WOO-HOO!! This is what I've been waiting for! I am still missing Obscured By Clouds and everything before Meddle... just within the past couple years I've really started appreciating that stuff more (thanks to The Machine, gotta add that), but I've been holding off on buying anything, hoping this would happen. Well I know what I'M getting for Christmas this year... woo-hoo!

By the way, PFO, you're missing Wish You Were Here on your list above... it's on the photo and it's included on Brain Damage's news blurb.

Hi all! This is great news!

I was wondering how much the Pink Floyd Box Set costs. Can you help me with this and let me know how can I buy it online?

Thank you!

Regards,

Monica

New Pink Floyd Box Set to Be Released

It's with pleasure that we are finally able to bring you some proper news on the much-speculated on, upcoming "Pink Floyd Mini-Vinyl Studio Box Set"!

The set has been rumoured for some time, and various sites have posted information on it with varying degrees of accuracy, but we've just been given the official "nod" to reveal certain details to you of what will surely be on many peoples' Christmas present lists, including the confirmed release date and ordering details.

With not just the studio albums inside Storm Thorgerson's specially designed box, even those who have the entire back catalogue with find something of interest.

The main meat of the box set is the entire Pink Floyd studio album catalogue packaged as mini-vinyl reproductions all in one CD box set - much like the highly limited Japanese album replicas from a few years ago which now command high amounts on eBay!

You'll get:

• The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
• A Saucerful Of Secrets
• More
• Ummagumma (2 CD)
• Atom Heart Mother
• Meddle
• Obscured By Clouds
• The Dark Side Of The Moon
• Wish You Were Here
• Animals
• The Wall (2 CD)
• The Final Cut
• A Momentary Lapse Of Reason
• The Division Bell
  

Each CD is a faithful reproduction of the original vinyl using original artwork, all the original inserts (posters, stickers, and the like) and LP-style dust jackets. We also understand that there will be an 20" x 30" high quality poster included.

In addition, there will be a DVD in the box, which looks to feature the individual members of the band discussing the 40th anniversary and landmarks in their career. There may be some musical content also in the DVD, but like the box set as a whole, some details of the DVD are still to be decided on and an official announcement should be made soon once every element of the box set is cast in stone.

Finally, that all important release date. The band's manager told us last night that this is currently looking to be December 3rd with the normal variations around the world - for example, the USA is December 4th.

The perfect way to fill all those gaps in your collection, or for those who are yet to get the majority of the studio albums. With the DVD, and the very special presentation of the set, this collection (which we hear is limited to 10,000 worldwide) should sell quickly.

azza200 Wrote:The point i was making they have lots of other rarites footage outtakes hidden away in their vaults. Its all well and good releasing a boxset of all the albums but with no extra bonus songs on the albums ala Piper for example seems a bit poor IMO. They could "re-release" the albums seperatly and do deluxe editons of the albums like Piper and similar to what The Who have done.

azza200 Wrote:The way i see it all we are basically getting new artwork thats it nothing new on the albums no bonus songs outtakes etc which is a bit of a rip off to some degree.

i'd agree with you if I bought it expecting something else..I still contend it can only be a rip-off if you buy it...*puts down dead horse club*

Also just realized where the "Oh by the way" name for the box set comes from...

Comes from Have a Cigar: "Oh by the way, which ones Pink?"

Did that not register for anyone else at first either? lol

Just thought it was a random name for the box set.

No, you're not alone... didn't register with me either... all I can think of is the Red Hot Chili Peppers song. And yes, it is pretty random... and stupid, because it makes it sound like an afterthought, or maybe even extra surprise bonus material, even though it doesn't follow any other recent release and there are no extras. There were so many other possible names that would have been so much better... oh well.

--Vik

I had pre-ordered this box set from F.Y.E. (that's where I found the best deal, $180 after a 10% off online coupon for first-time customers), but I didn't do it until the night before release (that's when I figured out that nobody was carrying it in-store). Well all this time it's been on "backorder"... and I figured my chances of ever getting it were pretty slim, considering it's limited to 10,000 worldwide and I'd read that pre-orders alone were much higher than that. Well to my surprise, I got an email the other day saying it's been shipped... WOO-HOO! Merry Christmas to me!

And to everyone here (and everywhere else too) who has complained about this box set not including any bonus material... if they HAD included any extras, those same people would be complaining about having to spend all that money on material they already owned just to get the extras! Now, that said, I'm all for them doing SEPARATE release of JUST bonus material... that would be ideal. Just as this box set is ideal for someone who doesn't already own any/many Floyd albums. In my case I already owned 8 and was missing 6, so it was kind of a borderline call for me, especially since I'm told they're all being remastered and re-released separately next year (probably the reason the box set was limited to 10,000 worldwide), but I figure I can always pass my duplicates on to my son, so it still made sense for me, especially when I found the deal I found. Anyway, I'M a happy camper!

Although I still say "Oh By The Way" was the dumbest title ever. I did hear one interesting theory though... since there's always this ongoing debate over who is/was the most defining member of Pink Floyd, maybe you're supposed to listen to the entire library, all neatly packaged in one box set, and ponder over "Which one's Pink?"

Hey, did you all know about how a "small number" of boxsets went out with a misprint on the inner sleeve of disc 2 of The Wall? The lyrics for side 3 are repeated where the lyrics for side 4 should be. And if you got one like that, you can email them for a replacement sleeve. You can read about it here:
http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/index.php

Well anyway, turns out I got one of the misprinted ones... and I'm pretty happy about it! Although I'd like to know what a "small number" is exactly. I emailed them for a replacement sleeve at the end of December... the only response I've gotten so far is an "out of office reply" from a Paul Fletcher who was away for the holidays... but I'm sure it'll come in the mail soon.

YAY, my replacement sleeve came in the mail today! Actually they sent me 2 of them, in 2 separate envelopes, hand-addressed by the same person.
