New Pink Floyd release

Pink Floyd is commemorating the 50th anniversary of the release of Dark Side of the Moon.

The forthcoming The Dark Side Of The Moon box set will be available through Warners on March 24. It includes a CD and gatefold vinyl of the newly remastered studio album and Blu-Ray and DVD audio featuring the original 5.1 mix and remastered stereo versions.  The set also includes an additional new Blu-ray disc of a Dolby Atmos mix plus CD and LP of The Dark Side Of The Moon - Live At Wembley Empire Pool, London, 1974.

I hope the "remastered" versions are worthy improvements, but that isn't always the case these days.

The artwork is creating a stir among a small segment of "fans" who don't know what prisms and rainbows are... attacking or dis-owning the band for their "wokism". Can't make this stuff up, sadly.

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.

@amitynick Not only can you not read or comprehend, but you even think you can call people "tards" to insult them. Here is your post in all it's glory.

"I swear these woke-tards wake up each morning LOOKING for something to be offended by."

@au_lait  Amen!

Enjoy the music!

If only Floyd the Barber had put out an album. 

Floyd, Kramer, Lucy, Archie

The Mount Rushmore of sitcom.

Glad the band is generating income and long live the rainbow.
