We’ve put up for bid some interesting working tapes from the 2001 “Floydian Slip” interview with Pink Floyd recording engineer Andy Jackson.
These tapes were the result of assembling Jackson’s responses with our own re-recorded questions. Host Craig Bailey conducted the interview over the phone, without bothering to record the questions. Jackson recorded himself in a professional studio on his end for high fidelity, and mailed “Floydian Slip” a CD, which he’d burned at Astoria, David Gilmour‘s houseboat recording studio.
In addition to working with Floyd since “The Wall” movie (1982), Jackson’s an accomplished recording engineer who’s worked with Dream Academy and Boomtown Rats, among others.

Roger Waters has added a new final date to his tour of “The Wall,” which will be more than twice as big as any other show on the tour.
When the former Pink Floyd front-man performs at Quebec City’s Fields of Abraham on July 21, the wall will be more than 800 feet wide, more than twice the size of any other show on his revival tour of the show.
It’ll be the largest outdoor staging of his magnum opus since he performed it at the site of the former Berlin wall in 1990 on the same day: July 21.
Initial sales are reserved for those who’ve purchased admittance to the Festival d’été de Québec.
Festival fans can register online today at InfoFestival.com from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. for a drawing to purchase wristbands for the concert.

“When Your Life Is Your Own,” a recording Gilmour made with David Courtney, was first made available on CD when Courney’s 1975 “First Day” album was reissued as “First Day: The Complete Story” in spring 2010.
The new Courtney compilation, “The Show Must Go On,” will be made available June 11 in the U.K.; July 10 in the U.S.
Courtney’s first successes came as a songwriter for Leo Sayer and Adam Faith. As a producer, he’s done work with Roger Daltrey, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page.

Satellite radio company Sirius XM will debut The Pink Floyd Channel on May 25.
The 24/7 service devoted to the band will begin on Deep Tracks (Channel 27) May 25 through 28, and then move to Sirius Channel 142/XM Channel 43 from May 29 through July 9.
Starting June 29, the service will also be available online and through the company’s mobile app for “an extended period,” according to a news release.
The channel, hosted and curated by Jim Ladd, will feature music from Floyd as well as the band’s members.
Sirius XM has created temporary channels devoted to other artists in the past, such as Paul McCartney, The Who, Metallica, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and many others.
It appears uncertain whether The Pink Floyd Channel will become a permanent offering, such as the company’s channels devoted to Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Presley and Jimmy Buffet.
Come on in, Sirius XM … the water’s fine.
