In honor of so much piggish behavior recently dominating the public sphere — and, oh, also in honor of the original album’s 50th anniversary — Sony Music will release “Animals 50,” a nine-disc deluxe boxed set focusing on Pink Floyd‘s 1977 “Animals” album, along with slimmed-down editions available in various formats. All of the releases are due to come out Jan. 22, 2027.

The deluxe version includes five CDs, plus three LPs which repeats some of the same material in vinyl format, and a Blu-Ray that also features some of that same material along with 5.1 and Atmos mixes. A digital version of the box’s contents will also be up for sale. The Blu-Ray component of the boxed set will be available for separate purchase, as will two-CD and two-LP editions that pair the original album with a rarities disc.
