Os Pink Floyd, constituídos por Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, Rick Wright e Nick Mason, entraram na cena musical em 1967, com o single de grande sucesso ‘Arnold Layne’.

Apesar da partida de Syd Barrett, a banda, que passou a incluir David Gilmour, gravou alguns dos discos mais inovadores e vanguardistas da época, culminando, em 1973, com um dos álbuns mais vendidos de sempre, ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’. Seguiram-se numerosos álbuns que alcançaram o 1º lugar das tabelas de vendas em todo o mundo como ‘The Wall’, ‘Animals’, ‘Wish You Were Here’, ‘The Final Cut’ e o mais recente, ‘The Endless River’, em 2014.

As edições da Pink Floyd Records serão produzidas e distribuídas pela Warner Music para o Reino Unido e Europa e pela Sony Music para a América do Norte e resto do mundo. Max Lousada, presidente e CEO da Warner Music UK, disse: “Orgulhamo-nos de continuar a apoiar uma das maiores e mais influentes bandas do mundo.

É um capítulo novo e entusiasmante na nossa longa parceria com os Pink Floyd e estamos desejosos de trabalhar com eles na preservação da sua obra notável”. Rob Stringer, presidente e CEO da Columbia Records, disse: “Orgulhamo-nos de continuar a longa relação, na América do Norte e não só, entre a Columbia Records e os Pink Floyd. Estamos entusiasmados em trabalhar com a banda no seu incrível legado musical.”

On 3 June 2016, Pink Floyd Records will begin the reintroduction of the Pink Floyd catalogue on vinyl for the first time in over two decades. The first four records will be ‘The Piper at the Gates of Dawn’, ‘A Saucerful of Secrets’, the soundtrack from the film ‘More’ and the 2 LP set ‘Ummagumma’. Pink Floyd Records will reproduce the vinyl catalogue throughout the year with release dates being announced at regular intervals.

Special care has been taken to replicate the original packaging. The first batch of releases, mastered by James Guthrie, Joel Plante and Bernie Grundman will be pressed on 180gram vinyl for optimum sound quality.

"For many years, this double-LP was one of the most popular albums in Pink Floyd's pre-Dark Side of the Moon output, containing a live LP and a studio LP for the price of one. The live set, recorded in Birmingham and Manchester in June 1969, is limited to four numbers, all drawn from the group's first two LPs or their then-recent singles. Featuring the band's second lineup (i.e., no Syd Barrett), the set shows off a very potent group, their sound held together on-stage by Nick Mason's assertive drumming and Roger Waters' powerful bass work, which keep the proceedings moving no matter how spaced out the music gets. They also sound like they've got the amplifiers to make their music count, which is more than the early band had. "Astronomy Domine," "Careful with That Axe Eugene," "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun," and "A Saucerful of Secrets" are all superior here to their studio originals, done longer, louder, and harder, with a real edge to the playing. The studio LP was more experimental, each member getting a certain amount of space on the record to make his own music - Richard Wright's "Sysyphus" was a pure keyboard work, featuring various synthesizers, organs, and pianos; David Gilmour's "The Narrow Way" was a three-part instrumental for acoustic and electric guitars and electronic keyboards, and Nick Mason's "The Grand Vizier's Garden Party" made use of a vast range of acoustic and electric percussion devices. Roger Waters' "Grantchester Meadows" was a lyrical folk-like number unlike almost anything else the group ever did." ~ Bruce Eder, All Music
