These often include rare and never-before-released tracks. Some box sets collect previously released singles or albums by a music artist, and often collect the complete discography of an artist, such as Pink Floyd's ''Oh, by the Way'' and ''Discovery (Pink Floyd box set), Discovery'' sets. Sometimes bands release expanded versions of their most successful albums, such as Pink Floyd's ''Immersion'' versions of their ''The Dark Side of the Moon'' (1973), ''Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd album), Wish You Were Here'' (1975) and ''The Wall'' (1979) boxes.
