For the 2019 Record Store Day, one of the more popular and sought after releases was a new mono edition of Pink Floyd’s second album, A Saucerful Of Secrets, released in 1968. This followed one year on from the equally popular mono edition of The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, the band’s superb 1967 debut album, released as part of the 2018 RSD. The mono mix on the album was remastered in 2017 from the original mono analogue tapes by James Guthrie, Joel Plante and Bernie Grundman. For those who missed out on this one-day-only release (which came with a Pink Floyd Records catalogue number of PFRLP29), we brought you some great news about this release, back in March. Well, the day has come! This excellent sounding mix is out on heavyweight 180 gram vinyl TODAY, April 29th 2022. It comes with the classic cover (with a removable sticker, featuring a great shot of the band), as per the picture shown here. The record labels mimic the original Columbia records labels. It has a catalogue number of PFRLP30, for those who are keeping track of all those – and we know a few people who are doing just that!

Covering the material and stories featured in The Later Years box set, the episodes are split into four key themes from the band’s career from 1987 to the present day, delving into the multi-faceted elements of Pink Floyd’s creative output: The Studio
David talks about the band’s return to the jam sessions in the recording studio and embracing new technology when faced with mountains of new advances in synthesisers and other instruments. Artwork
David tells of his ideas for the band’s artwork including how his simple sketch of a single, empty bed was transformed by the artist Storm Thorgerson into the epic image of hundreds of beds on the cover of A Momentary Lapse of Reason. Live Performances
How the band were preparing for the terrifying prospect of the upcoming tour, only added to by
the enormous pressure facing them whilst rehearsing in a massive aircraft hangar at Toronto
airport. Unreleased New Material from the box set
David talks about the many hours of new and rare material included in The Later Years, his memories jogged by watching footage of the band flying around in promotional airships over Miami beach, watching hapless swimmers surrounded by sharks.

Jokers Wild (with David Gilmour) tracks appear on Spotify
An unusual pair of items have appeared today on Spotify and also Deezer (and maybe other streaming services too) – a pair of tracks from David Gilmour’s early band Jokers Wild. You Don’t Know Like I Know was one of a pair of songs, with That’s How Strong My Love Is, that were recorded at Decca Studios in Hampstead in November 1965, and were produced by David and Dave Altham. These two recordings are separate from the five track album (and 7″ single) recorded shortly before, at Regent Sounds Studio in Denmark Street – that consisted of Why Do Fools Fall In Love?, Walk Like A Man, Don’t Ask Me What I Say, Big Girls Don’t Cry and Beautiful Delilah. All those tracks are fairly easy to find in various places, although originals (50 were pressed) are extremely scarce and pricey. Here’s both of the newly unearthed recordings: We’re not sure why there’s so much blank space around each of the song players…which might only be on selected browsers anyway…
