Roger Waters: Pink Floyd’s ‘Animals’ will be reissued in 5.1 surround sound

My favorite…can’t wait to grab this one…

Roger Waters has confirmed that a 5.1 surround sound mix of Pink Floyd‘s 1977 album Animals is being prepared for release.

In an interview with Dutch radio station NPO Radio 2, Waters briefly mentions the artwork for Wish You Were Here before telling the host: “I’ve just been working with Po [Aubrey Powell]. There’s a reissue of Animals, I think, a 5.1 remix of Animals, and so he came up with some new photographs of Battersea Power Station, as it is now, to use as a CD cover for the new 5.1 mix. It’s beautiful”

Awesome! I wonder if they’ll do an Immersion Set for it, like they did WYWH, DSOTM & The Wall.

I’m not sure how much material there is for that since “Raving & Drooling” and “Gotta Be Crazy” were already included with the WYWH one. I guess they could put in some live recordings and the “Pigs On The Wing” guitar solo from the 8-track version.
