Lost Syd Barrett recording to be released

Posted January 10, 2014 by Floydian Slip

Easy Action plans to release one of the last known live performances of Pink Floyd co-founder Syd Barrett.

The label’s managing director, Carlton Sandercock, tells “Floydian Slip,” “We have indeed purchased and are preparing to release a live set by The Last Minute Put Together Boogie Band featuring Bruce Pain, Jack Monk and Twink. Guesting is Fred Frith and, on two maybe three songs, Syd Barrett.

“The music played in this set is a million miles away from anything Pink Floyd have ever done,” he adds.

The performance was recorded Jan. 27, 1972, at the Corn Exchange in Cambridge, England.

The set list is as follows:

Sea Cruise
L.A. to London Boogie
ICE
Nadine
Drinkin’ That Wine
Number Nine (Gotta Be Reason)
Let’s Roll
Sweet Little Angel

Auction house Bonhams put up for bid a reel tape of the show in June 2010. Expecting to fetch $5,000, the item didn’t meet its reserve price and was later sold to Easy Action. (See “Rare Syd Barrett recording up for auction” and “Rare Barrett recording goes unsold“)

The label plans to release the recording, possibly as a vinyl-only release to being with, in March.

Signed Pink Floyd artwork to benefit charity

Posted January 9, 2014 by Floydian Slip

Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason has signed 10 limited edition prints, which are being sold to benefit charity.

Digital Artist Tim Wakefield uses soundwaves as templates to create some pretty far out artwork. His Pink Floyd piece is title “Careful with That Axe, Eugene,” inspired by the 1968 song of the same name. The number was originally released as the B-side to the “Point Me at the Sky” single, and later appeared on the 1971 “Relics” compilation.

Ten prints of his Floyd piece, signed by Mason, along with works inspired by Alice Cooper, Kate Bush, Queen, Eric Clapton and many others are being sold at the Indiegogo site.

Sales of the prints benefit the War Child’s Children of Syria Appeal, which will create safe havens in Syrian refugee camps to help protect children affected by the conflict.

The Floyd piece is 40″ x 40″ and goes for $1,000.

Learn more at Indigogo.

Reports: David Gilmour recording

Posted November 22, 2013 by Floydian Slip

Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour is said to be working on a new recording project.

The news was seemingly leaked by Graham Nash (Crosby Stills Nash, The Hollies) on an appearance on vintage.tv’s “Needle Time” program last week.

Nash mentioned to host Neil McCormick that he and David Crosby were “taking the train to Brighton to go and sing with David Gilmour on his new record.”

Nash and Crosby provided some backing vocals on Gilmour’s previous studio album, “On an Island” (2006).

“Floydian Slip” turned to long-time Floyd sound engineer Andy Jackson who would certainly be working on such a project, if it was underway, for comment. He would neither confirm nor deny the project, but added, “Things are afoot, and more than you might expect.”

Gilmour’s former bandmate, Roger Waters, recently off his three-year world tour of “The Wall,” told Rolling Stone recently he’s completed a 55-minute demo of a new solo album.
