Os Pink Floyd, constituídos por Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, Rick Wright e Nick Mason, entraram na cena musical em 1967, com o single de grande sucesso ‘Arnold Layne’.

Apesar da partida de Syd Barrett, a banda, que passou a incluir David Gilmour, gravou alguns dos discos mais inovadores e vanguardistas da época, culminando, em 1973, com um dos álbuns mais vendidos de sempre, ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’. Seguiram-se numerosos álbuns que alcançaram o 1º lugar das tabelas de vendas em todo o mundo como ‘The Wall’, ‘Animals’, ‘Wish You Were Here’, ‘The Final Cut’ e o mais recente, ‘The Endless River’, em 2014.

As edições da Pink Floyd Records serão produzidas e distribuídas pela Warner Music para o Reino Unido e Europa e pela Sony Music para a América do Norte e resto do mundo. Max Lousada, presidente e CEO da Warner Music UK, disse: “Orgulhamo-nos de continuar a apoiar uma das maiores e mais influentes bandas do mundo.

É um capítulo novo e entusiasmante na nossa longa parceria com os Pink Floyd e estamos desejosos de trabalhar com eles na preservação da sua obra notável”. Rob Stringer, presidente e CEO da Columbia Records, disse: “Orgulhamo-nos de continuar a longa relação, na América do Norte e não só, entre a Columbia Records e os Pink Floyd. Estamos entusiasmados em trabalhar com a banda no seu incrível legado musical.”

On 3 June 2016, Pink Floyd Records will begin the reintroduction of the Pink Floyd catalogue on vinyl for the first time in over two decades. The first four records will be ‘The Piper at the Gates of Dawn’, ‘A Saucerful of Secrets’, the soundtrack from the film ‘More’ and the 2 LP set ‘Ummagumma’. Pink Floyd Records will reproduce the vinyl catalogue throughout the year with release dates being announced at regular intervals.

Special care has been taken to replicate the original packaging. The first batch of releases, mastered by James Guthrie, Joel Plante and Bernie Grundman will be pressed on 180gram vinyl for optimum sound quality.

One of the most acclaimed concept albums of all time, The Wall is renowned as Roger Waters' rock opera dealing with the abandonment and personal isolation of a rock star, "Pink," facing the break-up of his marriage while on tour. This leads him to review his life from the death of his father - like Roger Waters' killed on the battlefield before he was born - to his spiteful teachers, his business, even his audience. He sees each as a brick in a metaphorical wall between him and the rest of the world. This wall intensifies his isolation, until he imagines the only solution is to become a fascist dictator. When he confronts his madness and deals with his issues, his torments cease and the wall crumbles.

Replete with smooth production, complex vignettes, and lacerating self-pity, the album yielded the U.S. and U.K. #1 hit "Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2," and was subsequently adapted for cinema by Alan Parker featuring Bob Geldof in the lead role. No matter your generation, you've heard of and will relate to The Wall. Treat yourself and experience it like never before with this pressing, sourced from the original master tapes. Rolling Stone nailed the record's genius when the magazine called it "Rock's ultimate self-pity opera, The Wall is also hypnotic in its indulgence: the totalitarian thunder of "In the Flesh?" the suicidal languor of "Comfortably Numb," the Brechtian drama of "The Trial."

Since 1967 Pink Floyd have produced one of the most outstanding and enduring catalogues in the history of recorded music. The albums have been painstakingly remastered from the original analogue tapes by James Guthrie, Joel Plante, and Bernie Grundman.

"Pink Floyd's most elaborately theatrical album was inspired by their own success: the alienating enormity of their tours after The Dark Side of the Moon, which was when bassist-lyricist Roger Waters first hit upon the wall as a metaphor for isolation and rebellion. He finished a demo of the work by July 1978; the double album then took the band a year to make. Rock's ultimate self-pity opera, The Wall is also hypnotic in its indulgence: the totalitarian thunder of "In the Flesh?" the suicidal languor of "Comfortably Numb," the Brechtian drama of "The Trial." Rock-star hubris has never been more electrifying." - Rolling Stone

"The story revolves around the fictional Pink Floyd's isolation behind a psychological wall. The wall grows as various parts of his life spin out of control, and he grows incapable of dealing with his neuroses. The album opens by welcoming the unwitting listener to Floyd's show ("In the Flesh?"), then turns back to childhood memories of his father's death in World War II ("Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 1"), his mother's over protectiveness ("Mother"), and his fascination with and fear of sex ("Young Lust"). By the time "Goodbye Cruel World" closes the first disc, the wall is built and Pink is trapped in the midst of a mental breakdown. On disc two, the gentle acoustic phrasings of "Is There Anybody Out There?" and the lilting orchestrations of "Nobody Home" reinforce Floyd's feeling of isolation. When his record company uses drugs to coax him to perform ("Comfortably Numb"), his onstage persona is transformed into a homophobic, race-baiting fascist ("In the Flesh"). In "The Trial," he mentally prosecutes himself, and the wall comes tumbling down. This ambitious concept album was an across-the-board smash, topping the Billboard album chart for 15 weeks in 1980. The single "Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2" was the country's best-seller for four weeks." - Rovi Staff, All Music
