Anyway - I've registered so I can share something that I came across yesterday, in my garage - an interview with David Gilmour in the July 1978 edition of Beat Instrumental, coinciding with the release of his eponymous solo album.

Beat Instrumental was aimed at musicians and consequently there's some nerd content - some of the questions are about his stuff. But he talks a bit about Animals, Dark Side and the future of Pink Floyd as well.
The mag is a bit uneven so the scans are a bit funky, but it's readable. I should have ironed it first.
This is my favourite bit:

It's clear from the interview that the interviewer (Tom Stock by the way) has no knowledge whatever about The Wall even if Gilmour has. This would have taken place seven or eight months before Floyd started to record The Wall, and nearly two years before the Wall tour, which of course featured a large wall constructed between band and audience.
