The legendary Pink Floyd 1971 live performance at the Pompeii ruins is revived with the highest sound quality ever. Featuring a new remix by Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree), this definitive edition is released as 2CD and 2LP sets.
With newly designed artwork, this release represents the ultimate and final version of the iconic concert. Recorded in October 1971 at the World Heritage Site Pompeii Amphitheatre in Italy, this unique audience-free performance has long been a favorite among Pink Floyd fans. (Note: the English title “MCMLXXII” refers to the Roman numeral for 1972.)
Both the 2CD and 2LP editions include “Careful With That Axe, Eugene” (Alternate Take) and “A Saucerful of Secrets” (Long Version). This marks the first time the Pompeii performance has ever been released on vinyl, making it a historic and collectible item.
