Major Pink Floyd release campaign, Why Pink Floyd ... ?, to include unreleased music from the archives, collectors' box sets and complete studio recordings remastered.LONDON, May 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
Pink Floyd and
EMI Music, whose association dates from 1967, announce a comprehensive release schedule, to be launched on
September 26, 2011, encompassing CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, SACD, an array of digital formats, viral marketing, iPhone Apps and a brand-new single-album 'Best Of' collection.
The legendary band, who are still one of the most successful and iconic artists of all time, recently signed an agreement with EMI which has allowed the development of a multi-format programme of packages, many containing archive material that has been collated during an extensive process between EMI and Pink Floyd for a range of media formats.
The releases, under the banner
Why Pink Floyd ... ?, are designed to appeal to a wide cross section of their fans, with music to excite first time listeners, while super-deluxe box sets will cater to dedicated fans, allowing them to immerse themselves in multi-disc sets, containing alternate takes, unreleased tracks, restored live concert screen films and a live recording of the legendary
The Dark Side Of The Moon performance at Wembley in 1974.
A series of different listening experiences have been specially created for this release: in addition to remastered CD's called
'Discovery' and the
'Immersion' CD / DVD / Blu-ray / memorabilia box sets will be a series of
'Experience' Editions – coupling one classic album with a further disc of related content from that album to offer a deeper listening experience.
Roger Faxon, CEO of EMI Group, said
: "This is a unique collaboration between EMI and one of the most creative and influential bands in history. We have worked together for more than a year on this programme which incorporates all the elements that have made Pink Floyd one of the most inspiring forces in modern music. Why Pink Floyd? Because their music is without equal and these exciting new releases will allow music fans to rediscover their incredible legacy and demonstrate that an appreciation for artistic quality never goes out of fashion."Storm Thorgerson, the band's longtime Art Director, has overseen the visual design, including new booklets for all the CD's, new artwork for the box sets and menus for the DVD content. Respected photographer Jill Furmanovsky, has edited books of original unseen photographs. Pink Floyd collaborators James Guthrie (in the US) and Andy Jackson (in the UK) have been in charge of digital remastering to the highest audio and audiovisual standards.
Pink Floyd film archivist Lana Topham has supervised the painstaking restoration of many historic films from Pink Floyd's classic era, included in the 'Immersion' box sets for 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' and 'Wish You Were Here.'

j'étais gavé en fait 
neuve et cellophanée 
je l'avais acheté parce que sur E-Bay c'était le moins cher 
, et çà me rappelle que j'avais pris quelques cours de Chinois dans les 80's, mais bon j'ai assez vite laissé tomber, j'avais pas trop de temps à cette époque 
!!!
