We heard a rumour a few days ago, concerning the potential release of Pink Floyd's classic albums Animals (1977) and Wish You Were Here (1975) on the new surround sound SACD (Super Audio CD) format. Well respected website musictap.net today also mention this possibility, stating that they have heard from "a very reliable source that James Guthrie is now in possession of Pink Floyd analogue masters for Wish You Were Here and Animals. We're talking 5.1 hi-rez mixes for SA-CD here folks. Excited?"

Of course, as mentioned when we reported on the 2005 Pink Floyd calendar, next year is the 30th anniversary of Wish You Were Here, so an appropriate time for a polish and remaster, especially into glorious 5.1 surround sound!

It is good to hear that Animals is also under serious consideration (or even hard work!) as many have expressed disappointment over the sound of the album since it was released on CD. Obviously, this news is far from being confirmed but we will keep on top of this, and as/when we get more information, we will let you know. Our thanks to Ben for tipping us off about this...

With much thanks to our generous friends over at Virgin Books, we have no less than three copies of Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason's latest book to give away in this competition! The hardback book, "Into The Red: 22 Cars That Shaped A Century Of Motor Sport" is published tomorrow (Thursday September 9th) and is a look at some of the greatest vehicles from Nick's extensive collection.

A bit of advance notice for our friends over in New York, USA - yesterday on Q104.3 radio, after playing one of Roger Waters newly-released songs, the disc jockey mentioned that "if all goes as planned, Roger will be in the studio on Wednesday (September 8th)" for an interview.

This week BBC Radio 6 are broadcasting a four-part documentary looking at the career of Pink Floyd. Starting yesterday and running until Thursday night is Wish You'd Been Here - The History of Pink Floyd, presented by Bob Harris.

The set of interviews are being broadcast to coincide with Roger Waters birthday yesterday, and form part of the radio station's "6 Music Plays It Again" series, which replays some of the best BBC documentaries about the bands who have shaped popular and alternative music in the past 40 years.

Each show is being broadcast between 2130hrs - 2200hrs BST (GMT+1), and 0300hrs - 0400hrs BST. As with many BBC shows, they offer the chance to listen again on demand via their website. Visit the main page for the documentaries throughout the week to hear the other parts, if you aren't able to listen live to the shows.
