Pink Floyd - The Story of Wish You Were Here Blu-rayDetails of the "Pink Floyd: The Story Of Wish You Were Here" blu-ray and DVD have just been revealed. Released by Eagle Vision HD, the title is coming out on both formats on June 25th in the UK, and June 26th in North America. Other areas should follow suit around those dates.

With a quoted runtime of 85 minutes, this programme tells the story of the making of this landmark release through new interviews with Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason and archive interviews with the late Richard Wright. Also featured are sleeve designer Storm Thorgerson, guest vocalist Roy Harper, front cover burning man Ronnie Rondell and others involved in the creation of the album. In addition, original recording engineer Brian Humphries revisits the master tapes at Abbey Road Studios to illustrate aspects of the songs construction. On the blu-ray the sound is presented in DTS-HD Master Audio, and LPCM stereo. Subtitles have been included on the disc in English, French, German, and Spanish.

For those fortunate enough to have seen the show already (it has been aired in the US) they will know that it is a fascinating look at the album, akin to Eagle's work on The Dark Side Of The Moon a few years ago. For those yet to see it, you are in for a treat!

Hi Tim, any idea if it happens to actually include the album itself? Now that would be interesting :)

No idea Mark, I only know the info below which was on the Brain Damage website. But as it's only 85 minutes long, I would guess no.

Nice one... sounds like 'Classic Albums - Dark Side Of The Moon', which was a treat for fanatics wanting 'new stuff' on the old...

That's a shame :( The audio on BD is something to behold. Or it certainly can be if done right :)
