NewsPink Floyd / 8-Tracks
New compilation… with a twist
Pink Floyd will release a new ‘best of’ compilation in June, called 8-Tracks.
As the title suggests, this collection features eight songs, all selected from the band’s 1971 – 1979 era. These include ‘Money’, ‘Wish You Were Here’, ‘Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2’, ‘Time’ and ‘Comfortably Numb’, alongside earlier cuts in ‘One Of These Days’ and ‘Wot’s… Uh The Deal’. There is one rarity: the full version of ‘Pigs On The Wing’, with the Snowy White guitar solo, previously only available on the 8-track cartridge version of Animals, released in 1977.
Also, the track sequence has been edited by Steven Wilson using sound effects sourced from the original multitracks to make for a continuous listening experience in “classic Floydian style”. To allow for this Wilson accessed the original multitracks to lift out some of the sound effects to create crossfades between the tracks. This approach may or may not prove controversial, but at least they are doing something a bit different.
8-Tracks will be released on black vinyl, blue vinyl and CD (but not 8-track cartridge, unless we have a ‘surprise’ D2C product coming later) on 5 June 2026, via Sony.
