    EMI: Unreleased Pink Floyd Tracks Set For September 2011 Release




    EMI to Release Original Unheard Pink Floyd Tracks


    According to Reuters, EMI plans to release a bevy of unheard songs by Pink Floyd beginning in September.


    The tracks will be unearthed from archives as part of a multi-month schedule of releases, which will include collectors' box sets and re-mastered studio recordings.


    The band originally signed to EMI four decades ago, but in recent years has litigated their former label over the rights to “unbundle” their albums in order to sell individual tracks online. The English rockers won that battle last fall culminating in a new five-year deal.


    "We have worked together for more than a year on this program which incorporates all the elements that have made Pink Floyd one of the most inspiring forces in modern music," Roger Faxon, EMI chief executive, said in a statement.


    Pink Floyd are most famous for influential and acclaimed albums 1973’s The Dark Side of the Moon, 1975’s Wish You Were Here and 1979’s epic double-whammy, The Wall.


    According to EMI, Pink Floyd has sold over 200 million albums worldwide, and in the United States alone, The Dark Side of the Moon has sold 45 million copies and is the America’s third best-selling album ever. In 1996, the band was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
