A Foot in the Door also features five tracks from Dark Side of the Moon, three from Wish You Were Here, four from The Wall, as well as the early Syd Barrett “See Emily Play” and the latter-day “High Hopes” and “Learning to Fly”.
A Foot in the Door is a very worthy compilation of the Pink Floyd songs everybody knows by heart.
