Pink Floyd's 1979 "The Wall" often makes lists of the greatest albums ever, with the double-length work creating a rock opera that delves into the theme of personal isolation. The box set - which also includes seven accompanying books, of which six will go on sale separately in 2017 - does not cover the peak of Pink Floyd's fame.ġ973's "The Dark Side of the Moon," inspired in part by Barrett's mental health issues, remains one of the top-selling albums of all time with around 45 million sold worldwide. The band, led by David Gilmour, in 2014 released what it said would be its final album, "The Endless River." Waters left the band amid acrimony in 1985 and has repeatedly said he has nothing more to do with Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd manager Peter Jenner has said that bassist Roger Waters resisted releasing the song, seeing it as too dark and unfinished, like a "psychological flashing" from Barrett.
Pink Floyd never released "Vegetable Man" but the song has persevered both in bootlegs and cover versions, including one by Scottish noise rockers The Jesus and Mary Chain. The 1967 song was written by founding member Syd Barrett, who left the band soon afterward as he struggled with mental illness. The box set will include more than 20 songs that have not been previously released, although many have appeared as bootlegs as the band frequently played obscure material in concert.Īmong the tracks is "Vegetable Man," marked by an abrasive psychedelic sound. "The Early Years - 1965-1972," which will go on sale November 11, will feature 27 CDs that cover rare outtakes and live performances as the English band made its name, Sony Legacy Records announced.
