Pink Floyd - "Animals" 5.1 Surround Sound Mix (Blu-Ray & SACD editions out in September 2022!)

Sadly there is

Thanks for sharing this. Having watched Roger's video on the subject, I had a slightly different read on it. It seemed like Roger wanted Rick and Syd's estates to have a vote, and that's what was vetoed.

Does anyone know what the current arrangement is supposed to be? One thought is that all three have to agree for anything to happen with the pre-1987 material. The other is that it's a majority vote of the living current and former band members. If ol' Rog wants Rick and Syd's estates to have a vote, is that a change to the actual contract?

but I also have Animals 5.1 boot which is awesome

The official version better be really good to beat that one, maybe that's what they're worried about. LOL

I couldn’t have stated that any better!!

It's a shame they are all so rich, I'm sure if they were down to their last couple of million they'd soon agree to release these titles.

I'm guessing no news on this even now? Animals has been one of my favorite albums long enough that I could justify this.

What's the name of the multi channel bootleg if it's not a violation to ask?

It’s a violation for even thinking about it

I feel violated for the unfulfilled want of it....

A bit of Animals related history from the Floyd's Facebook page:

In France, a number of special promotional record bins, holding around 100 copies of Animals, were created. To help promote the album release, here's a drift of these pigs in a small French town....

Yep, there's been three days in a row activity in Facebook around Animals anniversary release. Most likely it means nothing and we'll end up this year with Pulse or Venice or whatever from The Last Year having a standalone release.

FYI, it means something to those who remember counting down the days until it was finally released.

Which was sometime January 1977 in the UK, as I went out bought the LP and went back to my student house and listened to it with my housemates.

Thanks for the thread, I had not listened to it since it came out, it's always fun to listen to things 35 years later.

For me, it was March 1977. I remember it very well because my girlfriend at the time got a kick out of the animal noises. Still one of my Floyd favorites.

To Quote Roger [dated May 31, 2021]:

I am agreeing to the release of the new Animals remix, with the sleeve notes removed. Good work James Guthrie by the way, and sorry Mark Blake. The final draft of the liner notes was fact checked and agreed as factually correct by me, Nick and Gilmour. Here they are, enjoy, there’s nothing controversial, just a few simple facts.

 

[J. PUPSTER]

"What precipitated this note is that there are new James Guthrie Stereo and 5.1 mixes of the Pink Floyd album Animals, 1977."
