Floydian Slip’s Bizarre Collection of Antiques & Curios #5: Astoria CD

Posted March 7, 2015 by Floydian Slip

As we lead up to “Floydian Slip” Show #1,000 the week of June 8, we’re digging into the archives to share relics from the show’s past.

In late 2000, long-time Pink Floyd recording engineer Andy Jackson was releasing his “Obvious” album, and joined us on the show for a chat.

For the sake of audio fidelity — this was before the days of Skype — he offered to record his end of our telephone conversation while he talked in his home studio in the U.K. A few days later he dropped by Astoria, David Gilmour‘s houseboat studio, burned the audio onto a CD, and mailed it to me in the United States.

Safe to say, that CD remains the most unique compact disc in my collection. I presume the handwriting on the disc is Andy’s.

You can hear that interview and read a transcript at floydianslip.com.

Aubrey Powell interview available online

Posted February 23, 2015 by Floydian Slip

We’ve placed our interview with Pink Floyd sleeve designer Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell online.

You can listen to the entire 30-minute interview or read the transcript.

Powell is co-founder of Hipgnosis, which designed nearly every Floyd sleeve starting with 1968’s “A Saucerful of Secrets,” as well as iconic sleeves for other bands such as Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Paul McCartney, 10cc, Al Stewart, Black Sabbath, Alan Parsons Project and many others.

Powell knew members of Floyd before the band formed, and shared a flat for a period of time with band co-founder Syd Barrett.

Powell’s new book is “Hipgnosis: Portraits” from Thames & Hudson.
