Many of you will recall that last year, and the early part of this year, we told you about Barrett, a limited edition, high quality, large-format book that describes itself as the "definitive visual companion to the life of Syd Barrett".

Published in March 2011 in "Classic" and the 500-copy "Signature" editions, Barrett is the first book to have been made in conjunction with the Barrett family and the Syd Barrett Estate, and this has paid dividends with the material which has been uncovered and revealed for the first time. However, the publishers have cast their net far and wide, which has resulted in a wide variety of incredible, unpublished photos of the band, and Barrett, onstage and off. It is the largest collection of Syd Barrett-related images ever assembled, and includes Syd's letters along with all of his artworks.

Our full review can be seen here.

The publishers are running a competition to win a copy. There are three copies up for grabs and no purchase is necessary, so give it a go. Good luck! To enter, visit barrettbook.com/winbook/ now. The prize draws will be made on September 20th, 23rd and 29th each from the entire pool of entries, so the sooner you enter the better your chances of winning!

To help celebrate the release of the first stage of the Why Pink Floyd remaster campaign, the respected US radio broadcaster Redbeard is airing a special show this week in North America. His "In The Studio" specials have built a great reputation due to their mix of detailed interview and music.

This week's show focuses on The Dark Side Of The Moon, which is coming out on Discovery, Experience and Immersion formats (and on vinyl too) on September 26th. Redbeard interviews David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Roger Waters, for their thoughts on it, and the show can be heard across North America - check his website for participating radio stations, and then local listings for exact time and date of broadcast.

The interview will also be made available from next Monday (September 26th) worldwide at www.InTheStudio.net, where you can also find some of his other Pink Floyd specials to stream at your convenience.

Just a reminder for you, following our news item last Tuesday, that in the UK this evening (September 16th), digital TV station BBC 4 are having a Pink Floyd night. There are three shows advertised: The Pink Floyd Story (9:30pm), then one hour of Floyd clips from 1967 to the present day (10:30pm), and the final hour presents the band "Live At Pompeii" (11:30pm).

"A Pink Floyd Miscellany" is a compilation of rarely screened Pink Floyd videos and performances, beginning with the Arnold Layne promo from 1967 and culminating with the reunited band's performance at Live 8 in 2005. It also includes a newly-restored Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2) and performances of Grantchester Meadows, Cymbeline and others.

If you miss tonight's airing, you'll have two further opportunities to catch the programme - Saturday (September 17th) at 1:30am, and Monday (September 19th) at 0:40am.

BBC 4 is broadcast from 7pm every evening on Freesat channel 107, Freeview channel 9, Sky Digital channel 116, Tiscali channel 20 and Virgin Media channel 107, as well as directly from the BBC Four website. Many BBC Four programmes are also available after transmission on BBC iPlayer.

Along with many around the world, our thoughts are with the family and friends of Richard Wright today, on the third anniversary of his extremely sad passing...

A founding member of the early Pink Floyd, his distinctive keyboard work was a cornerstone of the band's music, yet his contribution was of course so much greater than that, as a vocalist and songwriter, responsible for many significant pieces of music throughout the band's career.

A steady stream of emails are arriving here from fans who are thinking of Richard today, playing his music in tribute.
