The Wall Immersion Boxset, was released 7 November 2011.
Originally released on 30 November 1979 by Harvest and Columbia Records.
It is a rock opera that explores Pink, a jaded rock star whose eventual self-imposed isolation from society forms a figurative wall.
The album was a commercial success, topping the US charts for 15 weeks and reaching number three in the UK.
It initially received mixed reviews from critics, many of whom found it overblown and pretentious, but later received accolades as one of the greatest albums of all time and one of the band’s finest works.
Bassist Roger Waters conceived The Wall during Pink Floyd‘s 1977 In The Flesh tour, modelling the character of Pink after himself and former bandmate Syd Barrett.
Recording spanned from December 1978 to November 1979. Producer Bob Ezrin helped to refine the concept and bridge tensions during recording, as the band members were struggling with personal and financial issues at the time.
The Wall was the last album to feature Pink Floyd as a quartet; keyboardist Richard Wright was fired by Waters during production but stayed on as a salaried musician.
In this new immersion edition, Pink Floyd The Wall: Immersion features the classic studio album digitally remastered and presented as a limited-edition, high quality boxset featuring rare and unreleased audio and video material, plus a new 44-page booklet, a book of original photographs, facsimile collectables and memorabilia such as marbles that someone can take away
