Beatles, Pink Floyd And Led Zeppelin Dig Deep Into Archives To Release New Recordings

Forbes reports:
The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin are all digging into their archives over the next few months as record companies boost the money-making potential of 1960s recordings.

Fans get a wealth of remastered, remixed and sometimes previously unheard material – sometimes at a hefty price.

The contribution by the Beatles will be the best recording yet of the historic 1964 and 1965 shows at the Hollywood Bowl – remastered, remixed and with four unreleased tracks. Pink Floyd has announced an even more spectacular box set of 27 discs of material recorded between 1965 and 1972, with seven hours of it previously unreleased. The cost is about $700. The Led Zeppelin set is an expansion of the sessions done for the U.K.’s British Broadcasting Corporation between 1969 and 1971 with eight new songs.
