Private Collections: Pink Floyd – Delicate Sound of Thunder
Cinelab Film & Digital provide film, tape and digital archive and restoration services for private collections, usually owned and often created by individuals, corporate entities and charities. 'Delicate Sound of Thunder' has been completely remastered and extended to 16 songs.
Filmed at Long Island’s Nassau Coliseum in August 1988 with some additional footage from June 1988 at the Place d'Armes of the Château de Versailles, France. This 2020 version is sourced directly from over 100 cans of original 35mm negatives, prepped, cleaned, all material rescanned in HD and graded for editing by Benny Trickett, under the creative direction of Aubrey Powell/Hipgnosis. Once edit completed, conform and final select take scans at 4K and 6K on Arriscan. Restoration as and where required. The sound was completely remixed from the original multitrack tapes by Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour, with longtime Pink Floyd engineer Andy Jackson, assisted by Damon Iddins.
