This month saw the release of "A Tribute To The King", a DVD which features a concert performed behind closed doors at London's legendary Abbey Road Studios, last November, celebrating 50 years of rock'n'roll, and we had three copies to give away to BD visitors!

This month saw the US release of the long-awaited DVD of "Pink Floyd - London 1966-67", the UK/European edition having been released in September, and a review of this can be found here on this site.

It definitely is a "must have", and thanks to the generosity of those nice people at Snapper Music, we had a great competition for you. The first picked name, below, has won a signed, framed print, DVD (with CD), and t-shirt. The four runners up will get a t-shirt and DVD/CD set. The large-format, signed print is one of only 20 that have been created of the cover art, and the one we are giving away has been professionally framed, and signed by director Peter Whitehead! A very nice prize indeed...

With the paperback and audiobook CD of Nick Mason's excellent book, "Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd", hitting the shops this month, we had another great competition for you!

We gave you a chance to win one of five copies of the collectors edition audio CD set, which will be signed by Nick on 1st November!

Nick has been fully and enthusiastically involved throughout the production of the audio version of Inside Out. As well as enjoying recording his reading of the book, he has added a typically Floydian flourish to proceedings. As he says, ‘To fit the book on the CDs we had to lose a couple of jokes, so we’ve added a lot of funny noises instead!’

With a week and a half to go before the official Live 8 DVD is released, the timing for a rebroadcast of highlights of the concert on German TV seems particularly strange.

TV channel Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (RBB) is airing over 23 hours of the best bits of the Live 8 shows in London, Berlin, Rome, Paris, Tokyo and Philadelphia. The highlights are being shown after midnight on 28th and 29th October, and 4th and 5th November. Included of course, will be the headline-grabbing reunion of Roger Waters with Pink Floyd - we understand that they will be showing this complete.

RBB can be received via satellite in Europe, on the Astra 19 east analogue service, for those who want to remind themselves of the show before the DVD itself arrives. The DVD will feature the band's rehearsals and interviews with them, too, so the television broadcast will be interesting but not as good, in our opinion! Our thanks to Kevin O'Donoghue for the heads-up.
