Pink Floyd / The Endless River deluxe box sets and gatefold vinyl
The Endless River is a new Pink Floyd album created from music recorded in 1993 during The Division Bell sessions.
At the time, David Gilmour, Rick Wright and Nick Mason had played freely together (at Britannia Row and Astoria studios) for the first time in over 20 years and the unreleased sessions from that time have been revisited, with the band spending the last year recording and upgrading the music to create The Endless River.
The band are describing this new record as a “tribute to Rick Wright”. It is a mainly instrumental album with one song, Louder Than Words, (new lyrics by Polly Samson) and is produced by David Gilmour, Phil Manzanera, Youth and Andy Jackson.
The Endless River will be available as a standard CD edition (a 16-page hardcover book edition), and a two-disc deluxe box set that comes with a 24-page hardcover book, and CD and blu-ray (or DVD).
The blu-ray offers hi-res 5.1 surround (DTS Master Audio and PCM, 96/24), plus PCM stereo 96/24. The DVD also has 5.1 surround (Dolby Digital and DTS), plus stereo version in 48kHz /24 bit.
Both Blu-ray and DVD offer non-album audio-visual material (approx. 39 minutes) which consists of six video tracks and three audio tracks, unavailable elsewhere. The video is sourced from standard definition source material.
There is also a Doug Sax mastered double gatefold vinyl edition which also includes a download code for digital version.
The design and packaging has been overseen by Creative Director Aubrey Powell at long-time visual collaborators Hipgnosis.
The Endless River is released on 10 November 2014.
