Pink Floyd re-releases? Pigs will fly
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 26 September 2011
EMI will today float a big balloon pig above Battersea Power Station in South London, recreating the cover artwork to Pink Floyd’s ‘Animals’ album in order to celebrate the release of remastered versions of all of the band’s studio albums on CD and digitally, plus a special box set contained all fourteen records.
The pig is expected to float above the ruined former power station all day. It’s not actually the same pig used in for the cover artwork of the 1976 album – in case anyone thought it might be – though that inflatable was only declared unairworthy a couple of weeks ago. A PVC replica has thus been made for the occasion.
Following the release of the remastered albums today, a best of compilation will come out in November. There will also be special editions of three albums including rarities and previously unreleased extras – the ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ special edition is out today, ‘Wish You Were Here’ will follow in November, and ‘The Wall’ next February.
