Classic Rock to publish Floyd 3D cover

Posted November 4, 2009 by Floydian Slip

U.K. magazine Classic Rock will mark the 30th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” when it features the album on a special 3D cover later this month.

“The 30th anniversary of ‘The Wall’ is a major milestone in the history of Pink Floyd and the lives of our readers, so it was only right to celebrate with a cover as mind expanding as their music,” says publisher Chris Ingham.

The cover will features a number of Floydian images such as a flying pig, marching hammers and pyramid. Classic Rock says the cover will be the first high-definition 3D magazine cover published in the U.K.

The issue will include an eight-page article about the album, including previously unpublished behind-the-scenes photos from the making of the 1982 film, “Pink Floyd The Wall.”

The issue will be available Nov. 11 in the U.K., and Dec. 9 in the United States, at stores such as Barnes and Nobles and Borders.

Barrett photos will be auctioned for charity

Posted November 2, 2009 by Floydian Slip

Three photos of Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett will be auctioned this month for charity.

The photos were taken in 1969 by Mick Rock for Barrett’s “The Madcap Laughs” album.

Half of the proceeds will go to the Syd Barrett Fund, to benefit art projects and mental health. The fund plans to eventually open the Syd Barrett Centre for Social Arts in Cambridge.

Viewing begins on Nov. 9 at Phillips de Pury Gallery in London. The auction takes place Nov. 21.

You can view the gallery and make a bid at www.phillipsdepury.com.
