Pink Floyd - Discovery Box Set: The Complete Studio Recordings

Box set, Original recording remastered, Limited Edition


Editorial Reviews

Since 1967 Pink Floyd have produced one of the most outstanding and enduring catalogues in the history of recorded music. All 14 original Studio albums have now been painstakingly digitally remastered by James Guthrie (co-producer of The Wall), and are reissued with newly crafted packaging and booklets created by the band’s long-time artwork collaborator Storm Thorgerson.
