PINK FLOYD
ATOM HEART MOTHER / HAKONE APHRODITE LIVE 1971
CD ALBUM + BLU-RAY
Pink Floyd’s first concert in Japan, at the Hakone Aphrodite
festival, will be released as a special 2-disc package in a 7-inch sleeve,
containing the “Atom Heart Mother” album on CD and a Blu-ray disc featuring
newly discovered video of the performance from over 50 years ago. The album
will be released on December 8. Originally only released in Japan in 2021, the
set contains some unique memorabilia – a special photo book containing many
rare, never-seen-before photos, reproductions of the pamphlet, the poster, the
concert ticket, and the flier distributed at the event.
The only Pink Floyd footage at Hakone Aphrodite that exists is
that of the 16-minute-long suite “Atom Heart Mother.” The details including
whereabouts of the master film and how it was shot had been a mystery for a
long time. However, after fifty years, the original 16mm film of this video was
discovered in a fan’s garage. The meticulous processes of digitizing, restoring
and remastering was undertaken and finally this enhanced video will be released
outside of Japan. Over 50 years ago, Japan’s first international outdoor rock
festival “Hakone Aphrodite” was held at a specially built venue beside Hakone
Ashinoko Lake on August 6th and 7th, 1971. Pink Floyd’s first ever concert
in Japan was as headliner for the festival.
Aspiring to be the Japanese Woodstock, The “Hakone Aphrodite” invited
many international artists and became the first rock festival experience for
many Japanese fans.
The set contains not only the original
live footage (with audio taken from the gig at Hakone Aphrodite), but also
behind-the-scenes footage of the band, travelling between the airport, the
hotel, the press conference, the bullet train, the show set-up, and, of course,
beautiful Japanese scenery.
