Pink Floyd's new remastered "Discovery" CD box set is the most anticipated rock music box set release since The Beatles remastered stereo & mono CD box sets from 2009.
This box set contains 16 total CDs. That is all 14 Pink Floyd studio albums from '67 through '94. The box set contains 16 discs instead of just 14 because 2 of their albums were double disc albums (The Wall and Ummagumma.)
While many Floyd fans already own all of their albums, what makes this Discovery box set interesting is that it features newly remastered versions of each of the band's albums. They were remastered by a very respected producer by the name James Guthrie who was a co-producer for The Wall in 1979.
For Pink Floyd fans who are not yet intimate with the band's entire back catalog this new CD box set is an amazing way to "discover" it. Is there a better way to hear Pink Floyd's timeless music for the first time than with great digitally remastered sound? I would strongly suggest listening to these albums in chronological order so you can hear the band's awesome journey from their "interstellar" beginnings with the original lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist Syd Barrett to the post Roger Waters era in the '80s and '90s.
And there are those who may know their most popular albums like The Dark Side of the Moon like the back of their hand but who have never fully delved into the band's other albums. I am a huge fan of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Animals, and Meddle. I actually enjoy all three of these albums more than The Wall, despite its massive popularity
In addition to the Discovery CD Box Set, there are also three "Immersion" box sets being released; one box set for each of their three most famous albums; 1973's The Dark Side of the Moon, 1975's Wish You Were Here, and 1979's The Wall. Each of these box sets includes from 5 to 7 discs focused on just that album! That may seem like a bit too much to some, but these are really amazing albums and truly do deserve that kind of "immersion."
The Pink Floyd: Oh By The Way Box Set is the "old way" of getting all of this legendary band's albums in one go. It includes the old versions of Pink Floyd's albums.
