LP Discography

This is a discography of records that have been released in Latvia by Pink Floyd.

Any comments, corrections or additions to this discography would be appreciated.

In the early 1990s, the Baltic Republics, including Latvia, became independent states. This resulted in the reorganization of many local branches of former Soviet Union state owned companies, including Melodia.
Ritonis is the record label that replaced the Baltic branch of Melodia (based in Riga, Latvia). It started out by rereleasing a number of LPs previously released by Melodia.
Most of their releases were sold to the Russian and local markets.
