The new edition has just arrived and it features the 50 greatest songs of Pink Floyd (a surprise in the top 10, and a few unusual ones lower down) plus a multi-page interview with Nick about the forthcoming NM shows.
I love the response to the question regarding what David and Roger think of it all -

Interesting, but who was the judge for their best songs? What was the criteria? I'll go out next week and possibly pick it up.
Did they make the cover?

David and Roger could easily join Nick to perform Pink Floyd tunes without taking the stage as Pink Floyd. It has been done before - you get the real thing, but without all the pressure. Think Six of the Best show in 1982 (Genesis plus Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett, playing Genesis).
Family Hospital crisis this month over and discharged resolved alive etc, so I still didn't get around to getting this yet. Get my skates on...
And it was my Mother in hospital, not me!
Big big thanks to twcc for providing me with a copy, it's a really positive article.
Most other articles about the band seem to have a "This happened" feel to them. Maybe it was the added Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets feature but it seemed really forward looking compared to say, the feature on The Wall from 1999.
Plus, off topic but really happy to see a little bit about Suede's new album which sounds the closest they've come to Prog! Took them long enough!
Picked a second hand copy , have to say I'm glad I did not pay the original price.Disapointed generally with the 50 songs chosen..seemed like tactic to boost sales.
