Backing vocalist Barry St. John dead at 76
Posted September 25, 2020 by Floydian Slip
We just learned Barry St. John, who sang on Pink Floyd’s “The Dark Side of the Moon” (1973) died last month. She was 76.
St. John, whose real name was Eliza Janet Thomson, recorded singles in the ’60s as a solo artist before focusing on session work in the ’70s. In December ’65, she hit the U.K. Top 40 with “Come Away Melinda.”
“With Pink Floyd, I remember there were five sessions that day and the one for ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ was the last one,” she told The Strange Brew in an interview. “It was all right but a bit weird. They didn’t seem to smile. I remember Lesley Duncan told somebody that she didn’t know what we had done wrong because they were so stand-offish.”
St. John can be heard on Dark Side’s “Time,” “Us and Them,” and “Brain Damage/Eclipse.”
As a session singer, the Glasgow native worked with John Lennon, Bryan Ferry, Elton John, John Baldry, John Cale, Mott the Hoople and many more.
“Delicate Sound of Thunder” to be re-released
Posted September 24, 2020 by Floydian Slip
Sony Music will re-release Pink Floyd‘s “Delicate Sound of Thunder” on Nov. 20.
The Grammy award-nominated film and live album, a document of the band’s “A Momentary Lapse of Reason” tour of 1987-89, will be re-issued on Blu-ray, DVD, 3LPs, 2CDs and deluxe editions with remixed 5.1 Surround Sound.
In addition to the live album and full concert film included with The Later Years boxset last November, all editions of ’20 re-issue will include a 40-page photo booklet, tour poster and postcards. The 3-LP 180-gram vinyl set includes nine songs not included on the 1988 release of the album. And the 2-CD includes eight tracks more than the original release.
Filmed at Long Island’s Nassau Coliseum in August 1988 and directed by Wayne Isham, the re-issued film is sourced from more than 100 cans of original 35mm negatives, restored and transferred to 4K. The film has been re-edited by Benny Trickett from the restored and upgraded footage under creative direction of Aubrey Powell/Hipgnosis.
The sound has been remixed from the original multitrack tapes by longtime Floyd engineer Andy Jackson with David Gilmour, assisted by Damon Iddins.
Sony will handle re-release of “Delicate Sound of Thunder” outside Europe, while Warner Music will manage the European release.
Cinema release still on-hold
On Aug. 20, Trafalgar Releasing announced the film would play theaters one night only, Oct. 15. The next day, the band’s Facebook page revealed that event had been postponed.
James Merchant, Trafalgar Head of Film and Music, confirmed for “Floydian Slip” today there are no updates on a rescheduled release date for that cinema event.
