A 2 CD set titled ‘The Early Years – CRE/ATION’ became available on Friday, November 11, the same day their deluxe 27-disc boxset release ‘The Early Years 1965-1972’ hits your download queue. Featuring 7 individual book-style packages and never before released material, this boxed set explores the evolution of the band and their part in cultural revolutions of the time. The material is culled from their earliest recordings and studio sessions in the years just prior to the release of ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’.

Last month they released a remixed version of ‘Childhood’s End,’ along with an accompanying video, in anticipation of the latest remaster and release of previously unheard material from their archives. The second side opener from ‘Obscured By Clouds’ is the last song with writing credits to David Gilmour, until 1987’s ‘Momentary Lapse Of Reason.’ This classic Obscured By Clouds song is newly remixed from the original master tapes by Andy Jackson & Damon Iddins in 2016. It shows some great behind the scenes footage of the band in studio, looking so young, lithe and truly collaborating.
