Sony Music have today announced an excellent follow-up to the release last year of Pink Floyd at Pompeii MCMLXXII, which was a newly restored version of the classic Live At Pompeii, with a superb new audio mix by Steven Wilson.

With the film digitally re-mastered in 4K from the original 35mm footage, with enhanced audio newly mixed by Steven Wilson, it was released on double CD, Digital Audio (streaming, Blu-ray and DVD), and for the very first time in Dolby Atmos and on double vinyl. However, the one missing part of the puzzle was a physical 4K, Ultra HD/UHD release of this incredible film. Next month, that missing part of the puzzle falls into place, with a release on this format on February 27th.

As a reminder, the film was 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 55 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.

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.
