Actors, props and fittings were set in and between those walls. To create the idea on a photograph, various walls-which had varied measurements and angles to ensure that "nothing seemed to fit other than by eye through the lens."-were built and put in a country landscape in Sussex.
Eventually Thorgerson opted to make two images, with another used for the back cover. For instance, the man on fire from Wish You Were Here, another wearing the Delicate Sound of Thunder lightbulb suit, dolls of the Atom Heart Mother cow and the Animals pig, a bike and both a brick wall and the hammers from The Wall.

Four of the band's albums- More, Ummagumma, Atom Heart Mother and Obscured by Clouds-are not represented, though multiple tracks from Atom Heart Mother and Ummagumma were planned to appear on the compilation.

The compilation spans the career of Pink Floyd from their first single " Arnold Layne" in 1967, through to " High Hopes", the final track from their 1994 studio album The Division Bell.
