Nick Mason: Floyd anthology in the works

Posted September 1, 2010 by FloydianSlip

nickmasonPink 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.”

Floyd producer Joe Boyd, Robyn Hitchcock on tour

Posted August 27, 2010 by FloydianSlip

Early Pink Floyd producer Joe Boyd and musician Robyn Hitchcock are touring the western United States.

Calling it the “Chinese White Bicycles” tour, Boyd talks and reads from his book, “White Bicycles,” while Hitchcock provides musical interludes. (See “Early Pink Floyd producer writes book.”)

“We have taken this double-act to the Green Man and SXSW festivals and it seems to have gone down OK,” Boyd writes, “so we’re taking it on the road!”

Boyd produced Pink Floyd’s first single, “Arnold Layne,” and has worked with many other bands, including Fairport Convention, Nick Drake, Bob Dylan, REM and others.

Contest: Guess the Gilmour/Waters date

Posted August 26, 2010 by FloydianSlip

david-roger_lgPigs flew July 10, when Roger Waters joined David Gilmour on stage at the Hoping Foundation charity event in Oxfordshire.

To even the scales, Gilmour has promised to join Waters at one show of his “Wall” tour to perform “Comfortably Numb” with his former bandmate.

But which show? That’s the question.

Guess the closest and win Roger Waters’ “The Wall Live in Berlin” from 1990. Guess the exact date, and we’ll throw in a sealed copy of Classic Rock’s excellent 3D Pink Floyd issue from Fall 2009, celebrating the 30th anniversary of “The Wall.”

Make your guess now. One guess per person. (Don’t worry, laddy, we’ll know …)

Roger Waters stays with Warner/Chappell

Posted August 26, 2010 by FloydianSlip

Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters and music publishing firm Warner/Chappell have renewed their contract.

The arrangement means the company will continue to administer songs Waters wrote or co-wrote while with Floyd — from the band’s “Atom Heart Mother” (1970) album until his departure from the band following “The Final Cut” (1983).

Warner/Chappell is a division of Warner Music Group Corp.

Richard Manners, Managing Director of Warner/Chappell UK said, “Roger is an iconic songwriter, lyricist and musician. Each generation discovers these phenomenal albums anew, and their wide-reaching influence and popularity continues to grow.

“We’re delighted Roger entrusts these songs to Warner/Chappell on a global basis, and we’re looking forward to the work ahead, especially with much-anticipated ‘The Wall’ dates on the horizon.”
