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 records, and memorabilia. It contains early non-album singles plus unreleased studio and live recordings. Although Volumes 1-6 have been available individually since March 24th 2017, Volume 7, Continu/ation, remains exclusive to the set. A two-disc compilation titled The Early Years – Cre/ation was also made available.

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)"
