Pink Floyd Live Ultimate Companion from Uncut Magazine

The makers of Uncut Magazine have an ultimate guide to Pink Floyd live performances between 1966 to 1981. What is it? It’s a premium 124-page magazine, telling the story of Pink Floyd’s greatest music through the prism of their stage performances, 1966-1981. We tell the story, dive deep into the music (official and unofficial) and dig into the archives of NME and Melody Maker to reveal what the band were saying about their activity at the time. The magazine is currently at the printers I am told and will be out shortly (April 27th) so watch this space and feel free to discuss on the forum.

Pink Floyd Release a New Song for Ukraine

Pink Floyd are releasing a new single in support of the people of Ukraine entitled Hey Hey Rise Up. The single will be available on all streaming and download platforms from midnight tonight. This is the first new original music that they have recorded together as a band since 1994’s The Division Bell. The track sees David Gilmour and Nick Mason joined by long-time Pink Floyd bass player Guy Pratt and Nitin Sawhney on keyboards and features an extraordinary vocal performance by Andriy Khlyvnyuk of Ukrainian band Boombox. The track, recorded last Wednesday (30th March), uses Andriy’s vocals taken from his Instagram post of him singing in Kyiv’s Sofiyskaya Square. The song itself, The Red Viburnum In The Meadow, is a rousing Ukrainian protest song written during the first world war which has been taken up across the world over the past month in protest of the invasion of Ukraine....

There is plenty news going on at the moment so here is a quick news roundup of all the things that are happening in once neat place! Ukraine Response We tend not to focus on politics here at NPF because we are generally about the music which is often used by many of us to escape the reality of the day! Normally, Roger Waters is getting involved in something and posting things on the internet, which is not always to everyone’s liking. Russia invaded Ukraine with support from Belarus, and digital music has been withdrawn by Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett, David Gilmour and Roger Waters chose to engage with the topic in other ways here, here and here.

Pink Floyd’s Saucerful of Secrets Mono LP Release for April 2022

Pink Floyd will release the remastered Mono LP of their second album Saucerful of Secrets on April 29th 2022. This follows the recent release of Piper at the Gates of Dawn mono LP, which was released earlier this month. The original mono mix of Pink Floyd’s A Saucerful Of Secrets, remastered by James Guthrie, Joel Plante & Bernie Grundman from the 1968 analogue tapes, is released on heavyweight 180g vinyl (following its limited Record Store Day 2019 outing). It’s the Floyd’s only album to feature all five band members after Syd Barrett was replaced by David Gilmour. Pre-Order from Amazon now I wonder what other LPs are in the works? In an age of all these digital downloads, it is nice to just switch off the mobile devices and just sit and listen to a nice vinyl. What a great event.
