Pink Floyd Set to Release 16-Disc Box Set in November

Pink Floyd will focus on the latter part of their career with the November 29th release of a massive 16-disc box set entitled "The Later Years."

The 5-CD/6-Blu-ray/5-DVD package delivers the work of guitarist David Gilmour, drummer Nick Mason and keyboardist Richard Wright from 1987 onwards.

The set opens with an updated version of 1987's "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason", newly-remixed by Gilmour and Andy Jackson - and presented for the first time in 5.1 audio - that includes new drum tracks recorded by Mason.

1998's live album, "Delicate Sound Of Thunder" - which captures the band during a five-night stand at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island, NY - has also been remixed over 2CD and Blu-ray and DVD editions.

Previously-unreleased live performances from Pink Floyd's famous 1989 Venice Concert and a 1990 appearance at Knebworth are also featured in video and audio formats, while the 1995 release, "Pulse", has been re-edited and upgraded for "The Later Years" package.

It includes the first ever release, on Blu-ray, DVD and 7" vinyl, of the last live performance of Pink Floyd with Gilmour, Mason and Wright together in 2007; this special performance of "Arnold Layne" took place at the Syd Barrett Tribute Concert at The Barbican in 2007.

Additional extras include reproductions of tour artwork, posters, programs, tour laminates and lyric book, and a brand new 60-page hardback book of photos designed by Aubrey Powell of Hipgnosis and Peter Curzon of StormStudios, including many previously unseen images.

The 5 CD's are encased in their own 40-page hardback book with an extensive guide to all content, track-lists and credits.

There will also be a 2-LP / 1-CD 'Highlights' package. It comes in a gatefold sleeve (for both 1-CD and 2-LP), and each will contain a 24-page booklet containing previously unseen and rare photos.
