The new issue of the UK's Classic Rock Magazine hit the stores today, with subscribers having received their copies late last week. The publication (issue 162, cover date September 2011) comes sealed in a clear plastic wrap, which interestingly has most of the cover strap lines printed on it (rather than on the cover itself).

The magazine includes a large feature on AC/DC, and a look at Queen's legendary Halloween party in New Orleans, 1978...however, the main draw for Pink Floyd fans is a special 24-page supplement dedicated to The Dark Side Of The Moon and Wish You Were Here.

This is a very nicely illustrated (with Jill Furmanovsky's excellent photos) look at both albums, written by Glenn Povey, author of Echoes and founder of Brain Damage Magazine, and reveals the fascinating story behind each album. Apart from the quality of the writing, some of the pictures are wonderful and new to us - hopefully a taster of what is to come with the upcoming releases starting next month.

Finally, within the supplement, is an advert for an upcoming "Classic Rock Prog presents..." focusing on Meddle. This particular magazine is due to hit UK stores on August 31st.

Classic Rock (and the CR Prog offshoot) is available across the UK, and worldwide via the retail arm of their publishers.

A third night has been quickly added to the Argentinian stint of Roger Waters' tour of The Wall next year, positioned on the calendar in an intriguing way. With the other two dates at the Estadio River Plate in Buenos Aires being March 7th and 9th, it seems a little odd to stage a third on March 12th...

Tickets will go on sale on Friday, August 19th, from the ticket agents Livepass.com.ar. We know that many of you have had problems even getting on to the Livepass website, let alone actually getting tickets, although their website does seem to be working a little better now. From comments made by fans on Roger's Facebook page, if you remain patient and keep trying, eventually (hopefully) you'll get some tickets. It has been taking some people many hours of persistence so we hope that things will run a little smoother on Friday.

Having performed it at a couple of festivals last month, Guy Pratt is bringing his highly acclaimed stand-up show, "Guy Pratt's Wake Up Call", to Scottish audiences this month. He will be performing at the Gilded Balloon as part of the Edinburgh Festival, between August 19th and 29th. The show takes place at 5:15pm each day, and tickets, at just £10 each, can be bought online through this link now.

Coinciding nicely, you can now not only get his hilarious book, "My Bass And Other Animals" in Kindle format, you can take it really easy and hear Guy himself reading the whole thing. The unabridged audiobook is playable on your computer, on your iPod or other MP3 player, and can even be burnt onto CD. It is now available to download from Audible UK. The book, which we highly recommend, is a no-holds barred, warts'n'all look at his career working with such luminaries as Madonna, Bryan Ferry, Michael Jackson, David Bowie, David Gilmour, and Pink Floyd, to name but a few.

One of Pink Floyd's most striking album covers was for 1977's Animals. Featuring the iconic towers of Battersea Power Station (BPS), the story behind the photo shoot has been well documented. However, alternate images from the session are few and far between, but a series of pictures have just been unearthed and one of them has been selected as a very limited edition print which is now on sale.

The photographer, Carinthia West, was present at the shoot with Pink Floyd's tour manager Robbie Williams who features in one of the outtake photos. The image on offer is very rare in that it features the inflatable pig still tethered between the chimneys of BPS, unlike the actual cover which is a composite shot.

Sold exclusively through Birmingham's St Paul's Gallery, the total print edition is 100 prints worldwide, with 5 different print sizes within the edition. Please call or email the gallery for details.
