Legacy Recordings/Pink Floyd Records has released its second preview of this fall’s upcoming “The Later Years” boxset. An early version of “High Hopes” dropped today.
The previously unreleased recording is a pared-down version with little or no orchestration of the song that ends 1995’s “The Division Bell.”
The label’s first taste of the upcoming boxset was a recording of “Wish You Were Here” from 1990’s Knebworth concert released Aug. 30. Floyd’s contribution to the original release of that show — Knebworth: The Album (1990) — was limited to two songs, “Run Like Hell” and “Comfortably Numb,” both originally from The Wall (1979). “The Later Years will include the band’s enter 7-song set from that day.
“The Later Years” will be released Nov. 29. Read more about the boxset (“The Later Years” boxset coming Nov. 29”).
