Pink Floyd<\/strong> will release a boxset edition of its 1994 album “The Division Bell”<\/strong> to commemorate the album’s 20th anniversary.<\/p>\n

It’s scheduled for release June 30.<\/p>\n

The boxset will feature a new 2-LP vinyl edition of the album, remastered by Doug Sax<\/strong> at The Mastering Lab from the original analogue tapes, including all the full length tracks (originally edited to fit on a single LP) in a gatefold sleeve designed by Hipgnosis\/StormStudios<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Five other discs are included: a red 7-inch vinyl replica of the single “Take It Back,” a clear 7-inch vinyl replica of “High Hopes,” 12-inch blue vinyl replica of “High Hopes” with reverse laser etched design, the 2011 Discovery remaster of “The Division Bell,” and a Blu-ray disc including “The Division Bell” in HD Audio, plus the previously unreleased 5.1 surround sound audio mix of the album by longtime Floyd engineer Andy Jackson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Another addition included on the Blu-ray disc is a new video for the Grammy award-winning instrumental “Marooned.” Filmed in Ukraine during the first week of April 2014, the video was directed by Aubrey Powell<\/strong> of Hipgnosis. It’ll appear on the disc with audio tracks in PCM Stereo and a 5.1 mix by Jackson.<\/p>\n

“The Division Bell\u2019 debuted at #1 in the U.K. and in the USA, staying at the top of the U.S. charts for four weeks. It also went to #1 in eight other countries and, to date, has reached total album sales of more than 12 million. The album was recorded by the band at Astoria and Britannia Row Studios with the majority of the lyrics being written by David Gilmour<\/strong> and his wife, Polly Samson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Gilmour said at the time: \u201cThe three of us went into Britannia Row studios, and improvised for two weeks.\u00a0 Playing together and starting from scratch was interesting and exciting, it kick started the album and the process was very good, it was collaborative and felt more cohesive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bob Ezrin<\/strong> and Gilmour produced the original album, with orchestral arrangements by the late Michael Kamen<\/strong>. The anniversary box set discs have been remastered by long term Pink Floyd audio associates James Guthrie<\/strong> and Joel Plante<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
