Quite remarkably it is twenty years since the release of Pink Floyd's A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, the band's first since the departure of Roger Waters. Highly respected US radio show In The Studio will be airing their 1987 AMLOR special, featuring David Gilmour and Nick Mason talking about the album's creation, this week. Visit www.InTheStudio.net for details of the many radio stations which carry the syndicated show. (Thanks to Terrence Reardon for the tip-off!)

As many of you are aware, there are Pink Floyd tribute bands and shows across the world, bringing good music (played with varying degrees of success!) to local pubs, clubs, halls and even major arenas. With the sheer number of them, it is impossible to provide coverage of these bands, but occasionally there are rare exceptions.

We know that many of you hugely enjoy the Australian Pink Floyd show, and they have today announced a major tour of the UK for 2008. This features their new show, promising to be bigger and more ambitious than ever before, offering "The Best of The Wall".

We alerted you to this some time ago, and as promised, here's a reminder of an essential listen coming up. BBC Radio Two will be airing a two-part documentary looking at the 40th anniversary of Pink Floyd.

Days In The Life features the four members of the classic Floyd line-up - David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Roger Waters and Rick Wright - telling their own story via a series of new interviews.

Make sure you tune in on Saturday, November 17th at 8pm GMT for the first hour-long part. The second part follows exactly one week later...

We know that many of you are itching to get your hands on the forthcoming limited edition, Pink Floyd mini vinyl LP replica, CD box set collection, "Oh, By The Way...". The band's official website has just been updated with details of the box set, confirming what is included within Storm Thorgerson's intriguing packaging.

As part of their news story, they show two cover images - presumably front and back - which you can also see here (click thumbnail to the left). They also confirm the set comes with a specially designed 40th Anniversary fabric poster featuring 40 Floyd images. For those who cannot wait, check out Storm's book Mind Over Matter for a sneak preview!

One thing to note, particularly for those who are buying the set for Christmas presents - they state that the release date will now be December 10th (December 11th in the US). More details of the set here.
