Pink Floyd Records will reissue A Collection Of Great Dance Songs and Delicate Sound of Thunder on vinyl on Nov. 17. This marks the first time both albums have been available in this format for over 20 years. These recordings are Pink Floyd’s first “best of” and live albums to be remastered on vinyl.
Over the past two years, Pink Floyd Records has released the entire studio collection as stereo remastered versions on heavyweight 180g vinyl. All are mastered from the original analog studio tapes with album artwork faithfully reproduced. The same attention to detail applies to both of these albums, according to a press release from the label.
Originally released in 1981, A Collection of Great Dance Songs was certified double platinum by the RIAA in 2001. The compilation album contains alternative mixes and versions of classics including “Shine On You Crazy Diamond,” “Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)” and “Money.”
