Pink Floyd announce compilation album 8-Tracks

Pink Floyd have announced a compilation album 8-Tracks, set to be released on June 5 via Sony Music.

8-Tracks features eight songs selected from the band's discography between 1971 and 1979, encompassing music from some of the English band's most successful and celebrated records.

The tracklist includes songs from Meddle (1971), Obscured by Clouds (1972), The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), and The Wall (1979).

The record features ‘Money’, ‘Wish You Were Here’, ‘Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2’, and ‘Time’.

Other tracks that were selected were ‘Comfortably Numb’, ‘One Of These Days’, Wot's... Uh The Deal’, as well as the exclusive full version of ‘Pigs On The Wing’, which had previously been available on the 1977 Animals eight-track cartridge release.

The track sequence was edited by rock musician and producer Steven Wilson, who remixed the audio for the 2025 release of Pink Floyd. Live At Pompeii - MCMLXXII.  The sequence is said to have been edited using sounds from the original multitracks to make for a continuous listening experience.

Pink Floyd's last studio album, The Endless River, was released in 2014 and was based on unreleased material from The Division Bell (1994) recording sessions.

In 2022, the rock band released the track ‘Hey, Hey, Rise Up’ in protest of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The new compilation album will be available on vinyl, CD, and digitally. You can pre-order 8-Tracks here.
