Following their acquisition of the Pink Floyd catalogue, Sony Music have today announced an excellent first release: Pink Floyd at Pompeii MCMLXXII – a newly restored version of the classic Live At Pompeii, with a superb new audio mix by Steven Wilson. It will mark the first time the music will be officially available on vinyl. Before the home release, the iconic performance will return to the cinema screen. This new version of the groundbreaking 1972 film directed by Adrian Maben will, thanks to Trafalgar Releasing and Sony Music Vision, be in selected cinemas and IMAX worldwide from April 24th and tickets will be on sale
from March 5th at PinkFloyd.film (https://www.pinkfloyd.film) and of course, from participating cinemas directly. Digitally re-mastered in 4K from the original 35mm footage, with enhanced audio newly mixed by Steven Wilson, the upcoming theatrical release presents the definitive version of this pioneering film. Pink Floyd at Pompeii MCMLXXII is accompanied by the live album, set for release by Legacy Recordings, the catalogue division of Sony Music, on double CD, Digital Audio (streaming, Blu-ray and DVD), and for the very first time in Dolby Atmos and on double vinyl, from May 2nd. Presenting a first look at the newly restored footage and audio, a taster clip of Echoes has been released today. Obviously, YouTube has limitations, and the full releases should look and sound even better! The film has been meticulously hand restored, frame-by-frame, from the original 35mm cut negative – discovered in five dubiously labelled cans within Pink Floyd’s own archives. This momentous breakthrough unearthed the very film that rolled through the cameras during those sweltering days amidst the ruins of Pompeii over 50 years ago. Led by Lana Topham, Director of Restoration for Pink Floyd, the team’s mission was to preserve the integrity and beauty of the original picture. The film was scanned in 4K using advanced techniques to ensure the finest, sharpest detail. Colours were enhanced, and every frame was meticulously reviewed and repaired, maintaining a natural and vivid appearance with minimal grain adjustments. Lana: “Since 1994, I have searched for the elusive film rushes of Pink Floyd At Pompeii, so the recent discovery of the 1972 original 35mm cut negative was a very special moment. The newly restored version presents the first full 90-minute cut, combining the 60-minute source edit of the performance with the additional Abbey Road Studios documentary segments filmed shortly after.” The film also features stunning sound quality with a new theatrical and home entertainment mix by Steven Wilson in 5.1 and Dolby Atmos that enhances the film’s depth and clarity, preserving the authenticity and spirit of the original 1972 release. Wilson’s aim was to remain faithful to how the band would have sounded on those scorching hot days in 1971: “Ever since my dad brainwashed me as a kid by playing The Dark Side of the Moon on repeat, Pink Floyd has been my favourite band. They are my “Beatles”, deeply ingrained in my musical DNA. I first saw Pompeii from a grainy print at a local cinema. It made an incredible impression on me with its untethered and exploratory rock music made by four musicians that seemed to epitomise the notion of intellectual cool. It was an honour to remix the soundtrack to accompany Lana Topham’s incredible restoration of the film, which looks like it could’ve been filmed yesterday.” Steven’s 2025 remix – either standalone, or as part of the film – will be available on CD/LP/Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital Audio/Dolby Atmos from May 2nd.
