Newspaper Scans - Richard Wright's Death

[Keith Jordan]

Does anybody have any scans from newspapers from their countries to stick in the NPF Photo Gallery to see how it is being reported around the world? Can anyone send me any?


EDIT - I shall be posting any scans people send here......

The one I read in this mornings paper cited Rick, Roger and Nick as the original founders of Pink Floyd and never a mention for Syd so I don't think you need that one Keith

[Keith Jordan]

I think that would be one of the best ones actually!! Great talking point!

[Stephen]

Ok I'll scan it for you shortly.

[Keith Jordan]

Cheers ears!

EDITE - I just bought the sun, mirror, daily express, guardian and telegraph and will scan those. If anyone else has any more, then please scan them for NPF.

The one I read in this mornings paper cited Rick, Roger and Nick as the original founders of Pink Floyd and never a mention for Syd ...

Roger Nick and Rick did form the band soon to be known as Pink Floyd
Syd joined later, he was either still in Cambridge or busking round Europe with Dave at this time
but Syd did name the band once he joined

say where was Rick from? we all know which Floyds were from Cambridge but I never heard much about Ricks origins
I gather he met Roger and Nick at architecture school but he wasnt much interested in architecture himself

Richard Wright was born on 28th July 1943 in Hatch End, London.

You should be getting that scan any second Keith.

You should be getting that scan any second Keith.

[Stephen]

Too late, you missed it.

Stu! Long time no see.

[Keith Jordan]

Excellent man, Stu! You also provided most of the Barrett ones too. Excellent stuff. There are a few there I dont have so much appreciate you sharing those. You can download the ones I have too once I add them to the gallery. I think I will share the lot in one zip file on the forum at full resolution and scale them down a little for the photo gallery.

There definitely wasn't anything in my wonderful local newspaper The Dayton Daily News. What a worthless waste of paper!!!

I wonder if I can find a USA Today? That should have something noted about Rick's death. If I find a copy, I will scan it for you Keith, unless someone else has access to it????

[Keith Jordan]

Stu and Robert... you ahve both sent me scans for the Daily Mail and they are both different? Were there two? Can one of you confirm which is the one from the Mail as there seem to be crossed wires somewhere??
