Lost David Gilmour Produced Unicorn Albums See The Light

The CDs ‘Blue Pine Trees’ and ‘Too Many Crooks’ will be released by premier reissue label Renaissance Records in conjunction with ItsAboutMusic.com on November 10th.

One of the guests was David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, who at the end of the evening got up and jammed with Unicorn on Neil Young’s “Heart of...
