New Pink Floyd release

Pink Floyd is commemorating the 50th anniversary of the release of Dark Side of the Moon.

The forthcoming The Dark Side Of The Moon box set will be available through Warners on March 24. It includes a CD and gatefold vinyl of the newly remastered studio album and Blu-Ray and DVD audio featuring the original 5.1 mix and remastered stereo versions.  The set also includes an additional new Blu-ray disc of a Dolby Atmos mix plus CD and LP of The Dark Side Of The Moon - Live At Wembley Empire Pool, London, 1974.

I hope the "remastered" versions are worthy improvements, but that isn't always the case these days.

The artwork is creating a stir among a small segment of "fans" who don't know what prisms and rainbows are... attacking or dis-owning the band for their "wokism". Can't make this stuff up, sadly.

Ownership of the many aspects of the Pink Floyd catalog remain murky (look it up).

DSOTM is obviously the commercial behemoth of their recorded output and whoever owns it (or has recently acquired it) is milking it once again.

the Immersion box set (2011, Parlophone, now Warner owned) is where the first BluRay disc appeared, along with marbles & scarf.

I saw the tour in summer ‘73 and it was epic, especially since PF had sorta slid into semi-obscurity after their previous album, Obscured by Clouds.

I don’t see that particular “rainbow” treatment anywhere other than print ads so this whole thing, IMHO, is a non-issue.
