Just announced: Pink Floyd are releasing a new San Tropez Orange Marble vinyl edition of their landmark 1971 album Meddle, for this year's National Album Day, via Sony Music. It will be in stores/online from October 17th, 2026 while stocks last, and ordering links are below.

National Album Day is an annual celebration in the UK, with this year's theme celebrating music "Icons" – encompassing legendary, cultural and contemporary artists and recordings.

A pivotal moment in the band's development, Meddle was the sixth studio album by the British rock group, originally released in 1971. Produced between touring commitments and widely regarded as a notable progression from their previous work, the band devised a series of novel recording and writing experiments, which also inspired the album's signature track, Echoes.

Echoes immediately became an enduring fan favourite, regularly played live during the busy five year period of 1971 - 1975, and featured heavily in Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii, with the song split into two halves, to bookend the movie. Echoes was resurrected at the start of the 1987 A Momentary Lapse Of Reason tour for the first eleven shows that year, then for David Gilmour's 2006 On An Island tour Echoes closed the main set of each show. Sixteen years later, Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets added Echoes to their set to much acclaim. Echoes is seen as one of the key musical pieces from the band's earlier period, with Meddle a key, essential album. The man behind the Saucers concept - Lee Harris - is performing Meddle in full next March in a set of three gigs at the Half Moon in Putney, London, with fellow Saucer Dom Beken, along with Yaron Stavi and Ged Lynch.

Alongside this, it's also been announced that a newly restored high-resolution version of the iconic Echoes sequence from cult-classic 1973 surf film Crystal Voyager will be available via Pink Floyd's YouTube channel on the same date, October 17th.

ORDERING INFORMATION: As this is a UK-only limited edition release, you can order it from Rough Trade, HMV.com will be listing it (although not live yet at time of writing), and potentially Amazon UK, as well as other participating UK record stores. It is possible that retailers in other countries may have stock but this doesn't normally happen with these releases.
