Just announced is the September 2026 issue of Classic Rock Magazine (issue 357) which has a large cover feature on Pink Floyd.

From the publisher's description, '[Pink Floyd's] hugely ambitious 1980/81 tour for The Wall redefined rock shows. But, plagued by power grabs, bad blood, sackings and bitter dysfunction, it also tore the band apart.

'There's a quote from Roger Waters in this month’s cover feature that sums up the state of the Pink Floyd nation during their very ambitious – and very fractious – tour supporting The Wall album, which drew to a close 45 years ago.

"We have been pretending we're all jolly good chaps together," he said, "but that hasn't been true in seven years."

'While the Gilmour/ Waters-led Floyd would go on to record one more album together, 1983's The Final Cut – and quite how they managed that is anyone's guess – The Wall tour really did spell the dissolution of the band. Was it the sheer scale and ambition of the trek, the financial ramifications, creative differences or something else entirely that brought things to a head?'

Also in Classic Rock 357: Aerosmith, Faster Pussycat, Blackie Lawless, Airbourne, Bruce Hornsby, Carmine Appice, Billy Morrison, Amy Lee, Pat Travers and more.

Steven Wilson has been auctioning several white label test pressings from his personal collection of albums that he has been commissioned to remaster or remix for other artists. All proceeds from the auctions are being donated to charity, and are being sold with the approval of the record labels in question.

One of these is the second and final copy of a white label test pressing of the 4LP Pink Floyd set Live at Los Angeles Sports Arena 1975, which was released worldwide for 2026 Record Store Day. The Record Store Day version was released on clear vinyl but this being a test pressing is a black vinyl version making it even more collectable for Floyd fans, as it is the only way to get it in this format.

As you'll see from the image here, and the auction listing itself, Steven has signed one of the covers of this highly desirable item. The eBay auction runs until July 23rd, at 9:45pm BST so if you are interested in this, you've got around a week from today to get your bids in! Recently Steven offered the other copy of the LA Sports Arena test pressing he had, and, separately, the 2LP Pink Floyd Pompeii test pressing he had, and other saw heavy bidding until the end of the respective auctions. This final opportunity is bound to be even more popular. Best of luck to all who bid, and thanks to Steven for letting us know.
