The set will feature exclusive artwork and posters

Pink Floyd have revealed full details of their 40th anniversary box set, now titled ‘Oh By The Way’.

As previously reported, the box set will contain all of the band’s studio albums, although it is now known that each CD will be housed in a mini faux-vinyl sleeve.

The original extras will also be included, but in miniature form, specially reworked by long-term designer Storm Thorgerson.

For example, ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ now comes with two posters and two stickers, while its follow-up, ‘Wish You Were Here’, comes with an exclusive postcard.

The artist has also designed a deluxe box to contain the CDs.

The albums and their extras included are as follows:

‘The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn’ (1967, single wallet)
‘A Saucerful Of Secrets’ (1968, single wallet)
‘Music From The Film More’ (1969, single wallet)
‘Ummagumma’ (1969, gatefold wallet, 2 discs)
‘Atom Heart Mother’ (1970, gatefold)
‘Meddle’ (1971, gatefold)
‘Obscured By Clouds’ (1972, single wallet with rounded corners)
‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ (1973, gatefold wallet with 2 posters and 2 stickers)
‘Wish You Were Here’ (1975, single with liner, postcard and black shrinkwrap)
‘Animals’ (1977, gatefold)
‘The Wall’ (1979, gatefold, 2 discs)
‘The Final Cut’ (1983, single wallet)
‘A Momentary Lapse Of Reason’ (1987, gatefold)
‘The Division Bell’ (1994, gatefold)
