Pink Floyd have announced the release of a newly remastered version of their album The Dark Side Of The Moon on vinyl, CD and Blu-ray. This edition is scheduled to be released on October 13th.
The new remaster is available separately without a box set
The standalone remixed reissue was originally part of The Dark Side Of The Moon 50th Anniversary Box Set, which was released in March of this year. This is now the first time that the new remaster will be available separately. The Blu-ray contains the Dolby Atmos and a 5.1 surround mix as well as the remastered stereo version. The package comes with commemorative postcards, stickers and a 24-page booklet.
Video competition for animators with Pink Floyd’s creative director Aubrey Powell
At the same time, a competition is currently running inviting animators to create new music videos for Pink Floyd that offer “a fresh visual interpretation” of the songs on the album. More information can be found on the band’s website.
Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell, Pink Floyd’s creative director and one-half of the Hipgnosis design studio that created the album cover, will evaluate and discuss the work and creative process with some of the contestants in a YouTube talk afterwards. This call is scheduled to take place on September 6th at 5pm UK time.
Updates on Pink Floyd
2023 was an eventful year for the album: Pink Floyd celebrated the record’s 50th anniversary with various reissues. Bandmate Roger Waters will also release his own new version of the album Dark Side Of The Moon Redux on October 6th.
