Pink Floyd

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.”

Originally scheduled for an Oct. 4 release, EMI now tells us it will hit the streets Nov. 9.

Read more about the release: “New Syd Barrett Compilation to Include Lost Track.”

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.

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 …)

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.”

The show will air on KMGI, “Classic Rock 102.5,” each Friday night at midnight and Sunday mornings at 6 Mountain time. (Sunday time changed to 9 am —fs)

KMGI is a 100,000-watt classic rock station broadcasting to southeastern Idaho at 102.5 FM.

The station becomes the nine affiliate to join the show’s Random Precision Radio Network, created last summer when we began syndicating our show from our Vermont studio.
