Random Precision Radio Network update
Posted September 19, 2018 by Floydian Slip
In addition to our occasional notices of new affiliate stations joining our network, here’s a summary of some other recent changes to our broadcast schedule:
After a short hiatus, “Floydian Slip” has returned to WAIB 88.5 FM “Better Radio” in Redwood, NY, Tuesdays at 6 p.m. ET.
We’ve also resumed airing on WKPW 90.7 FM in Knightstown, IN, Sundays at 8 p.m. ET. “Classic Hits 90.7” is a student-run operation owned by New Castle Career Center that takes off summers.
Here in our Vermont backyard, our longest-running affiliate, Burlington’s WIZN 106.7 FM “The Wizard,” moved us to 10 p.m. Sundays after several years of airing at 8 p.m. “I love the vibe of this show at 8 p.m. in the cold, dark winter,” program director Matt Grasso explained to us, “but in the middle of the summer it’s light out at 8 p.m. and people are still on their decks barbecuing.” Agreed.
A little farther south, WDVT 94.5 FM in Rutland, VT, has flipped formats from classic hits to classic rock and rebranded from “The Drive” to “Rock 94.5” A few months ago they moved us back a couple hours from 10 Saturday nights to midnight.
On Sept. 1, KVMO 104.3 FM “V104.3” in Vandalia, MO, moved us from 11 p.m. Sundays to 5 p.m. Sundays.
Last week KGFK 95.7 “The Forks” in Grand Forks, ND, rebranded to “Rock 95” and moved our Saturday airtime. Now you can hear “Floydian Slip” Saturday and Sunday mornings at 9 a.m. CT.
And starting October 1, WQON 100.3 FM “Q100” in Grayling, MI, will begin simulcasting on WOUF 99.3 FM, soon to be renamed WQAN, a little farther west in Beulah, MI. Hear us there Thursdays at 10 p.m. and Sundays at 7 p.m. CT.

Original Pink Floyd album art on exhibit, for sale
Posted September 17, 2018 by Floydian Slip
Several pieces of original Pink Floyd album artwork by Hipgnosis and Gerald Scarfe are part of an exhibit in downtown San Francisco.
“Art of the Album Cover” opened Saturday at the San Francisco Art Exchange (SFAE). It’ll run through October.
The exhibit includes nearly 100 original works, including layered concept drawings for Floyd’s “The Dark Side of the Moon” (1973), “considered to be the single most valuable artwork in rock history,” according to SFAE.
The drawings constitute a three-layer mock-up done on transparent paper that served as a guide for the printer in manufacturing the cover.
According to the exhibit’s catalog, “These drawings were utilized in much the same way that builders construct a house. The final ‘work of art’ is the house itself, but the creative original artworks were the plans for the house (think Frank Lloyd Wright). These three drawings bring the final artwork to life as each is superimposed over the other — guiding the printer to the final achievement.”
Frank Floyd Wright, more likely.
The price of the “Dark Side” piece is listed only as “Price on request” in the SFAE catalog. “The most expensive prices aren’t shown for a variety of reasons,” SFAE founder and executive director Jim Hartley explained to Floydian Slip. “Several of the more spectacular pieces go into the seven figures, as you might imagine.”
Other Floyd-related pieces include the original montage to 1969’s “Ummagumma” and a C-print photo of that album’s back cover; the original dye-transfer airbrushed photo that appeared on the cover of the U.K. edition of “Wish You Were Here” (1975); a number of Scarfe sketches of the band from its ’74 U.K. winter tour program; and a 2017 commemorative print of “The Wall.”
All original Floyd pieces are signed.
Other albums featured at the exhibit include “Abbey Road,” “Rubber Soul,” “Meet the Beatles,” “Beggars Banquet,” “Candy-O,” “Hair,” “The Best of the Doors,” “Blonde on Blonde,” “At Folsom Prison” (Johnny Cash), and many more.
All pieces come from private, corporate, and artists’ collections from around the world.
The exhibit catalog is available as a download, along with the price list.
More information is available at info@sfae.com or (415) 441-8840.

Roger Waters to release “The Soldier’s Tale”
Posted September 12, 2018 by Floydian Slip
Sony Classical will release Igor Stravinsky’s “The Soldier’s Tale” recorded by Roger Waters next month.
“The Soldier’s Tale” is a musical theatre piece conceived in 1918 by Stravinsky and Swiss writer C. F. Ramuz, and based on the Russian folk tale “The Runaway Soldier and the Devil” from the collection of Alexander Afanasyev.
In the original story, a soldier trades his fiddle to the devil in return for unlimited wealth. Waters has rewritten the text of the original piece for his adaptation.
In his recording, Waters plays all of the roles — the principal parts of the Soldier, the Devil and the Narrator, as well as all supporting characters. As originally conceived, the piece uses three actors for the principal roles, along with one or more dancers.
Other recent adaptations of “The Soldier’s Tale” include an animated version featuring Max von Sydow and broadcast on PBS in 1984; a 1993 version by Kurt Vonnegut that set the story in WWII; and a jazz version by Joan Sanmartí in 2002.
Waters’s “The Soldier’s Tale” is set for release Oct. 26.
