2007, the year of Pink Floyd's 40th anniversary, will come to a close with a spectacular flourish, Capitol/EMI's December 4 release of Oh By the Way, a limited edition box set which contains, for the first time ever, the band's 14 studio albums. These classic albums are presented on CD in mini vinyl wallets with all the original extras also miniaturized. Floyd's longtime design wizard, Storm Thorgerson, designed the unique box and miniaturized the original sleeve artwork.
This unique box set is the first time in Pink Floyd's incomparable history that all of the band's original studio albums have been packaged together and made available as a set. In addition to the albums and their extras, the set comes with a specially designed 40th Anniversary Storm Thorgerson fabric poster featuring 40 Floyd images.
