The Discovery Box Set: Remastered Pink Floyd

The Pink Floyd Discovery Box Set is the most anticipated popular music box set release since The Beatles remastered stereo & mono CD box sets from 2009.

This box set includes a number of 16 CDs. That`s all 14 of their albums from 1967 through 1994. The box set contains 16 discs instead of 14 because two of their albums were double disc albums (The Wall and Ummagumma.

While many Floyd fans already get all of their studio albums, what makes this Discovery box set exciting is that it features new previously unreleased remastered versions of apiece of Pink Floyd`s albums. They were remastered by a producer named James Guthrie. In 1979 he co-produced The Wall.

For classic rock fans who are not yet familiar with Pink Floyd`s entire back catalog this new CD box set is a big way to "name" it (hence the name. Is there a best way to hear Pink Floyd`s unique music for the start time than with great digitally remastered sound quality? I would definitely recommend listening to these albums in place of their expiration date so you can hear the band`s unbelievable progression from their beginnings with Syd Barrett to the post Roger Waters era in the eighties and `90s.

And there are fans who live their very easily known albums like The Wall like the second of their hand but who have never really listened to the band`s other great albums. I am personally a huge fan of Animals, Meddle, and Piper at the Gates of Dawn. In fact I wish all 3 of these albums more than The Wall

In gain to the Discovery Remastered CD Box Set, there are likewise three "Immersion" box sets being released; one for apiece of their three most pop albums; The Dark Side of the Moon,Wish You Were Here, and The Wall. Each of these Immersion box sets includes from 5 to seven discs focused on but that one album! That may look like overkill to some casual fans, but these are actually brilliant albums and really do merit that form of "immersion."

The Dark Side of the Moon Box Set is likely the one I`m looking ahead to the most as I think it to be one of the almost perfect albums ever made.
