Nick Mason’s pink motorcycle on the auction block

Posted March 9, 2011 by Floydian Slip

A pink motorcycle formerly owned by Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason will be auctioned at the International Classic Motorcycle Show in Stafford, England.

The Honda VF500 will go on the block April 24 to benefit Think Pink Scotland, an organization that raises funds and awareness of breast cancer in Scotland.

“We were thrilled to receive the Honda and I am hopeful that Pink Floyd enthusiasts will dig deep for a great cause,” says Think Pink Scotland founder Lynn Murray. “It is a really eye catching bike and I am sure there will be plenty of people keen to start the bidding.”

Revenues from the auction will go toward Think Pink Scotland’s campaign to build a laboratory within the Beatson Translational Research Centre in Glasgow. Building work is due to start in March and £8.2 of the £10M required has already been secured.

The auction will be conducted by Bonhams.

For more information about Think Pink Scotland, visit the organization’s Web site.

“The Wall Live in Berlin” to be re-released

Posted March 9, 2011 by Floydian Slip

In case you haven’t had your fill of talk about live performances of Pink Floyd’s “The Wall,” this month will see a re-release of Roger Waters‘ Berlin, Germany, performance from 1990.

“The Wall Live in Berlin” will be re-issued with bonus material as 2-DVD and 2-CD sets on March 29 in the U.S.

Some of the extras promised are:

An extended cut of the “Behind The Wall” documentary, expanding it from 30 to 70 minutes.
The original, unedited “warts and all” broadcast of the event. It includes an introduction by Leonard Cheshire, the then-72-year-old British war hero-turned-activist who founded the Memorial Fund for Disaster Relief, the beneficiary of Waters’ concert. (Cheshire died the summer following the concert.)
Footage shot by Floyd animator Ian Emes of Rupert Everett (Pink), Marianne Faithful and Ute Lemper for stage projections, edited here as theatrical promotional clips.
Original, full-screen Gerald Scarfe animations
New liner notes by Record Collector editor Daryl Easlea

The concert took place at Berlin’s Potzdamer Platz on July 21, 1990, and was originally released by Mercury Records in September ’90.

It received its first re-release in 2003, with new packaging, artwork and liner notes.
