Pink Floyd have released a new video for their track Childhood’s End, taken from 1972 album Obscured By Clouds.

The remixed version appears on The Early Years 1965-1972 box set, which arrives on November 11.

The band previously launched a video for Grantchester Meadows.

The 17-disc set includes 20 previously-unreleased tracks, seven hours of live material, 15 hours of video and three feature films. A double-disc highlights album entitled The Early Years – Cre/Ation will be released alongside the set.

Pink Floyd say the collection “will give collectors the opportunity to hear the evolution of the band and witness their part in cultural revolutions.”

They add: “From the single Arnold Layne to the 20-minute epic Echoes, fans will see the invention of psychedelic progressive rock via an insightful collection that explores the Pink Floyd story from the time Roger Waters, Richard Wright, Nick Mason and Syd Barrett met at London’s Regent Street Polytechnic, through to Syd’s departure and David Gilmour joining to form the iconic lineup.”
