New “Wot’s … Uh the Deal” video features vintage photos

Posted March 25, 2017 by Floydian Slip

Pink Floyd has released a video for “Wot’s … Uh the Deal” to promote the just-released “Individual Volumes” from “The Early Years” boxset.

The clip features a montage of photos taken Feb. 23-29, 1972, at Strawberry Studios, Chateau D’Herouville, France, while the band was recording the soundtrack to the film “La Vallée.”

Due to a conflict with the film company, Floyd released the album under the title “Obscured by Clouds.”

Photos in the video were taken by Jean-Denis Mahn. The segment was produced and directed by Lana Topham and edited by Niven Howie. Audio was remixed from the original masters by Andy Jackson and Damon Iddins.

The “Obfusc/ation” box features a new remix of the entire “Obscured” album.

Yesterday Legacy Recordings/Pink Floyd Records released all six of the individual boxes from The Early Years collection, which came out last November.

Early “Interstellar Overdrive” to be released

Posted March 21, 2017 by Floydian Slip

Legacy Recordings will release an early, previously-unreleased version of Pink Floyd‘s “Interstellar Overdrive” on April 15.

Recorded Nov. 31, 1966, at Thomson Studio in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, the nearly-15-minute piece features Syd Barrett, Nick Mason, Rick Wright and Roger Waters.

A shorter version of the instrumental appeared on Floyd’s first album, “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn,” in August 1967.

The 12-inch one-sided single comes a week before Record Store Day; and will be available for sale at “Their Mortal Remains,” the massive Floyd exhibition opening at the Victoria & Albert’s Museum in London in May.

With artwork taken from an early UFO gig, the 180-gram disc will come with a fold-out poster and postcard featuring the group.

This recording would seem to pre-date the version featured in the Peter Whitehead film “Tonight Let’s All Make Love in London,” and available on the EP “Pink Floyd: London ’66-’67.” Clocking in at just less than 17 minutes, that version was recorded at London’s Sound Techniques on Jan. 11 and 12, 1967.

Post-performance report: “Another Brick in the Wall” opera

Posted March 12, 2017 by Floydian Slip

Last night in Montreal, “Floydian Slip” attended the premiere of “Another Brick in the Wall,” a new opera based on Pink Floyd’s “The Wall.”

The crowd outside the entrance of Place Des Arts‘ Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier theater grew steadily as we approached the 7:30 curtain time. Two or three television camera crews were there reporting on-scene, likely adding to the crowd as passers-by stopped to see what the commotion was.

Roger Waters arrived about 15 minutes before the performance and posed for photos with other production personnel on the red carpet. Inside, Waters sat in the center of the audience, receiving a standing ovation when we was acknowledged from the stage during pre-show announcements.

We enjoyed the show, and imagine other Floyd fans — opera beginners, like us, or otherwise — would, too.

The show runs through March 27.
