PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN!

It's been 40 years since it's release and I read this today over at Fleeting Glimpse.

"Piper Confirmed! We are very happy to tell you that EMI have just issued a press release about the upcoming Piper At The Gates Of Dawn re-release. Release date is scheduled for 3 September 2007 and will be a Deluxe 3 CD set, in a DVD sized hardback book format with a reproduction of a previously unseen Syd Barrett notebook. There will be a Stereo disc, mono disc version of the album (different takes of the tracks), and a 3rd disc of all 1967 singles and B sides, plus unreleased edits of 2 tracks (TBC), all in sequence. All music remastered by James Guthrie. A 2 CD standard version of the stereo and mono discs, but without booklet and singles disc, will also be released in a brilliant box and will be priced at deluxe 1 CD price."

So yeah, one of my favourite Floyd albums is finally getting the treatment it deserves. Not that I don't love Dark Side, mind you, but how many times can it be remastered and repackaged and re-released?
