Seeing as Floyd are one of those rare bands with tons of quality material unexplicabily unreleased to this day, I'd say yes, I could do with some more. ------------- Bigger on the inside. |

| I'm sure there are new buyers for Pink Floyd albums, and that they'd prefer new reissues instead of buying old cheap editions that remained unsold or buying used ones. |

The existing CDs sound excellent so I hope they don't get carried away by the whole remastering craze. And an official release of rare goodies is long overdue, I would especially look forward for the BBC sessions from 68-71  |

I own three Pink Floyd albums - Atom Heart Mother, Wish You Were Here and Pulse. Been totally satisfied with these but on the other hand, I might check some older material ... |

All I care about is live concert DVD (video) from the Waters era. If they're not going to release DVDs of the 70s tours, then this is a big yawn to me. ------------- ...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell" |

Yepp i Agree that would be worth my hard earned cash, Notice they not said what the new material is, might well spend some my hard earned on some the new Vinyls though as some mine seen better days depends on how much there going to be though. -------------

I guess there going to tag this so called new material on to the original albums , it would be far better if they just put it out on its own separate from the original albums but hey Money it's a Gas !!!

I get the impression that they are selling the same stuff over and over and over again for years and years and years. For me the Pink Floyd chapter is about over now. Remember that Night and In the Flesh were excellent swan songs. Maybe David or Roger will come up one day with some more good solo work. Those remastered albums may be fine for audiophile newbies with an overload of finance in their wallets.  -------------

Open the archives, make the bootlegs official, release live stuff, and make unheard things heard. But it's nearly criminal to entice people to buy 40 pages of glossy photos and kitsch just so they might hear a rough cut of "On the Run."

If only. From the looks of it, any live material or unreleased stuff will require buying the remastered albums. What a money grab. |

Seeing unreleased material unearthed is never a bad thing. (Though I doubt they have much that the most hardcore fans/bootlegers haven't already heard in some form).If they could somehow put together some "Official Bootleg" DVD of a Water's Era concert that would potentially be awesome. Seeing as this is what that article is about I have no problem this. 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. -------------

Cut and [asted from this press release:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/may/10/pink-floyd-unreleased-tracks-on-emi" rel="nofollow - http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/may/10/pink-floyd-unreleased-tracks-on-emi
More than four decades after they released their first album, previously unheard recordings from http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/pinkfloyd" rel="nofollow - 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 http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/emi" rel="nofollow - 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. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How awesome is that?

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 -------------

I notice it says that this is an EMI thing. Will Capitol jump on this? Or is this just a U.K thing? I guess EMI is doing everything in their power to hold onto Pink Floyd since Queen and Paul McCartney have jumped ship.

| They still have to release the Division Bell outtakes... it was originally intended as a double album and the unreleased tracks are said to have an ambient/atmospheric mood |

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)  ------------- CYMRU AM BYTH

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). ------------- CYMRU AM BYTH

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

| 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. |

| 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. |
