The Pink Floyd Discovery Box Set includes all fourteen of the band's studio albums from their 1960s Syd Barrett lead debut through their 1970s masterworks The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and Animals all the way through their final album 1994's The Division Bell.
All of these albums have been digitally remastered by the co-producer of 1979's double album The Wall.
Any audiophile who has listened to the awesome gains in sound quality from the old Beatles CDs to the 2009 remastered CDs that are in The Beatles in Stereo Box Set knows that this digital remastering so much more than just an advertising gimmick. A good remastering can allow you to hear this music in a whole new way.
Along with the CDs themselves, the Discovery Box Set contains an exclusive artwork booklet by the band's long time art collaborator and each album comes with a booklet which has complete lyrics for that album.
As well as this 16 disc studio album "Discovery" box set (Ummagumma and The Wall are double albums) Pink Floyd is also coming out with three "Immersion" multi CD box sets for their three biggest selling LPs.
The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall are singled out with these box sets which are the most interesting thing for serious fans because they include previously unreleased live recordings, alternate takes, and alternate surround sound mixes.
The Dark Side of the Moon Immersion CD Box Set seems especially exciting to me and not that's not just it's my very favorite Pink Floyd LP but also because it has some really interesting bonus discs. Disc 2 has a complete live performance of this album in England in 1974! Disc 3 is a DVD which includes alternate surround sound mixes (5.1 & the Alan Parsons 1973 quad mix!), Disc 4 is a DVD which has live performances, concert screen films, and a 25 minute documentary about the recording of the album, Disc 5 is the material on DVD discs 3 and 4 on a bluray disc, and finally Disc 6 is a CD with additional unreleased demos, alternate takes, and live performances.
These Immersion box sets also include some fun extras like artwork booklets, ticket replicas, exclusive photo books, coasters, marbles, and a scarf!
