November 30, 1997 FLOYD U.S. REMASTERS SCHEDULED FOR MID-DECEMBER RELEASE The United States release of six remastered and repackaged Pink Floyd albums has been rescheduled for 16 December. The remasters have faced a series of delays, so the 16 December date should not necessarily be considered firm. No reason for the delays has been stated by Columbia Records. 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). An advertisement for the six remasters has been published in several manazines, incluing Tower Records' free publication, "Pulse." The ad features a giant padded chair, over four times taller than a person, standing in a pasture. Several women stand in the field, along with cows resembling the cow from the cover of "Atom Heart Mother." Three anonymous men stand high up on the cushions of the chair. From Tower Records' Pulse magazine advertising six Pink Floyd remasters in the U.S. In September 1997, Pulse, the in-house free magazine of Tower Records, published an advertisement for six new Pink Floyd CD remasters. The page advertises the U.S. remasters of Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall, A Collection of Great Dance Songs, The Final Cut and A Momentary Lapse of Reason. The ad depicts a giant cushioned chair whose fabric is printed with designs symbolic of Pink Floyd's past albums. The chair stands in a rolling, green field. To the left are two women in summery dresses and two cows which resemble Lulabelle on the cover of Atom Heart Mother. To the right, another women is in the distance. Three men (unidentified at this point) stand on the giant chair, about five meters from the ground. It is unknown whether this is an image by Storm Thorgerson. The text reads: PINK FLOYD Celebrate the music of Pink Floyd with six 30th Anniversary Edition CDs. Repackaged with all the original album artwork plus bonus Anniversary Edition photos. Newly re-mastered under the band's personal supervision for spectacular sound. Also available: The Division Bell, Delicate Sound of Thunder & Pulse The full-size ad image ©1997 Dave Ward
