Pigs on the Wing: Pink Floyd Reissue “Animals” with Long-Awaited Surround Remix

June 30, 2022 by Joe Marchese | 8 Comments

Pink Floyd’s Animals arrived in January 1977, after 1975’s Wish You Were Here and before 1979’s The Wall. Coming between those two epochal works, Animals was initially dismissed by some critics.

This fall, fans will have a chance to rediscover Animals as its long-awaited 5.1 surround sound mix is released…
