PINK FLOYD ‘Immersion’ and ‘Experience’ editions of ‘The Wall’ including original demos and work-in-progress versions Released: 24 February 2012.
On 27 February 2012, EMI will release ‘Immersion’ and ‘Experience’ editions of Roger Waters’ opus, Pink Floyd ‘The Wall’, as the final instalment of the recent ‘Why Pink Floyd?’ re- issues and extended releases. ‘The Wall’ remains Pink Floyd’s biggest-selling release after 1973’s legendary ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’.
Released in November ’79, ‘The Wall’ topped the album charts in the US, France, Germany, Sweden and Australia. ‘Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2’ – Pink Floyd’s first UK single since 1968 – became a Number 1 hit, selling over a million copies within weeks of its release.
Between 1980 and 1981, Pink Floyd staged 31 performances of The Wall in the US, UK and Germany. It was a spectacular show that included a 40-ft wall, constructed, brick by brick, across the front of the stage during the performance. In 2010 and 2011 Roger Waters toured a new production of The Wall to huge International acclaim. He was joined on stage in May 2011 at London’s 02 Arena by guitarist, David Gilmour and drummer, Nick Mason.
Roger Waters brings The Wall Live tour to Australia later this month, playing multiple shows in Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.
