Last month we reported that a new DVD was coming out this month. It has now arrived, and we can give more detail on this title. Pictured right is the cover of the DVD, which is a follow up to the successful CD, "Pigs And Pyramids: An All Star Line Up Performing the Songs Of Pink Floyd", and goes under the same title (albeit ditching the "Pigs And Pyramids" bit).

The Easy Star All-Stars excellent reggae take on Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon, cunningly called Dub Side Of The Moon (reviewed elsewhere on this site) is now available as a coloured vinyl LP.

The vinyl comes in three different colours: red, gold, and green. It features all of the songs from the original sequence of "Dark Side of the Moon" (though you'll have to buy the CD to get the four bonus tracks). They have priced it quite reasonably at $12 each, but if you really can't decide, they'll knock $3 if you buy the set of three! Follow this link if you want to add this to your collection...

The UK newspaper, the Daily Express, included a nice picture of David Gilmour and wife Polly Samson last week at a book launch in London, on the eve of his 58th birthday (not 60th, as the Express quoted!). They asked him for his reaction at "finding himself back in the charts" - in reality, the Scissor Sisters in the top ten with their version of Comfortably Numb.

"My publisher says I gave my permission a year ago." So does he like it? "Well, I don't dislike it," smiled David. The Express then went on to say that 'obviously Dave, who recently donated the £3.6million proceeds of his house to homeless charity Crisis, didn't like it quite enough to rush out and buy a copy.' "My publisher sent me a free one," he added with a grin...

A DVD release of the 1985 Live Aid concert, held at London's Wembley Stadium and JFK Stadium, Philadelphia, is at long last due out this Christmas, mainly due to chief organiser Bob Geldof's annoyance at the amount of bootleg DVD's flooding the market. Geldof tipped off police after pirated DVDs were found on the internet for £110 for a 10-disc set. Police raided a property in Lancashire and made one arrest.
