Record Collector issue 393
Uncut Magazine October 2011

Published this weekend, the new issue (number 393, October 2011) of the UK's Record Collector Magazine includes an interesting chat with Nick Mason concerning the upcoming Pink Floyd reissue campaign which kicks off later this month.

In the interview, Nick talks about the various early recordings they have, and he expresses his interest in doing an Immersion edition of both Piper and Saucerful. Questions inevitably turn to the future, and Nick reveals he'd like to work in Ibiza, expressing his admiration for the "DJs whoc work with live music and play themselves. I love all that technology and how dedicated they are...". The magazine is in UK stores now, will be available worldwide in selected outlets shortly as an import, and can be bought online here.

Also in the UK last week, the new issue (October 2011) of Uncut Magazine appeared, which also features Nick Mason, in an eleven-page special. In it, Nick explains the rationale behind the reissue campaign. Uncut give a walk-through of the DSOTM "work-in-progress" mix coming with the Immersion edition, and - for the fans of early Floyd - some extremely interesting comments come from Nick. He expresses his wish for a Piper/Saucerful Immersion, that he hopes would include some great early rarities including a recording he has of them playing 'Walk With Me Sydney' and 'Double O-Bo'. Andy Jackson adds "there is potentially the material to make an album of unreleased Barrett-era stuff".

The magazine is in UK stores now, and will be available in selected countries worldwide as an import. More info at Uncut.co.uk.

Pink Floyd The Wall Immersion editionThe SuperDeluxeEdition website have been the first of a few sites to post details obtained from EMI of the demo tracks to be included on the Immersion edition of Pink Floyd's The Wall, which is being released in February 2012.

The box set runs to seven discs, including the original album along with the live recording, Is There Anybody Out There, both remastered, along with a DVD containing various items of interest. Up until now, details of the two final discs, holding album demos, have been sketchy at best, but as you'll see below, they contain over 60 demo tracks which will surely make this a hugely attractive proposition to Wall fans...

This week, as our Facebook followers have already seen, a very short, and quite unusual video clip appeared on Youtube, with a distinctly Floydian feel. Today, a second one has followed, with no indication of what these are, and where (and when) they were filmed, but spurred on by this further clip appearing, we thought we'd mention them on here too! Should any others appear, we'll put them on our Facebook page...

Rolling Stone France issue 35Following on from our previous news item about various interviews, we've more for you today as the Why Pink Floyd coverage continues.

The US sydicated Bob and Tom radio show have today (September 7th) aired an interview with David Gilmour talking about the new Pink Floyd releases. They ran the same interview yesterday as well. You can hear the show in full, including the Gilmour segment, through this link, although you will have to sign up (and pay) to hear it, unfortunately. Our thanks to Nikhil for the info. UPDATE: You can hear it in full, free, here. Thanks to David Coleman for letting us know!

Staying with the radio, Redbeard's respected In The Studio, which is also sydicated across the US, has prepared a special for the Dark Side Of The Moon Immersion boxset coming out later this month, and the show - featuring interviews with Gilmour, Roger Waters, and Nick Mason - airs in the week of September 19th. It will also be available to hear (without the music) online on the show's site.

Finally, for our French friends, the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine (issue 35) published in that country features a very fetching colour cover of the band [see left], along with an article on them within the pages. It's available in stores and bookstalls across France now. Our thanks to Frederic Barres for letting us know.

Why Pink Floyd?Tying in with the huge upcoming Why Pink Floyd reissue programme, the media are ramping up their coverage of all things Floydian.

This weekend, some radio stations in the US have been airing a special show, called "Why Pink Floyd?" It's a 50 minute special that includes new interviews with Nick Mason (interviewed by Red Beard). It also includes several classic Floyd songs, two of which are previously unreleased tracks that will be on the upcoming Immersion edition of The Dark Side of the Moon (Roger's demo for "Money" and the November 1974 live performance of "Us & Them"). A US radio station in Connecticut are airing this tomorrow (Wednesday) evening at midnight EST. They stream live worldwide through this link. UPDATE: An edit (removing the music) of the interview can now be heard on-demand through www.InTheStudio.net.

In the UK, next Friday, September 16th, digital TV station BBC 4 will have a Pink Floyd night. There are three shows advertised: The Pink Floyd Story, then one hour of Floyd clips from 1967 to the present day, and the final hour presents the band "Live At Pompeii". Our thanks to Gary Hurley for the info on this. 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.

FURTHER UPDATE: Tonight (September 7th) on BBC Radio 2, "Old Grey Whistle Test 40" which airs at 10pm UK time includes Bob Harris as he "speaks to film-maker Ian Eames about the film he created for a Pink Floyd song, which was screened on OGWT and led to a lengthy working collaboration between animator and band."
