Pink Floyd are planning to release a special limited edition vinyl of their record ‘The Division Bell’.
The band are marking the 25th anniversary of their final studio album ‘The Division Bell’ with a limited edition double vinyl, which is coloured in a translucent blue to echo the original limited blue vinyl release in 1994.
‘The Division Bell’ was the last studio album to be recorded by band members David Gilmour, Nick Mason and the late Richard Wright, who passed away in 2008 after a battle with cancer.
After its release in 1994, the album debuted at number one in the UK, the USA, Australia, and New Zealand, and managed to climb to the top spot in six other countries.
In America, the record clung to the number one spot for four weeks, and to date, it has reached total album sales of over 12 million.
Speaking at the time, David Gilmour said of the record: "The three of us went into Britannia Row studios, and improvised for two weeks. 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."
The album features 11 tracks, including ‘Marooned’, which won the group a Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance, and ‘Keep Talking’, which features a sample of the late Stephen Hawking.
The special edition of ‘The Division Bell’ is available for pre-order now, and will be released on June 7 this year.
