Following the release of The Early Years 1965-1972 box set in 2016, some keen Floyd fans noticed

issues with their discs and a replacement programme was enacted. Now, in 2019, fans are reporting similar issues, with Blu-ray discs bubbling and discolouring, in some cases leading to discs not playing.

The following has been emailed out to fans who have contacted Pink Floyd regarding this issue.

In 2016 our attention was drawn to a small batch of Blu-ray discs supplied for ‘The Early Years 1965-1972’, which had been subject to unreported transit damage, causing eventual discolouration and playing issues over time.

 

Now in 2019, we have been advised that a small quantity of the below discs have been affected:

 

CAMBRIDGE ST/ATION / 0190295929855 / PFREY1-BD

Thank you for your support of Pink Floyd, and please accept our apologies for the inconvenience that this may have caused.

If you are an owner of The Early Years box set I highly recommend you check your Blu-rays ASAP. Please note, this program only covers purchases from within the EU. US buyers are being advised to contact Sony Music.

Roger Waters, speaking to El Universal at The Venice Film Festival, confirmed that he plans to tour North America and Mexico in 2020.

In the interview, which followed the screening of the Us + Them concert film, Waters mentions Ciudad Juárez and Mexico City as possible tour stops. Waters also hopes for the Ciudad Juárez concert to be a free concert, similar to Zocalo on his 2016 tour.

We’ll post more details as they become available, so remember to check back with A Fleeting Glimpse regularly.

Another week, another preview from ‘The Later Years’ box set. Following on from the video of Wish You Were Here from Knebworth 1990, we get Comfortably Numb from the same show. It’s only audio this time around, but what lovely audio it is. A lot of work has gone in to this remastered mix, and it really shows.
