The only packaging flaw is that it doesn’t match the decent boxes granted DSOT and AMLOR (and, given the cost, not including the CD is a kicker), but it is still a thing of beauty. Inside, there’s a reinforced card sleeve containing the discs and a sixty-page book, with a mix of familiar live images and less familiar concept art. It’s a nice touch and, while it’s currently driving my wife insane, the fanboy in me is simply delighted to have it pulsing away on the shelf once more. The first thing you’ll notice is that the blinking LED is back and this time it’s been constructed in a way that means the batteries can be removed or replaced without ripping the case to shreds. A far cry from the disappointing DVD release, which featured a shiny digipack destined to show every dent and ding, this beast comes in a hard-shell slipcase, bearing updated artwork. However, for the dedicated follower priced out of The Later Years, the question remains, is it worth the upgrade? The blu ray is currently forty pounds in the UK, potentially making it too pricey for the causal fan.
Restored and re-edited from the original tapes, this is the same version that graced the insanely pricey Later Years box set (the vast bulk of which has now been separately released), albeit with some spectacular packaging that sits somewhere between the 2006 DVD and the original, blinking light CD. And so finally, reassuringly expensive and packaged in a typically expansive set, Pink Floyd’s P.U.L.S.E.gets its long-awaited upgrade to HD.
