Pink Floyd celebrate 40th anniversary with box set

The set will feature exclusive artwork and posters

Pink Floyd have revealed full details of their 40th anniversary box set, now titled ‘Oh By The Way’.

As previously reported, the box set will contain all of the band’s studio albums, although it is now known that each CD will be housed in a mini faux-vinyl sleeve.

The original extras will also be included, but in miniature form, specially reworked by long-term designer Storm Thorgerson.

For example, ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ now comes with two posters and two stickers, while its follow-up, ‘Wish You Were Here’, comes with an exclusive postcard.

The artist has also designed a deluxe box to contain the CDs.
