David Gilmour covers The Beatles

Posted August 20, 2015 by Floydian Slip

The upcoming issue of Mojo magazine includes a previously unreleased David Gilmour recording of The Beatles‘ “Here There and Everywhere.”

Gilmour shared the recording, which he made with his son, Joe, with the magazine a couple of years ago. It’ll be included in the “David Gilmour & Friends” CD that ships with Mojo issue 263, on newsstands starting Aug. 25.

“I really wish I had been in The Beatles,” Gilmour tells Mojo. “[They] taught me how to play guitar, I learnt everything. The bass parts, the lead, the rhythm, everything. They were fantastic.”

The other tracks on the CD are from artists who have collaborated with Gilmour over the years, such as Robert Wyatt, Graham Nash, David Crosby, Ben Watt, The Orb, Phil Manzanara and others.

Gilmour is featured on a total of six of the tracks.

The issue also includes an interview with Gilmour.
