The remastered, 20-bit reissue of Pink Floyd "London 1966-1967", which features a full length studio version of "Interstellar Overdrive" and the otherwise unheard "Nick's Boogie", was due to be released on June 20th. We heard from the company releasing it yesterday who told us that the date has slipped to July 4th. No further delays are anticipated.

Nick Mason undertook a couple of interviews yesterday for the British media, concerning the reunion of Pink Floyd and Roger Waters at the London Live 8 concert, being held on July 2nd.

The first was in the BBC Radio 4 morning show, The Today Programme, where they took a look at how and why bands get back together. In the interview, which can be heard through this link, Nick talks of the background to the split: "The only real issue was whether we should've - and this is from Roger's point of view - should've carried on without him, or the band cease to exist when he left. And that really is what the issue was about."

We have an interesting update for you on Nick Mason's excellent book, "Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd". We brought you news of an audiobook on March 8th, and a week later, news of a re-designed paperback edition for the European market, on March 14th.

We heard late this afternoon from the publishers that Nick will be writing a new section covering the forthcoming Live 8 concert in London for inclusion in the paperback edition, which will also include pictures from the concert.

The audiobook will contain a bonus track, with Nick talking about the concert, and how the reunion happened.

Further to the momentous news yesterday (June 12th) that Pink Floyd were reuniting with Roger Waters, to play their first concert together for 24 years as part of the Live 8 London show, we have a couple of updates for you here.

Firstly, Roger Waters has given his comments about the reunion:

"It's great to be asked to help Bob raise public awareness on the issues of third world debt and poverty. The cynics will scoff, screw 'em!

"Also, to be given the opportunity to put the band back together, even if it's only for a few numbers, is a big bonus."
