Three-song Pink Floyd cover EP coming in April

Posted March 13, 2010 by Floydian Slip

Fruits de Mer Records will release “What Colour is Pink?” on April 19.

The EP will include three Floyd songs from “A Saucerful of Secrets” — “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun,” “Let There Be More Light”, and “A Saucerful of Secrets” — re-recorded by German prog/psych band Vibravoid.

Available as a limited edition of 500, the EP will be sold as a pink vinyl 7-inch record with pink label and pink sleeve. Already 200 of the EPs have been pre-ordered.

This will be the 10th release from the Surrey-based label, which boasts it “loses money on every release and we love it.” The company, in business for less than two years, has previously released re-recordings of songs originally by Small Faces, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Nick Drake, Caravan, Kraftwerk, Van der Graaf Generator, Nico and others.

Fruit de Mer’s eighth EP included a cover of Floyd’s “Julia Dream” by Swedish duo Us and Them.

You’ll be able to buy the EP at the label’s Web site. For more information, email them.
