In 2011, the album was painstakingly remastered by James Guthrie (the sound engineer and co-producer of the original album) and Joel Plante, at das boot recording studio located in Lake Tahoe, California. Shortly after the album's twentieth anniversary, Capitol relaunched the 1997 edition in the United States in 2000 taking over the European remastering, and EMI did the same in Canada, Australia, South America and the United States. Then in 1997 the Columbia firm remastered the album, with better sound quality than EMI's, to be released in the United States, Canada, Australia, South America and Japan. The Wall was first remastered in 1994 in the UK by EMI.

A double album with a strong concept was released and was a massive success - more than thirty million copies sold. Based on this projection, he calls on Bob Ezrin (producer of Lou Reed, Alice Cooper, Kiss, etc.) to help him realize his project. In 1977, Roger Waters - singer, bassist, lyricist, composer and arranger of Pink Floyd - sketched on a sheet of paper a wall separating audience and musicians.
