Pink Floyd

Quant à Ummagumma c'est un double album, composé d'un album studio et d'un album live.

You'll get: The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, A Saucerful Of Secrets, More, Ummagumma (2CD), Atom Heart Mother, Meddle, Obscured By Clouds, The Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall (2CD), The Final Cut, A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, The Division Bell.

Each CD is a faithful reproduction of the original vinyl using original artwork, all the original inserts (posters, stickers, and such like) and LP-style dust jackets. We also understand that there will be an 20" x 30" high quality poster included.
In addition, there will be a DVD in the box, which looks to feature the individual members of the band discussing the 40th anniversary and landmarks in their career. There may be some musical content also in the DVD, but like the box set as a whole, some details of the DVD are still to be decided on, and an official announcement should be made soon once every element of the box set is cast in stone.

Bravewords a écrit:Fans seeking to purchase some of PINK FLOYD’s classics albums on iTunes have hit a wall. All of the legendary band’s post-Dark Side Of The Moon albums have disappeared from online MP3 retailers, due to the group’s contract with EMI that covered those works, which ended on June 30th, according to the Associated Press.

That means you can’t buy The Wall, Animals or Wish You Were Here on iTunes, Amazon’s MP3 shop or many other locations. The physical copies of those albums are still available on CD, but only because EMI has a stock of those recordings that it can still sell. However, if Pink Floyd doesn’t sign with another distributor (or re-sign with EMI), their latter-day albums could become rare. The earlier works, from Piper At The Gates Of Dawn through Dark Side are part of a different contract and remain available on CD or as digital downloads.

Pink Floyd’s management has been trying to find the best home for the band’s full catalogue for the past year or more, but has yet to come to an agreement with any major label. Although many groups have had trouble selling albums in recent years, Pink Floyd remains one of the best-selling acts of the Nielsen SoundScan era. Since 1991, the group has sold more than 36 million albums in the United States. Relying solely on older products, Pink Floyd sold 654,000 copies last year and 311,000 so far in 2010. In recent years, digital downloads have accounted for about 40 percent of the band’s sales.
