“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.

Register to win two limited edition releases originally pressed for Record Store Day 2020: A one-sided 12-inch containing “Green Is the Colour” and “Vegetable Man” from Nick Mason’s A Saucerful of Secrets; and a one-sided 45 containing “Arnold Layne” by Pink Floyd recorded live in 2007.

Both discs feature etched B-sides and have been pressed in limited editions: 4,000 copies of the Nick Mason disc; and 7,400 of the Floyd 45.

The 12-inch is a preview of Mason’s band’s “Live at the Roundhouse,” a concert film and album originally scheduled for release April 17, now set to drop Sept. 19. The full performance, recorded at the London venue in May 2019, will be available as a double LP, three-disc CD/DVD, and Blu-ray.

“Arnold Layne” is the last live performance of that song by Floyd with David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Wright. The performance took place at the Syd Barrett Tribute Concert at The Barbican May 10, 2007, and included Jon Carin on keyboards and vocals, and Andy Bell (Oasis) on bass.

New David Gilmour song released as single

Posted July 3, 2020 by Floydian Slip

Legacy/Columbia today released David Gilmour‘s “Yes, I Have Ghosts” as a single.

The new track, written by Gilmour and his wife, Polly Samson, features their daughter, Romany Gilmour, on backing vocals and harp.

“I was working on this song just as we went into lockdown and had to cancel a session with backing singers,” Gilmour said in a statement.

“As it turned out, the solution was right here and I couldn’t be happier with the way Romany’s voice blends with mine and her beautiful harp playing has been another revelation,” he added.

The song was originally released last week as part of the audiobook of Samson’s novel “A Theatre for Dreamers,” and was inspired by one of the characters in the story.

New song coming from David Gilmour

Posted June 12, 2020 by Floydian Slip

The upcoming audiobook of Polly Samson‘s “A Theatre for Dreamers” will include the song “Yes I have Ghosts,” a new single from husband David Gilmour.

Gilmour has been writing with Samson since Pink Floyd’s “The Division Bell” (1994). He provides original incidental music throughout the audiobook.

The single is inspired by a character in the book, set on the Greek island of Hydra, and was co-written by Samson.

“We didn’t set out to work together on the audiobook, but lockdown meant I had to narrate and I’m grateful to David Gilmour for stepping in to the producer’s chair,” says Samson “We wanted to explore the creative possibilities of the format and produce something new, refreshing and innovative.”

Publisher W.F. Howes Ltd. lists the release date of the audiobook as Sept. 1.

Uncut and Prog magazines have both published a date of June 25, though it’s unclear whether that’s the release date for the audiobook or the stand-alone single.
