It will offer 16 tracks chosen by the band, remastered by Guthrie and designed by Thorgerson. A single-disc greatest hits anthology, A Foot in the Door, rounds out the entire collection and is designed as the perfect introduction for the Pink Floyd newbie. Vinyl remasters are in the offing, and the titles will be offered digitally.
More titles in these two deluxe formats may be announced in the future. Finally, those same three albums will be available in Immersion editions which appear to live up to that label! The Immersion editions are packaged in 29 cm square boxes with remastered, previously unreleased and audio-visual material, plus additional content or "swag" such as reproduced memorabilia, brand new graphics, art prints, collectors' items, lavish booklets and more. Three albums will be presented in this format: The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975) and The Wall (1979). These albums will also be available in a box set.Įxperience editions expand classic Floyd albums in digipak format with second discs of unreleased archival material and expanded booklets. Every title has been digitally remastered by James Guthrie (co-producer of The Wall) and the renowned designer Storm Thorgerson is responsible for new artwork. These are designed as introductions to the band's core catalogue, and each of the 14 titles in the series adds a new booklet with complete lyrics. The Discovery discs are remasters of the original studio albums with no additional audio content. (The official site of the project also indicates that SACDs may be included!) The overall campaign encompasses CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, vinyl, an array of digital formats, viral marketing and iPhone apps.
These three lines are intended to offer sonically superior versions of these albums at every price point for every level of collector. ORIGINAL POST: Why Pink Floyd? Why not? Whatever the answer, though, Why Pink Floyd is the name of the major new catalogue intiative for the legendary band, and while matters have sometimes been contentious between band members, they appear to be in perfect harmony for the launch of this campaign! The expansive collection is a three-tiered celebration of the work of Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright: Discovery, Experience and Immersion. UPDATE: Thanks to reader Alan for passing along the track listings for these sets! You can read them after the jump.
