EMI will recreate Pink Floyd‘s celebrated “Animals” cover on Monday, when the record label flies an inflatable pig over the Battersea Power Station in South London.
The stunt kicks off the label’s Why Pink Floyd? remaster campaign. EMI is reissuing all of the band’s 14 studio albums Monday (Tuesday in the U.S.), as well as releasing “Experience” and “Immersion” multi-disc editions of “The Dark Side of the Moon.” Expanded versions of “Wish You Were Here” and “The Wall” will follow in November and February, respectively.
The PVC replica — “Algie,” the original swine, was determined unfit for flight — was created by Germany’s Air Artists, which has created all Floyd inflatables since 1976.
All of this weather permitting, of course.
MAKE SURE ITS SECURE THIS TIME LOL
