Nick Mason: Floyd anthology in the works

Posted September 1, 2010 by Floydian Slip

Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason has indicated a Pink Floyd anthology and catalog reissue might be in the works.

His comments appear in an interview published in the recent issue of Rhythm magazine.

“We’ve been developing the idea of a Pink Floyd anthology for a long time. I’ve spent quite a lot of time trying to find the material. I really enjoy that, but it’s time consuming,” he says.

“We’re talking about doing a big reissue of the Pink Floyd catalogue because there is the belief that there eventually will be the point that there simply won’t be enough market to generate those sort of packages. That would be a tragedy, so it’s a good time to do it.”

Read the full interview online.
