Pink Floyd’s Later Years box delayed

The ‘running a wee bit late’, years…

Pink Floyd‘s 18-disc Later Years box set has been delayed and will now be issued two weeks late, on 13 December 2019.

This has been blamed on “production and logistical” issues and even if you only want the digital download, you still have to wait. However, if you have ordered the 2LP vinyl or single CD ‘highlights’ edition then that will be available on 29 November, as planned.

The Later Years box concentrates on the post-Waters era, and highlights include

  • A Momentary Lapse Of Reason updated and re-mixed by David Gilmour and Andy Jackson
  • Over six hours of previously unheard audio and more than seven hours of previously unseen audio/visuals from A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, The Division Bell and The Endless River albums
  • Full unreleased audio and remastered films from 1989’s Venice concert and 1990’s special Knebworth concert
  • First ever release of Floyd’s last live performance with David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright together at the 2007 Syd Barrett Tribute Concert

The big box has come down in price (by as much as £100) since it was announced back in August, although with a price tag north of £300 it’s still not exactly cheap.

The Later Years box set will be issued on 13 December 2019.
