im currently listening to the wall on amazon prime music, i thought it was a glitch for a second, it was saying ultra hd when i listened to it yesterday it was HD so this was JUST released.
I just purchased The Wall from HDTracks. The PDF booklet states the 2011 remaster, but has a copyright date of 2016. foobar2000 1.6.1 / Dynamic Range Meter 1.1.1 log date: 2021-10-18 21:29:38 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Analyzed: Pink Floyd / The Wall -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DR Peak RMS Duration Track -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DR12 -1.39 dB -17.25 dB 3:19 01-In the Flesh?

It’s crazy that this just came out of the blue like this on a Monday night but I’m not going to question it.
Has anyone found the high res version of Pulse on Qobuz? I've found all the other releases, but on the CD version of PULSE.
So which of these are newly available in Hi Res? I think we already had DSOTM and WYWH. And the Gilmour years. Was the Wall in hi res on the box? (Obviously I don't have that one). The one I am most excited about is Animals. But hey I have Amazon HD so I can just click a button and there they are....
Apple Music is streaming the hi-res versions now as well. ETA: 24/192 of Pulse is on Apple Music as well.
The wall, pulse, the final cut, animals, a collection of great dance songs (i like this version of money a lot) are all new Hi Res DSOTM, WYWH were only high res on SACD or immersion BDs.
What a treat of a surprise on a Monday! Listening to Piper in high-res sounds great on Apple Music, but, I no longer have the 2011 CDs to compare, so, I'm not going to make any grand declarations as of yet. More listening required.
true! i can't find any word on this by Pink Floyd, maybe tomorrow we will get news about why it was so random

I would give Qobuz a day or two to catch up. I'm sure they will sell all the PF and Gilmour releases that HDtracks just added.
First complain… The tracks on DSOTM and The Wall are available as 96/24 whereas the same tracks on the A Foot in the Door: The Best of Pink Floyd collection are 192/24.
I don't have the fancy pants SACDs on DSotM or WYWH, though, I'd imagine they were native 24/88. Interesting to see them both at 24/96 and/or 24/192 In any case, the few songs I've listed to on The Wall sounded great, and WYWH title track sounds absolutely fantastic. Gonna be a long day of listening tomorrow. Anyone have any sugar cubes they'd care to run by??
