8-Tracks

From PinkFloyd.com, 8th April 2026:
"A new official Pink Floyd compilation project titled 8-Tracks, featuring eight essential classics selected from the band’s 1971 – 1979 era, will be released on 5th June via Sony Music. The album is available to pre-order on vinyl, CD and digitally here.
The tracklist includes the instantly recognisable songs ‘Money’, ‘Wish You Were Here’, ‘Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2’, ‘Time’ and ‘Comfortably Numb’, alongside earlier cuts in ‘One Of These Days’ and ‘Wot’s… Uh The Deal’, as well as an exclusive full version of ‘Pigs On The Wing’, previously available on the 1977 Animals 8-track cartridge release. The track sequence has been edited by Steven Wilson using sound effects sourced from the original multitracks to make for a continuous listening experience in classic Floydian style.
8-Tracks documents the full measure of Pink Floyd’s transition into their breakthrough era, propelled into superstardom throughout the 1970s. The eight-year period this special release celebrates encompasses music from some of the band’s most successful and celebrated records ever. 1971’s Meddle, 1972’s Obscured by Clouds, 1973’s The Dark Side of the Moon, 1975’s Wish You Were Here, 1977’s Animals and 1979’s The Wall. Six monumental, classic albums in their own right. Collectively, it’s a body of work that sees Pink Floyd shifting far beyond the early psychedelic pop Syd Barrett era and their post-experimental output, cementing their global status as one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
8-Tracks offers a brilliant insight into this incredible period of creativity. A starting point for new listeners to discover the depth and breadth of Pink Floyd’s peerless album catalogue, as well as a carefully curated collection for longtime fans to appreciate.
The 2026 announcement of 8-Tracks follows a remarkable 12 months for Pink Floyd. The 50th anniversary release of Wish You Were Here became a Top 10 charting album across the world, signalling Pink Floyd’s second #1 release of 2025 in the UK, Germany, Italy and Switzerland, 50 years after it first topped the chart. Seven months prior, the cinematic release of Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII became a Top 10 Box Office hit, and the accompanying soundtrack album earned the band’s first UK #1 album since 2014’s The Endless River – their final studio LP.
