Indeed, a concert from the Animals tour would be the most amazing thing to see on DVD, showing Pink Floyd at their very peak... but for the time we'll have to be content with an audio release of a Dark Side of the Moon concert (that is to come as an extra CD on Dard Side new release, on the experience edition), a few songs on video DVD (Careful with that axe and Set the Controls, if I remember well, also included on the new Dark Side release, but on the immersion edition); and also (from the same concert where Dark Side live was taken) Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Raving and Drooling, and You've got to be Crazy (Dogs and Ship early live versions), to appear on the Wish you were here experience edition.

Sadly, there's very little footage from the In The Flesh Tour.  I've heard the band recorded every concert, but I wish they'd had the foresight to film them.  The best I've seen is some shoddy looking 8mm from the Anaheim gig, I believe it was.  You're right, though.  I'd pay a lot more than they're asking for an Animals Boxset with good video.

In the 1970s many big band did spin off labels, I'm surprised Floyd didn't do this, I wonder (this is just a thought) could tey have had more artistic control over their releases (e.g. they wanted THE WALL to be a triple album).
You missed the point. I was simply asking if these new editions will be released in the U.S.

Well I guess the "Oh by the way" box set is hardly worth the money now...

as a Floyd fan myself this sounds good, what I find that stands out on this news is the unreleased gems.

Let's hope Vegetable Man and Scream Thy Last Scream (both from 1967) get the official shout.

DSOTM - Live at the Rainbow 1972 should also be considered.

I too hope these are remastered properly, not this new craze where everything is in the front, and hardly no backing tracklines, very annoying technique.

I wonder if Arnold Layne and See Emily Play will ever get a STEREO mix?? (nothing wrong with the mono mixes though)Tongue

The thread title kind of scared me. I thought this was potentially about a new album of songs from Gilmour/Mason. That must never happen. Never again.  Gilmour,Mason songs? LOL but last piece Nick did was Speak to me for DSOTM

Considering I'm seeing Roger Waters re-imagining of The Wall tonight (over 31 years on from seeing Floyd play it on the first night at Earls Court), perfect timing

Cut and [asted from this press release:
 
 

More than four decades after they released their first album, previously unheard recordings from Pink Floyd are to be released this summer.

The tracks will be unearthed from the archives in a schedule of releases which will include collectors' box sets and remastered studio recordings. The unheard recordings include a version of the album title track Wish You Were Here featuring jazz violinist Stéphane Grappelli.

The releases draw a line under legal disputes between the group and their label EMI. In March last year the veteran rockers went to the high court to prevent EMI selling individual tracks online via sites such as iTunes, arguing that in 1999 they signed a contract that "prohibits the sale of albums in any configuration other than the original". Ten months later, the surviving band members – Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason – agreed to the sale of single digital downloads.

All 14 studio albums will be re-released under the banner "Why Pink Floyd...?" from September. The Dark Side Of The Moon will be available in a six-disc "immersion" box set or a mere two-disc "experience" version, as well digitally and as a collectors' vinyl LP.

Wish You Were Here will be available on five discs, with material from the band's 1974 Wembley dates, including a 20-minute live version of Shine On You Crazy Diamond, or two. The Wall, which has sold 25m double sets, will be available in a seven-disc set, including a previously unreleased demo version of The Wall. A single album Best Of collection will also be released.

If more proof were needed that the band have finally embraced the digital age, or have at least loosened the concept of "artistic integrity", a campaign around the release will let fans make "their own creative contributions to the band's music" while iPhone Apps will chart the band's history and influence.

Exactly how I feel. Meddle, DSOFM, WYWH and Animals era live DVD's!
