Ferrari owned by David Gilmour for sale
Posted June 24, 2017 by Floydian Slip
A 1988 Ferrari F40 Berlinetta first owned by David Gilmour will go on the auction block June 30.
The car, purchased by Gilmour in July 1988, is expected to fetch as much as £1 million at Bonhams’ Goodwood Festival of Speed auction.
Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason purchased a similar model at the same time as Gilmour at the Ferrari factory in Maranello, Italy, after Floyd’s Modena leg of its Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour. The pair are said to have driven them back to the U.K. following their purchase.
List price for the F40 in 1988 was £163,000. Just more than 1,300 were produced.
Though the car can reach a respectable 201 mph, its interior is spartan, sporting a pair of red body contour seats.
The auction takes place at Chichester, Goodwood.
See dozens of photos of the car at the Bohmans website.
“Dark Side” gold record sells for $25k
Posted June 23, 2017 by Floydian Slip
A Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) gold record for Pink Floyd’s “The Dark Side of the Moon” recently sold for $25,000.
The record, signifying $1 million in sales and once owned by Floyd’s Rick Wright, was sold at auction by Nate D. Sanders Auctions in Los Angeles. Minimum bid for the item was $20,000. The winner’s identity was not made public.
The framed record included a letter of authenticity from Wright’s first wife, Franka.
Wright’s platinum RIAA album for “The Wall” sold in 2005 for more than $40,000.
Starting with its inception in 1958, an album’s gold status was determined by $1 million in sales. That criterion was later amended to also require 500,000 units sold.
Album platinum status, created in 1976, indicates 1 million units sold.
One of the best-selling records in history, “Dark Side,” ironically, only achieved platinum status in 1990, because it was released three years before the platinum designation.
On June 4, 1998, the RIAA certified it 15× platinum.

Roger Waters album blocked in Italy
Posted June 21, 2017 by Floydian Slip
Sales of Roger Waters‘ new album “Is This the Life We Really Want” have been suspended in Italy over a claim of artwork plagiarism.
Italian artist Emilio Isgrò claims the redacted style of the artwork included with Waters’ album (top) infringes on his so-called “erasure technique” (bottom).
The album’s design is credited to Sean Evans, who also handled “creative direction” for the album; along with Danny Kamhaji and Dan Ichimoto.
Italian newspaper La Repubblica reports a Milan court has halted sales of the album, pending a hearing coming July 27.
