New Pink Floyd release

Money grab??

Really?

They are professional musicians who make a living selling their music.

They've evidently identified demand for a 50th anniversary collection and are investing in satisfying that demand.

More power to them!

Most of us work or worked for a living. Guess we're all guilty of this "money grab" some of you whine about.

As a person who spends a lot of time listening to music, I'm wondering if it will be something for me, or not... very simple.

I have no use for a $200 + collection of LPs and CDs, but.. if they somehow come up with a single, remastered LP or CD that sounds better than my original releases and my 2 mofi LPs and mofi CDs....count me in. If not, I hope they sell a lot of sets to collectors who will appreciate the sets and PF can recoup their investment and make a profit too.

While they do mention remastered, and additional recordings from a live concert at Wembley in 1974, it’s not clear if the Stereo Mix recordings are enhanced from the originals or still the same as prior master recordings.

Ownership of the many aspects of the Pink Floyd catalog remain murky (look it up).

DSOTM is obviously the commercial behemoth of their recorded output and whoever owns it (or has recently acquired it) is milking it once again.

the Immersion box set (2011, Parlophone, now Warner owned) is where the first BluRay disc appeared, along with marbles & scarf.

I saw the tour in summer ‘73 and it was epic, especially since PF had sorta slid into semi-obscurity after their previous album, Obscured by Clouds.

I don’t see that particular “rainbow” treatment anywhere other than print ads so this whole thing, IMHO, is a non-issue.

This thread is hilarious. Always sad to hear the bigots come out of the woodwork. Again, for those that are slow; the queer community did not give a crap about this Pink Floyd release, it’s the conservative hypocrites being offended by a rainbow that have the issue. They saw the advert and wet their pants claimed PF was trying to be “woke”. Talk about making an issue out of nothing.

Sorry guys - I misread the article.  I get it now.
