Roger Waters' bass guitar was recently put up for sale in a charity auction. Roger gave the guitar to the sponsor of his tour after the gig in Warsaw, Poland.
The auction is for a foundation which buys medical equipment for the hospitals in that country. The bidding reached 42100.00 zl (about 11000 euros). The auction finished yesterday at midday CET, and there are some great pictures of the bass on the auction website. Our thanks to Scarlett from Poland for letting us know this information.

According to the new issue of Mojo Magazine, Syd's appearance on the Kevin Ayers track "Singing A Song In The Morning" is finally coming out on a new reissue of Kevin Ayers' "Joy Of A Toy" on CD.
Archivist Mark Powell, who is masterminding the EMI project said: "I've listened to 84 versions of that song, including one that clearly mentions Syd at the start of the take. Yes, there's weird guitar all over it, very wayward, but as a whole it's very together".
The track has been a frequent one on many unofficial collections but to date, none of them have genuinely been the version including Syd's guitar. This new release will be most welcome within the Floyd community.

Further to the story on our news page in December, the Omnibus "Crazy Diamond" programme the BBC aired last year will be released on DVD by DVDisc.co.uk on March 24th. According to our friend Keith Jordan of Neptune Pink Floyd, it is the exact same programme except for a few seconds of programme captions a minute into the programme plus the BBC Omnibus opening titles have been removed. It is 49 minutes long, and called "The Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story". More details as we get them...

Contrary to what David Gilmour believes, the Leiber & Stoller Tribute concert HAS now been released on DVD and VHS. It is being sold by DVD Disc Ltd., who are selling the title on their site (click here) which retails for £17.99 (DVD) and £11.99 (VHS).
The running time is 120 minutes, and features a number of top stars putting their own interpretation on 29 of L&S's classic songs, including DG performing "Stop", Sam Brown, Paul Carrack, Chris Rea, Tom Jones "and many, many more". Both titles are in widescreen format; the DVD is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, and the concert itself was recorded in June 2001 at London's Hammersmith Apollo.

We have it on VERY good authority that David Gilmour's 2003 tour has sadly been shelved. He is not expecting to do any shows this year (apart from the odd guest appearance) so it'll be 2004 at the earliest. More news as we get it.
