You get the striking and iconic original Hipgnosis gatefold artwork (the famous equipment shot on the rear LP sleeve is repro'd on the last page of the booklet in near perfect quality), lyrics to all the songs (including live) and new band images from the period. PRF4 also has a tri-gatefold card sleeve, title sticker (on the shrink-warp) and although the colour booklet is still 16-pages long, it is newly laid out. So what's new (if anything)? The 2011 2CD set had specially commissioned artwork for the CDs (most of which I personally thought were meaningless rubbish images) - these 2016 replacements have swapped out those with a picture CD for each – usually always album artwork. Their fourth release, the half-live, half-studio November 1969 double-album "Ummagumma" is PFR4. The August 1967 debut album "The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" is PFR1, June 1968's second album "A Saucerful Of Secrets" is PFR2 while June 1969's Soundtrack From The Film "More" is PFR3 (all Stereo) and so on. These have been superseded by the 15 January 2016 'Pink Floyd Records' Reissues – in most cases featuring upgraded artwork but still using the 2011 Remaster.
CD-wise - what we have here is a reissue of a reissue.Ģ6 September 2011 saw the JAMES GUTHRIE and JOEL PLANTE CD Remasters of the Pink Floyd catalogue hit the shops to pretty much universal praise (they were transferred at Das Boot Studios and all single issues were known as 'Discovery Editions').
