New Storm Thorgerson book coming Oct. 1

Posted September 28, 2013 by Floydian Slip

StormStudios and de Milo will publish “The Gathering Storm: The Album Art of Storm Thorgerson” on Oct. 1.

The book covers the five-decade-long career of Storm Thorgerson, one of the most prolific album sleeve designers in history, and the primary designer of the Pink Floyd catalog.

Thorgerson wrote and compiled the book over the last year of his life. He saw and approve a finished copy just a few days before he died April 18.

“The Gathering Storm” comes in three editions: Hardback, collector’s and deluxe. The editions are detailed, and available for pre-order, at the Firebrand website.

“The Body” coming to DVD

Posted September 13, 2013 by Floydian Slip

The 1970 Roy Battersby documentary “The Body,” best known to Pink Floyd fans for its soundtrack including work by Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters, will be issued on DVD next month.

Network Distributing Ltd. will release the film on DVD in its entirety for the first time. The disc will include the original theatrical trailer, a gallery of still images, and promotional material.

Waters composed and recorded the soundtrack along with Ron Geesin. The track “Give Birth to a Smile” included the rest of Pink Floyd, who appeared without credit.

The DVD will be issued as a Region 2 disc, playable in Europe, the Middle East and several other countries, but not the United States.

Network describes “The Body” as “a deeply intimate feature-length film exploring the physical experience of being human.”

Narrated by Vanessa Redgrave and Frank Finlay, with commentary by poet/playwright Adrian Mitchell, the film follows the human life-cycle from conception to death.

Battersby has worked as a director mostly in television since 1969.

The DVD will be priced at £6.98.
