What appears to be a massive boxset of early Pink Floyd material appeared on the official webstore of Pink Floyd.
And then disappeared.
Google’s cache of the page reveals “The Early Years Box Set: 1965-1972” contains more than 11 hours or audio (130+ tracks) and more than 14 hours of audio-visual material.
Here are the details:
- Comprehensive 27-disc box set, 7 individual book style volumes
- 20+ songs previously unreleased, 7+ hours of previously unreleased live audio performances, 5+ hours of ?rare concert footage, along with 5 7” singles in replica sleeves, collectable memorabilia, feature films & ?new sound mixes
- BBC Radio Sessions, remixes, outtakes, and alternative versions more than 11 hours of audio (made up of 130+ ?tracks) as well as live TV performance in more than 14 hours audio visual
- Previously unreleased tracks include 1967’s Vegetable Man and In The Beechwoods, which have been ?mixed for the first time specially for this release
- 2 historic Quad mixes (1 unreleased), plus new 5.1 mixes of Meddle and Obscured By Clouds albums
- Plus Pink Floyd’s early vinyl singles — the first 5 UK releases, (1967-68) remastered from original tapes, original sleeves/heavyweight vinyl/paper labels replicated
The page lists the box as “Coming soon” for a price of $700.
Could someone at shop.pinkfloyd.com have accidentally pulled the trigger early? Revealing a box that wasn’t yet ready-for-primetime? Apparently.
Details as they’re available …
