The Early Years 1965–1972 is a compilation box set by Pink Floyd released on 11 November 2016. It was officially announced 28 July 2016. The set includes seven volumes with CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, vinyl, and memorabilia. It contains early non-album singles plus unreleased studio and live recordings. Volumes 1–6 will be available for individual sale in 2017, while Volume 7 Continu/ation will be exclusive to the box set. A two-disc compilation titled The Early Years – Cre/ation was also made available.[1]
On 5 November 2016, the official Pink Floyd Facebook page announced that the set would also include another extra disc—Live at Pompeii on CD. This was due to an error where the Pompeii CD had been placed inside the 1972: Obfusc/ation box instead of the 2016 mix of the Obscured by Clouds album. This meant that the Obscured by Clouds album had to be included separately in a plastic wallet; the reverse of the wallet states "Replacement CD disc for Obfusc/ation [...] (Stereo 2016 mix of Pink Floyd 'Live at Pompeii' CD supplied in error)"

Bonus CD: Live at Pompeii
On 5 November 2016 Pink Floyd announced, via their official Facebook page, that an extra CD would now be included in the set – Live at Pompeii.[3][4] The Pompeii performance has never been officially released on CD before. The Pompeii CD was accidentally included in the 1972:Obfusc/ation set instead of the 2016 mix of the Obscured by Clouds album. Therefore the 2016 Obscured by Clouds CD was included separately in a white slipcase;[4] on the front of which is written "Obscured by Clouds 2016 remix" and on the reverse: "Replacement CD disc for Obfusc/ation [...] (Stereo 2016 mix of Pink Floyd 'Live at Pompeii' CD supplied in error)".
- "Careful With That Axe, Eugene": 6:45
- "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun": 10:35
- "One of These Days": 5:50
- "A Saucerful of Secrets": 12:49
- "Echoes": 24:56
- "Careful With That Axe, Eugene" (Alternative Version): 6:06

Meddle 5.1
It has been discovered that the Meddle 5.1 album has been included in the set. This album was reported to have been pulled from inclusion for undisclosed reasons. The Meddle 5.1 is not accessible from the DVD/BD menu nor by any known "easter egg" method. It should be presumed then that instead of removing the album from the discs that only their link in the DVD/BD menu was removed to stop access to it. It is, however, discoverable by inserting the disc into a compatible computer and searching through the disc's contents files.
The album is as follows:
- Meddle 5.1 mix 2016 + Stereo 24 bits 96kHz – 46.49
- "One of These Days"
- "A Pillow of Winds"
- "Fearless"
- "San Tropez"
- "Seamus"
- "Echoes"
