Posted August 31, 2020 by Floydian Slip

Register to win two limited edition releases originally pressed for Record Store Day 2020: A one-sided 12-inch containing “Green Is the Colour” and “Vegetable Man” from Nick Mason’s A Saucerful of Secrets; and a one-sided 45 containing “Arnold Layne” by Pink Floyd recorded live in 2007.

Both discs feature etched B-sides and have been pressed in limited editions: 4,000 copies of the Nick Mason disc; and 7,400 of the Floyd 45.

The 12-inch is a preview of Mason’s band’s “Live at the Roundhouse,” a concert film and album originally scheduled for release April 17, now set to drop Sept. 19. The full performance, recorded at the London venue in May 2019, will be available as a double LP, three-disc CD/DVD, and Blu-ray.

“Arnold Layne” is the last live performance of that song by Floyd with David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Wright. The performance took place at the Syd Barrett Tribute Concert at The Barbican May 10, 2007, and included Jon Carin on keyboards and vocals, and Andy Bell (Oasis) on bass.

“Delicate Sound of Thunder” coming to theaters

Posted August 20, 2020 by Floydian Slip

Trafalgar Releasing will present Pink Floyd‘s “Delicate Sound of Thunder” concert film in select theaters one night only, Oct. 15.

The film, directed by Wayne Isham, was first released on VHS in June 1989. DVD and Blu-ray versions came 30 years later in 2019.

This will be the first time the Grammy-nominated movie — for “Best Long Form Music Video” — will be shown in theaters.

“Delicate Sound of Thunder” is a document of the band’s A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour shot in August 1988 at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y. Additional footage was recorded two months earlier at the Place d’Armes of the Château de Versailles, France.

Trafalgar gave a similar treatment to Nick Mason‘s “Live at the Roundhouse” this spring, and Roger Waters‘s “Us + Them” in autumn 2019.

Tickets go on sale Aug. 27 at delicatesoundofthunder.com.

Addendum (Aug. 24, 2020): The Pink Floyd Facebook page states “The cinema release of Delicate Sound of Thunder will be postponed. More details to follow.”

New David Gilmour song released as single

Posted July 3, 2020 by Floydian Slip

Legacy/Columbia today released David Gilmour‘s “Yes, I Have Ghosts” as a single.

The new track, written by Gilmour and his wife, Polly Samson, features their daughter, Romany Gilmour, on backing vocals and harp.

“I was working on this song just as we went into lockdown and had to cancel a session with backing singers,” Gilmour said in a statement.

“As it turned out, the solution was right here and I couldn’t be happier with the way Romany’s voice blends with mine and her beautiful harp playing has been another revelation,” he added.

The song was originally released last week as part of the audiobook of Samson’s novel “A Theatre for Dreamers,” and was inspired by one of the characters in the story.

New song coming from David Gilmour

Posted June 12, 2020 by Floydian Slip

The upcoming audiobook of Polly Samson‘s “A Theatre for Dreamers” will include the song “Yes I have Ghosts,” a new single from husband David Gilmour.

Gilmour has been writing with Samson since Pink Floyd’s “The Division Bell” (1994). He provides original incidental music throughout the audiobook.

The single is inspired by a character in the book, set on the Greek island of Hydra, and was co-written by Samson.

“We didn’t set out to work together on the audiobook, but lockdown meant I had to narrate and I’m grateful to David Gilmour for stepping in to the producer’s chair,” says Samson “We wanted to explore the creative possibilities of the format and produce something new, refreshing and innovative.”

Publisher W.F. Howes Ltd. lists the release date of the audiobook as Sept. 1.

Uncut and Prog magazines have both published a date of June 25, though it’s unclear whether that’s the release date for the audiobook or the stand-alone single.
