New Book: Pink Floyd – The Animals Tour – A Visual History By Glenn Povey

A new book by celebrated author Glenn Povey is on the way concerning Pink Floyd’s Animals Tour. There are three editions, the Hardcover £35, the Signed Hardcover £50, and a deluxe boxset £99 with some extra goodies in. Glenn is rather the authority in documenting Pink Floyd’s history and has published many excellent books. Order here and discuss here. Deluxe boxset contains: Hardback Book Repro Memorabilia Signed and numbered certificate Animals was Pink Floyd’s 10 th studio album, released almost 10 years on from their psychedelic debut that launched the band on to the world stage. But this release couldn’t be farther from The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn if you tried: It was a hard-hitting politically charged heavy rock album. Its three central pieces, ‘Pigs (Three Different Ones)’, Dogs’ and ‘Sheep’ each extending to over 10 minutes each drew parallels with George Orwell’s dystopian nightmare Animal Farm. Its...

Rock Legends Record Pink Floyd’s Animals Album in its Entirety in Animals Reimagined

Following the wildly successful Still Wish You Were Here project released earlier this year, another gathering of classic, prog and art rock superstars have come together to recreate and reimagine Pink Floyd’s ambitious 1977 concept album, Animals! Fusing the white-hot guitar work of Floyd guitarist David Gilmour with the stone-cold cynicism of Roger Water’s lyrics, Animals is widely hailed by die-hard Floyd fans as one of the group’s most highly conceptual and uncompromising albums of their career, and certainly set the template for the commercial breakthrough that would come two years later with 1979’s The Wall.  Now, some of the most veteran players and singers on the planet including jazz-rock guitar legend Al Di Meola, psych-rock godfather Arthur Brown, drum master Billy Cobham, UFO’s Vinnie Moore, Bauhaus’s David J, Dream Theater’s James LaBrie, and so many more come to give their unique spins to this magnum opus. Each track of...

Pink Floyd Animals 2022 Release Date

The remix of Pink Floyd’s Animals album has been suffering from a serious delay in being released since 2018 due to the arguments over the liner notes. However, it would seem there is an end in sight in terms of the official release date of this much anticipated record. At the Los Angeles incarnation of the Mortal Remains immersive exhibition, there is a little display with a plaque with details of the release date on. Now, given the literally years of delays, don’t get your hopes up but… it is looking like June 2022! Mortal Remains Exhibition Images, thanks to Mikael Vinyl. If you can’t wait until then to have something new from Pink Floyd, then don’t forget the new remix of A Momentary Lapse of Reason is available this month. It will be interesting to see if this and the Animals releases get to number one in the charts....

David Gilmour and Polly Samson Rolling Stone Interview (New album, Tour, Roger Argument)

David Gilmour, and his long time collaborator and lyricist Polly Samson, have done an interview with Rolling Stone magazine which you can read online. The interview focuses on Polly’s work on her novel A Theatre for Dreamers, but also covers lots of other ground including the dispute surrounding Animals 2018 remix which “David’s former lyricist” Roger Waters had things to say about. David Gilmour vs Roger Waters Lets get this element of the story out the way first, then we can focus on happier thoughts. Given all the suffering going on in the world, its a bit daft to be bickering like this. Put “credit” and “ego” to one side and focus on the future! It says in the Rolling Stone interview that it was done in “late May” and then published on 7th June. As we know, Roger went berserk on 1st June regarding the liner notes issue for...

Animals 5.1 & Stereo Remixes to be Released Soon, Plus Roger’s Broadside on David Gilmour

The much delayed 5.1 remix of Pink Floyd’s Animals album is due to be released soon much to our relief. The project has been sat on a shelf according to Roger Waters in his latest video update on the project. Apparently the liner notes written by Mark Blake, and edited by Roger, did not get the approval from David Gilmour that Roger was looking for. Hence the project, due in 2018, is now ready for release without the liner notes included as a compromise. For those interested to see what the liner notes said, Roger has shared them, along with some information about the memoirs he is working on. Roger attacked David and Polly last year about the “Von Trapped” business and him not being allowed to access the 30 million followers on Facebook that the official Pink Floyd account has. Roger has done a little more attacking in his...

Watch These Roger Waters Videos, They Look and Sound Amazing

Roger Waters has kept busy over the Covid period, and has invested time and effort into entertaining his fans around the world, bringing people together with the music. He has also been a keen political activist and, people who follow that kind of thing, will no doubt be aware of the positions he adopts on various topics. That said, Roger has re-recorded some of this fantastic material and made it available for people to enjoy online, which I suggest we do right now, with the videos below, from Roger, his band and team. Thanks guys! The Gunner’s Dream Mother Vera/Bring The Boys Back Home Dogs [From Us + Them DVD] And to finish on, here is a short preview of Dogs, from the Us + Them tour, which was absolutely stunning to watch live at Liverpool Echo Arena (and other places around the world of course).
