Brazilian Release for Pigs Might Fly: The Inside Story Of Pink Floyd by Mark Blake

A Portugese translation of Pigs Might Fly: The Inside Story Of Pink Floyd by Mark Blake is due for publication in Brazil on 5 March 2012. The book, now titled ‘Nos Bastidores Do Pink Floyd’, is published by Evora and has been rush-released to coincide with Roger Waters’ upcoming tour dates in Argentina and Brazil. The book is an excellent and evenly handled document of the history of Pink Floyd and is updated to post Syd Barrett’s untimely death. It is an enjoyable read and features opinions gleaned from 100s of interviews with people that have been part of the Pink Floyd history and had friendships with the band over the years. Mark Blake has interviewed David Gilmour and Roger Waters over the years for various magazine pieces he has written for the likes of MOJO magazine and he has used this first hand knowledge for the book. There are...

Pink Floyd Wall Demos

I am rather looking forward to listening to Pink Floyd The Wall demos in The Wall Immersion boxset to be released next month on 27th Feb in UK and 28th in other countries around the Americas and Eurasia. I wrote a little article looking at the contents of the immersion edition of The Wall called… A Fleeting Glimpse of… Pink Floyd’s The Wall Demos Feel free to have a read of the article to see what is where and on which disc. Its as much for my benefit as anything else to help my poor old mind get to terms with how the powers that be organised the material on the album discs 5 and 6.

Special Offer in Pink Floyd Facebook Store

On the Official Pink Floyd Facebook page, there is a special offer on for Facebook fans only. If you purchase a copy of Dark Side of the Moon or Wish You Were Here Immersion box sets, then you will be given a vinyl as a bonus. More details here. I should imagine this will upset one or two people who have paid all that money for the boxset already and could have had a vinyl too. I should imagine the people shelling out nearly £90 for these are life-long fans who are probably also audio enthusiasts and would very much be interested in the Vinly included with the Immersion boxset. But hey, that is the way it is! The Wall is next up for the Immersion treatment which is out on the 27th February 2012 so take a look at the list below and take your pick!   Immersion Editions...

Pink Floyd at London 2012 Olympics?

Pink Floyd at London 2012 Olympics?

Seems the Pink Floyd rumour mill is hotting up for 2012 with predictions by some news outlets that Pink Floyd may be performing at the London 2012 Olympics. As much as I would like to see that happen, I think it very unlikely they would. However, the closing ceremony is 12th August I believe so Roger is not touring at that point as far as officially announced dates go and he did say in a Rolling Stone interview last month that he is performing in August 2012. Who knows! Pink Floyd last got together for Live 8 with Roger Waters joining old band mates from Pink Floyd David Gilmour, the late Rick Wright and Nick Mason. It would be nice for them to get back together again but Nick Mason said last year they would only do it for a good cause. The olympics is not a “good cause” as...

Pink Floyd News is few and far between now that they are not a touring band nor releasing new material in the form of studio albums. This is a consequence of being a fan of “old music”. This is a terrible shame. I would like nothing more than to report the Pink Floyd news that Roger Waters has joined old band mates Nick Mason and David Gilmour to do another Pink Floyd album in 2012/2013. Now that would be excellent Pink Floyd news indeed! Due to Pink Floyd news being hard to come by, I am sure many of you would like to find out as soon as things are announced. There are three main methods to do this. There is Pink Floyd News on our homepage, our Pink Floyd News Letter and Pink Floyd Social Media for news on Twitter and Facebook.
