Pink Floyd are revisiting their latest catalogue title with a standalone issue of a celebrated live bootleg on new formats \u2013 and they\u2019re also planning a unique new compilation.<\/p>\n

The group\u2019s\u00a0Wish You Were Here 50<\/a> was packed with extras, most notably Live from the Los Angeles Sports Arena, April 26th, 1975. This performance, featuring key selections from the 1975 album as well as a full performance of the group\u2019s 1973 masterpiece\u00a0The Dark Side of the Moon, was taped by legendary bootlegger Mike Millard<\/a> and restored for official release by Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree. The somewhat confusing formats of the physical and digital packaging meant it was only available on a Blu-ray disc as part of a larger box set, or to stream and download. Finally, Sony Music will release two special physical versions of the album<\/a>: a 4LP edition available at participating indie retailers on Record Store Day<\/a> (Saturday, April 18), followed by a 2CD general release a week later, on April 24. (The 2CD was originally planned to come out as an \u201cRSD First\u201d title on the 18th.) These releases will give all Pink Floyd collectors a chance to own this set in any or all the current formats most listeners enjoy music.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Wilson is also involved in a new, unusual compilation coming out on CD, LP and digital on June 5.\u00a08-Tracks<\/a> is, as one might guess, an eight-track condensed overview of Pink Floyd\u2019s \u201970s material (save for 1970\u2019s\u00a0Atom Heart Mother). It includes singles \u201cOne of These Days\u201d (from 1971\u2019s\u00a0Meddle), \u201cMoney\u201d (from\u00a0The Dark Side of the Moon) and \u201cAnother Brick in the Wall, Part 2\u201d and \u201cComfortably Numb\u201d (from 1979\u2019s double album\u00a0The Wall), as well as\u00a0Dark Side album cut \u201cTime\u201d and\u00a0Wish You Were Here\u2018s title track. Honoring the format this collection is named after,\u00a08-Tracks will be sequenced in two continuous programs edited by Steven Wilson, with sections from the original multitrack tapes utilized to foster the transitions between songs. Additionally, closing track \u201cPigs on the Wing\u201d (from 1977\u2019s Animals) will be heard in a rare, longer version that was previously only available on \u2013 you guessed it! \u2013 that album\u2019s eight-track cartridge release. (Happily, there will be no gimmicky eight-track format release of\u00a08-Tracks.)<\/p>\n
