English rock and roll legends Pink Floyd have announced the details for a massive new box-set that spans the early phases of their career. The 27-disc, 130-track release, titled The Early Years 1965-1972, will contain full albums, previously unreleased tracks, demos, studio outtakes, rare concert footage, and feature films, totalling 12 hours of audio and 15 hours of video content. The set will also come with 7″ singles, memorabilia and collectibles, and seven individual book-style collectors packages.
According to the band’s camp, the box set 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 their seminal album Dark Side Of The Moon in 1973.
The Early Years 1965-1972 will be available for purchase on November 11th. You can see the full track list here. The band will also release a smaller two-disc compilation (The Early Years – CRE/ATION) on the same day as the box set.
