On Friday November 18th, Pink Floyd Records will continue the reintroduction of the Pink Floyd catalogue on vinyl with ANIMALS remastered from the original analogue master tapes and reissued on vinyl for the first time in over 20 years. WISH YOU WERE HERE and THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON are also back in stock on vinyl from October 21st and November 4th respectively. All albums are available through Legacy | Sony Music Entertainment Australia.
These albums began the band’s most successful run of releases, gaining them a whole new audience around the world as their musical style progressed and they toured extensively.
After over eight months of continuous recording at their own Britannia Row studios in 1976, ANIMALS was originally released in 1977 and became one of the band’s most popular albums. The album is amongst Pink Floyd’s most recognisable covers featuring the iconic pig flying above Battersea Power Station (‘Algie’ the pig was most recently seen flying above London’s V&A Museum to launch The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains).
Often cited as one of the greatest albums of all time, THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, released in 1973, has gone on to sell in excess of 50 million copies and is the band’s most commercially successful album. Including the songs ‘Time’, ‘The Great Gig in the Sky’ and ‘Money’, this became their first No.1 chart placing in the US.
Released in 1975, WISH YOU WERE HERE was Pink Floyd’s ninth studio album and features the band’s epic tribute to former member Syd Barrett, ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’. The album reached No.1 in the UK and US charts.
All previous Pink Floyd studio albums are available on vinyl now.
Also released on November 11th is THE EARLY YEARS 1965-1972, a deluxe 27-disc boxset featuring 7 individual book-style packages, including never before released material, as well as an additional 2-CD set THE EARLY YEARS – CRE/ATION. Both sets feature a new 2016 remix of ‘Childhood’s End’, which now has a new video created by Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell http://smarturl.it/PFChildhoodsEndYT and is available now as an iTunes Instant Grat track when pre-ordering the album – http://smarturl.it/PFChildhoodsEndiT
