OUT NOW - published March 31st, 2008:
Pink Floyd - Rex Collections

A new, 160-page hardback book by Marcus Hearn, through publishers Reynolds & Hearn, called "Pink Floyd - Rex Collections".

A hotly anticipated compilation of the best Pink Floyd pictures from the Rex Features archives, the first edition being limited to 1000 copies.

We were naturally quite curious as to how much of Rex's archives were used. Marcus told us: "The project involved quite a lot of archaeology in Rex's archive. The contents are arranged chronologically from 1967 to 2007, and include some familiar pictures and quite a few which I don't think have been in print before.

"Almost everything from the pre digital age (ie everything prior to the Live 8 reunion) has been specially scanned and restored. I'm confident that the book represents the best of the Pink Floyd group material held in Rex's archive."

ORDERING INFO: You can order the international, English language edition from all branches of Amazon through these links: Amazon US/International, Canada, UK/Europe, France, or Germany. As a reminder, all Amazon orders placed after entering their sites using our special links, costs you nothing extra, helps with the running costs of this site, and we really appreciate it!

Wish You Were Here SACD (Super Audio CD)

One of the most anticipated releases, that is still not on a confirmed release footing, is the Super Audio CD (SACD) of Wish You Were Here. This has been promised for some time, and indeed, in Storm Thorgerson's latest edition of Mind Over Matter, he showcases the artwork for the release which he states "is due in February 2008". However, this date is NOT confirmed, and this is the latest information we have on this. As we get further information on this, we will update this page.
