On May 10, EMI announced a massive Pink Floyd reissue/rarities project called “Why Pink Floyd?” to commence this fall. (See our previous post: “EMI announces massive Floyd reissue/rarity project“)

Below is our first post detailing the items to be included in this project. We’re starting with the so-called “Discovery” editions, set for release in the U.S. on Sept. 27.

At the core of “Why Pink Floyd” is a reissue of every Floyd studio album:

1. The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
2. A Saucerful Of Secrets
3. More
4. Ummagumma
5. Atom Heart Mother
6. Meddle
7. Obscured By Clouds
8. The Dark Side Of The Moon
9. Wish You Were Here
10. Animals
11. The Wall
12. The Final Cut
13. A Momentary Lapse Of Reason
14. The Division Bell

All Discovery reissues have been digitally remastered by James Guthrie (co-producer of “The Wall”), and include newly-designed packaging and booklets created by the band’s long-time designer Storm Thorgerson.

Designed to be an introduction to the band, all Discovery discs include booklets containing full album lyrics.

Single-disc albums are priced at $15.88; double-discs at $20.57.

Discovery box set

All 14 Discovery reissues will also be available as a boxset that includes a 60-page artwork booklet designed by Thorgerson. The set is priced at $209.57.
