On Sept. 28, Pink Floyd Records will issue 2011’s “A Foot in the Door — The Best of Pink Floyd” for the first time on vinyl.
The 16-track compilation will become a 2-LP set pressed onto heavyweight 180-gram vinyl.
It’ll include a gate-fold outer sleeve and two printed inner bags. The original sleeve design by the late Storm Thorgerson has been revised by Hipgnosis cohorts Aubrey Powell and Peter Curzon to include alternate versions of the photos used on the original CD.
Originally released as part of the band’s 2011 “Why Pink Floyd?” reissue campaign, “A Foot in the Door” includes tracks from “The Dark Side of the Moon” (1973), “Wish You Were Here” (1975), “The Wall” (1979), “The Final Cut” (1983), “A Momentary Lapse of Reason” (1987), “The Division Bell” (1994), and the early ’67 single “See Emily Play.”
All tracks have been re-mastered for vinyl by long-time Floyd associate James Guthrie working with Joel Plante; with lacquers cut by Bernie Grundman of Grundman Mastering in Los Angeles, Calif.
This vinyl pressing of the album will feature the full version of “Time,” restoring the ringing alarm clocks at the start of the track, which were omitted on the CD release.
