The upcoming album by Marianne Faithfull will include music written by Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters.
NME reports “Give My Love to London,” scheduled for release in September, will also include contributions from Pat Leonard — we’re presuming the same artist who’s worked with Floyd (“A Momentary Lapse of Reason” [1987]) and Waters (“Amused to Death” [1992] ).
Waters contributed “Incarceration of a Flower Child” to Faithfull’s “Vagabond Ways” album in 1999, and played on the track. He’d written the song in the late-’60s — supposedly about fallen bandmate Syd Barrett — but never recorded it himself or with Floyd.
NME says “Give My Love to London” will include music written by Waters and other artists, and lyrics by Faithfull.

Pink Floyd will release a boxset edition of its 1994 album “The Division Bell” to commemorate the album’s 20th anniversary.
It’s scheduled for release June 30.
The boxset will feature a new 2-LP vinyl edition of the album, remastered by Doug Sax at The Mastering Lab from the original analogue tapes, including all the full length tracks (originally edited to fit on a single LP) in a gatefold sleeve designed by Hipgnosis/StormStudios.
Five other discs are included: a red 7-inch vinyl replica of the single “Take It Back,” a clear 7-inch vinyl replica of “High Hopes,” 12-inch blue vinyl replica of “High Hopes” with reverse laser etched design, the 2011 Discovery remaster of “The Division Bell,” and a Blu-ray disc including “The Division Bell” in HD Audio, plus the previously unreleased 5.1 surround sound audio mix of the album by longtime Floyd engineer Andy Jackson.
Another addition included on the Blu-ray disc is a new video for the Grammy award-winning instrumental “Marooned.” Filmed in Ukraine during the first week of April 2014, the video was directed by Aubrey Powell of Hipgnosis. It’ll appear on the disc with audio tracks in PCM Stereo and a 5.1 mix by Jackson.
“The Division Bell’ debuted at #1 in the U.K. and in the USA, staying at the top of the U.S. charts for four weeks. It also went to #1 in eight other countries and, to date, has reached total album sales of more than 12 million. The album was recorded by the band at Astoria and Britannia Row Studios with the majority of the lyrics being written by David Gilmour and his wife, Polly Samson.
Gilmour said at the time: “The three of us went into Britannia Row studios, and improvised for two weeks. Playing together and starting from scratch was interesting and exciting, it kick started the album and the process was very good, it was collaborative and felt more cohesive.”
Bob Ezrin and Gilmour produced the original album, with orchestral arrangements by the late Michael Kamen. The anniversary box set discs have been remastered by long term Pink Floyd audio associates James Guthrie and Joel Plante.

Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason has signed 10 limited edition prints, which are being sold to benefit charity.
Digital Artist Tim Wakefield uses soundwaves as templates to create some pretty far out artwork. His Pink Floyd piece is title “Careful with That Axe, Eugene,” inspired by the 1968 song of the same name. The number was originally released as the B-side to the “Point Me at the Sky” single, and later appeared on the 1971 “Relics” compilation.
Ten prints of his Floyd piece, signed by Mason, along with works inspired by Alice Cooper, Kate Bush, Queen, Eric Clapton and many others are being sold at the Indiegogo site.
Sales of the prints benefit the War Child’s Children of Syria Appeal, which will create safe havens in Syrian refugee camps to help protect children affected by the conflict.
The Floyd piece is 40″ x 40″ and goes for $1,000.
