Re: Pink Floyd catalog to be reissued, with unreleased tracks!
Kind of a dumb promotion, but still. When Wish You Were Here gets 1 million plays on Spotify, they'll "unlock" the rest of the catalog (all 2011 remasters). So, start listening to it on repeat, jerks:

Pink Floyd's Early Years 1965-1972 collection to launch on November 11
Pink Floyd will release the ultimate box set The Early Years 1965-1972 on November 11.
The collection explores the first seven years of the band's 50-plus year career in a deluxe 27-disc package. It will feature 20 previously unreleased tracks and seven hours of unreleased live material. It'll also contain over 15 hours of video, such as TV appearances, BBC sessions, outtakes, demos and three feature films – The Committee, More and La Vallee.
Music from Pink Floyd-composed 1970 film Zabriskie Point has also been remixed and updated for the forthcoming box set.
The Early Years 1965-1972 "will give collectors the opportunity to hear the evolution of the band and witness their part in cultural revolutions from their earliest recordings and studio sessions to the years prior to the release of The Dark Side Of The Moon, one of the biggest selling albums of all time.
"From the single Arnold Layne to the 20-minute epic Echoes, fans will see the invention of psychedelic progressive rock via an insightful collection that explores the Pink Floyd story from the time Roger Waters, Richard Wright, Nick Mason and Syd Barrett met at London’s Regent Street Polytechnic through to Syd’s departure and David Gilmour joining to form the iconic lineup."
The box set is divided into six volumes – Cambridge St/Ation (1965-1967), Germin/Ation (1968), Dramatis/Ation (1969), Devi/Ation (1970), Reverber/Ation (1971), Obfusc/Ation (1972) and an exclusive bonus disc, Continu/Ation.
In addition to the deluxe set, Pink Floyd Records will also launch a 2-CD highlights album The Early Years – Cre/Ation on November 11.

That's an insane set. There's a time when I might have bit on it, but I don't even think I'd get through all of it now.
Wish there was an intermediate set around 150/200 bucks.
I'll probably just get the two CD set.

Rumor is that next year each box will be available on their own. You would just miss out on the last disc that is exclusive to this whole shebang set.

Not a huge fan of the Syd Barrett era or some of the earlier stuff. Would love a proper blu-ray release of Live at Pompeii though.

Much cheaper at Amazon.it (Italy). I preordered for around $383 shipped (currently around $400) at today's exchange rate. Also available at Amazon.co.uk for 376 pounds or around $420 shipped (at today's exchange rate).

Re: Pink Floyd catalog to be reissued, with unreleased tracks!
Price aside, this set looks to be pretty much the definitive set for the early years of the band. There might be some odds and ends that are missing, but more or less this is EVERYTHING that's out there. I'm really excited to finally have official copies of the Man and the Journey (an essential piece which represents the first 2 years of the Gilmour era far better than the official albums from that period imo) as well as the '70 and '71 BBC sessions. I wish we were getting the full Pompeii movie in HD as well as the audio in cd form, but that's about all I can think of to complain about.
One question I have though, what's the deal with the new 2016 remix of Obscured By Clouds on the 1972 volume? I don't specifically recall any stories about the band being particularly unhappy with that album in particular. Does anyone know the story behind this?
