Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason and long-time recording engineer for the band Andy Jackson have told Billboard more reissues might be on the way following this month’s boxset of “The Wall.”
“The idea was always to see whether people like these things or not. If they do, of course we could do more,” Mason says.
“There’s quite a bit of very, very early stuff, before they had a deal, with Syd (Barrett) in the band when they were still trying to be an R&B band,” says Jackson, who’s been a major player behind the boards of the entire “Why Pink Floyd?” remaster campaign.
“It’s not, like, early versions of songs that turned up on their albums or anything. It’s R&B classics, the same as everybody else was playing back them,” he adds. “There’s a lot of recordings that may be brilliant for a future project.”

“The Wall” will be released Feb. 28.

This past Wednesday, Polly Samson, wife of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour, helped rescue a man drowning near the couple’s East Sussex home.
Reports vary, but Samson is said to have aided the man who was flailing in the sea and, who, after rescue, refused help by trying to return to the water.
The man, who was in his 40s, was eventually taken by police to Royal Sussex County Hospital for mental evaluation.
Gilmour and the couple’s 21-year-old son, Charlie, reportedly assisted in the rescue.
Samson is a writer and photographer.

Roddy Bogawa‘s documentary about Pink Floyd sleeve designer Storm Thorgerson will have its East Coast premiere next month at New York Museum of the Modern Art (MoMA).
The feature-length film, “Taken by Storm,” will be featured as part of MoMA’s two-week-long “International Festival of Nonfiction Film and Media,” beginning Feb. 16.
“Taken by Storm” debuted in March 2011 at the South by Southwest (SxSW) festival.
“Hoping that this screening will give the film a big push along to its distribution life — more screenings, perhaps theatrical release, DVDs and streaming,” Bogawa says.

Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters married long-time partner Laurie Durning last weekend in Southampton, N.Y.
Only six guests attended the ceremony held at the couple’s home, according to The New York Post.
Waters revealed the ceremony had taken place during an appearance on Howard Stern’s radio show this past week. It was originally believe to have been scheduled for this weekend.
Waters had announced in November that the couple planned to wed before his “The Wall” tour resumes next week in Australia.
He’s been married three times before: to Judy Trimm (1968 to 1975), Carolyne Christie (1976 to 1992) and Pricilla Phillips (1993 to 2001).
