A CLASSIC Pink Floyd album has topped the charts, 25 years after it was released.

The band, fronted by David Gilmour, left, have hit number one on the vinyl album charts with the reissue of 1994’s The Division Bell. 

A special edition of the vinyl album was released last week. The double translucent blue vinyl marks the 25th anniversary of the initial release. 

The Division Bell was the last original Pink Floyd record to feature the trio of David Gilmour, who has a home in Hove, Nick Mason and Richard Wright.

It was also only the second album not to feature original member Roger Waters.

The album artwork, designed by long-time band collaborator Storm Thorgerson, features two heads facing each other.

With hit songs like What Do You Want From Me and High Hopes, the album proved popular on its initial release, charting at number one in the UK charts as well as in 12 other countries across the world. 

This time around The Division Bell proved its enduring popularity as it beat the new Divine Comedy record, Office Politics, and a reissue of Nirvana’s classic 1991 album Nevermind to claim the top spot in the vinyl album charts.

At the time of the album’s initial release singer and guitarist David Gilmour said that the experience recording felt “collaborative and more cohesive”.
