This limited-edition release, encased in a 7-inch sleeve, lays bare Pink Floyd's groundbreaking performance, featuring the Atom Heart Mother album and a newly discovered Blu-ray disc containing footage from over 50 years ago. Originally exclusive to Japan in 2021, this set is a collector's dream, offering a treasure trove of memorabilia. Inside, fans will find a special photo book brimming with rare and never-seen-before images, reproductions of the pamphlet, the poster, the concert ticket, and the flyer distributed at the event. It's a comprehensive package that goes beyond the music, capturing the essence of that momentous occasion.

The real gem here is the footage of Pink Floyd's performance of the 16-minute-long suite "Atom Heart Mother" at Hakone Aphrodite. For decades, the details surrounding the master film's whereabouts and its creation remained shrouded in mystery. However, the rock gods smiled upon fans when, after fifty years, the original 16mm film was discovered in a fan's garage. The diligent processes of digitizing, restoring, and remastering have breathed new life into this piece of music history, and now the enhanced video is making its debut outside of Japan.

Hakone Aphrodite, Japan's first international outdoor rock festival, aimed to be the Japanese Woodstock. Taking place beside Hakone Ashinoko Lake, the festival on August 6th and 7th, 1971, welcomed many international artists, including Pink Floyd as the headliner. For Japanese fans, it was a transformative experience, their first taste of a rock festival on par with the iconic Woodstock.

The set not only features the original live footage with audio from the Hakone Aphrodite gig but also provides a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into Pink Floyd's journey – from the airport to the hotel, the press conference, the bullet train, the show set-up, and the breathtaking Japanese scenery. At that pivotal moment, the band had just released Atom Heart Mother and was gearing up for the November 1971 release of Meddle. As the festival's final act, they mesmerized the audience with not just "Atom Heart Mother" but also other timeless classics like "Careful With That Axe, Eugene," "A Saucerful Of Secrets," and "Echoes" from the yet-to-be-released Meddle. While official footage of these songs remains elusive, the band's mystical performance, enhanced by nature's atmospheric effects of fog emerging from the lake, became legendary.

For this groundbreaking show, Pink Floyd deployed massive PA systems, a rarity in Japan at the time, influencing the country's audio and stage production for years to come. The Hakone Aphrodite festival marked not just a historic concert for Pink Floyd but also a seismic moment in Japanese music history. Now, with this carefully curated release, fans can relive the magic and witness the genesis of Pink Floyd's influence on the global music landscape.
