Pink Floyd × We Are Rewind Release Limited-Edition Dark Side of the Moon Cassette Player

French audio company We Are Rewind has launched a Pink Floyd-branded version of its WE-001 portable cassette player. Housed in an aluminium chassis with metal buttons, the unit offers Bluetooth 5.1, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, line-in recording, a rechargeable battery rated for up to 12 hours of playback, and an optional belt-clip. The company says the player is “optimised for 2026 with true hi-fi sound” and includes a bespoke headphone amplifier tuned for cassette playback. Each box contains a newly remastered cassette of the 2023 50th-anniversary mix of *The Dark Side of the Moon*—the first time this version has been issued on tape. Pricing is £159 in the United Kingdom, €179 in Europe, and $199 in the United States, with a numbered authenticity card included.

We Are Rewind has positioned itself as a champion of cassette culture, previously issuing limited editions for Duran Duran, Elvis Presley, and Fortnite. The partnership arrives amid a broader analog resurgence: UK cassette sales rose 53 % year-on-year in 2025, driven largely by Gen Z collectors seeking tactile music experiences. Historically, *The Dark Side of the Moon* was a strong cassette seller, contributing significantly to the album’s 50 million-unit total.

The release underscores a consumer desire for physical media that demands intentional listening, contrasting with algorithm-driven streaming. By pairing a classic progressive-rock album with updated hardware, the collaboration aims to preserve “the physical album experience” while appealing to collectors and audiophiles.

Some observers caution that nostalgia-driven products may face environmental scrutiny due to plastic use and limited practicality compared with digital libraries. Critics also note that while the device supports other albums, its premium price positions it more as a collector’s item than everyday audio gear.
