Pink Floyd return to top of UK album charts with 1972 Pompeii concert recording
Prog rockers score seventh No 1 album with recording of Italian gig, extending their chart run following final studio album The Endless River in 2014
The album captures the gig that was documented by director Adrian Maben for one of rock’s most arresting concert films, which has been restored to 4K quality and rereleased in cinemas, including in Imax format. A recording of the gig was previously included as part of a larger Pink Floyd box set, but this is the first standalone version, featuring a new sound mix helmed by prog rock musician Steven Wilson. Surprisingly, Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII isn’t the only new entry on this week’s chart from a British band performing amid the ruins of classical antiquity.
