Pink is available for the first time in a decade as a 20th Anniversary Reissue featuring the original CD sequence as a 2XLP for the first time ever, with an exclusive D side etching on the vinyl.  Additionally, Pink has a deluxe reissue box set with a limited edition 6XLP collection including 3 LP's worth of unreleased music.  The deluxe box set features the original vinyl version of Pink, expanded "Forbidden Tracks" from the Pink sessions, live material never before released on vinyl and previously unreleased rough mixes.

Boris' classic album dronevil is also available for the first time since its original release; two different albums of soaring ambient space and frenetic headbanging rock n' roll meant to be played at the same time.  This new edition is a joint 2XLP mix available for the very first time on vinyl and is titled dronevil - example -.
