On Sunday, we told you about the new book by Marcus Hearn, through publishers Reynolds &
Hearn, called "Pink Floyd - Rex Collections".
A hotly anticipated book, it is a compilation of the best Pink Floyd pictures from the Rex Features archives, and we have some more information for you
concerning this.
The publication date for the international edition is now much sooner, and thanks to Marcus, we have some insight into how much of Rex's archives were plundered, and we even have some examples of page spreads to whet your appetites...

We have a few smaller items for you today, that we thought we'd put together in one place - including Nick Mason interviewed in a UK drumming magazine, Guy Pratt appearing on Australian TV, and a very interesting Vinyl/CD release in the US!

Many of you will recall that back on November 13th last year, we told you about an upcoming tribute to Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett, being held in his home town of Cambridge. On December 5th, the first public performance of The City Wakes, a multi-media arts tribute to Barrett, was held at the Centre at St Paul's, Hills Road, in Cambridge. The performance was a 'work in progress' towards the staging of a full production in 2008, featuring new versions of many Barrett-penned classics.
Syd's sister, Rosemary, has lent her support to The City Wakes by making a significant donation from the Syd Barrett Trust. "I am thrilled to be involved in this project. It's what Syd would have wanted." We now have more details of the full production, being held later this year...

 Our friends in the US should make a note in their diaries, so that they don't miss the very popular NBC TV programme Saturday Night Live. Scheduled to appear on the February 2nd show is Roger Waters, due to perform - certainly with Snowy White, possibly with his full band. UPDATE: This now looks to be cancelled, with a re-run (repeat) of an old show now scheduled in its place. Sites that were listing it, such as Snowy White's official website, have now removed this show.
