Roger Waters posts contentious liner notes; announces memoirs

Posted June 1, 2021 by Floydian Slip

First, the good news: It seems new stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound mixes by James Guthrie of Pink Floyd‘s 1977 “Animals” album may be closer to being released.

As for the bad news: Roger Waters‘s vitrol of former bandmate David Gilmour would seem to be at an all-time high.

In a message posted yesterday to his website, Waters says he’s agreeing to allow the new mixes to be released without liner notes, claiming Gilmour was unwilling to allow the releases to include the liner notes, written by Mark Blake.

According to Waters, “He (Gilmour) does not dispute the veracity of the history described in Mark’s notes, but he wants that history to remain secret.

“This is a small part of an ongoing campaign by the Gilmour/ (Polly) Samson camp to claim more credit for Dave on the work he did in Pink Floyd, 1967-1985, than is his due,” Waters adds. “Yes he was, and is, a jolly good guitarist and singer. But, he has for the last 35 years told a lot of whopping porky pies about who did what in Pink Floyd when I was still in charge.”

Waters includes Blake’s liner notes in his post.

He also announces he’s begun work on his memoirs. “For anyone with a faint heart, I suggest you sit down, but anyone who likes a good laugh, sit back and fucking howl!” he writes. “I’m going to sit back and howl along with you.”
