PINK FLOYD REMASTERS DELAYED

The release of six remastered and repackaged Pink Floyd albums originally scheduled for 23 September has been delayed until 21 October. No reason for the delay was stated by Columbia Records, but such delays are not uncommon.

The new releases will include remasters of "Wish You Were Here" (CK68522), "Animals" (CK68521), "The Wall" (CK68519), "The Final Cut" (CK68517), "A Collection of Great Dance Songs" (CK68520), and "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" (CK68518).

There remains some question whether "A Collection of Great Dance Songs" and "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" were actually remastered. However, since new catalog numbers have been assigned those albums, it is likely both will be repackaged, if not also remastered.
