Sorry to be a pedant Whickerman, but your Echoes album is actually called Meddle - Echoes is just the title of the track conytained on side two, if you are a vinyl type, or the long track of you are on CD.

Can't agree with the Lou Reed choice though ...In my opinion .. Transformer is a better album.
