Just announced, and available to order immediately (with a release date of Friday, March 5th), is Pink Floyd The Dark Side of the Moon EMI Tape Box Folio â Side One (https://shop.abbeyroad.com/*/*/Pink-Floyd-i-The-Dark-Side-of-the-Moon-i-EMI-Tape-Box-Folio-Side-One/6VJM0000000), a limited edition of 250 replica prints that reveals the rarely seen The Dark Side of the Moon Quadrophonic discrete master â Side One EMI tape box, held deep within the EMI archive. Recording of the album began in May 1972 in Studio Two at EMI Studios (as Abbey Road was known), using the iconic EMI TG12345 MK IV console. Abbey Road was to become Pink Floyd’s home for 38 days over a seven-month period, as they embarked on the creation of what, for many, would be their defining work. The print shows Side One of the album, which was recorded in Studios Two and Three at Abbey Road, with Alan Parsons and Peter James noted as the project’s engineers. The Dark Side of the Moon was released in the US on March 1st, 1973, and the UK on March 16th, and whilst it never received a UK number 1 position, it went on to break various records and become an iconic release, known the world over. The tape contained within this box was exclusively manufactured by EMI. The boxes at the time the album was recorded were aqua blue with an ‘atomic’ image made up of three superimposed images of tape reels, which is the cover you see in this folio. Many of these tape boxes, including The Dark Side of the Moon, are now stored at the EMI Archives, in Hayes, London. This is an exclusive collaboration between Pink Floyd and Abbey Road Studios. Each handmade folio is numbered and includes a 500gsm box card black folder (37cm x 37cm with a 5cm lip) which encases the two replica litho prints (30cm x 30cm), recreated in exact life size dimensions and cradled with transparent corner holders. Alongside this, it includes a leaflet looking back at the recording of The Dark Side of the Moon and a certificate of authenticity. Here’s a video looking at the folio, which can be ordered now while stocks last at shop.AbbeyRoad.com (https://shop.abbeyroad.com/*/*/Pink-Floyd-i-The-Dark-Side-of-the-Moon-i-EMI-Tape-Box-Folio-Side-One/6VJM0000000).

Pink Floyd artwork included in ‘Storm Warning’ Exhibition now running
For those of you in or near to the beautiful Cambridgeshire city of Ely, there’s an exhibition on at the moment which sounds well worth checking out – so, our thanks to Gary Summers for letting us know! ‘Storm Warning’ is a fascinating exhibition of around 50 pieces of Storm Thorgerson and his studio’s album work; these are more recent, 90âs onwards designs, but include plenty of Floyd. All are for sale and are original limited edition prints, some signed by Storm, with StormStudio’s team signing others. The exhibition is being held in the Haddenham Arts Centre, a small village 5 miles outside Ely, until the end of October. As the centre is manned purely by volunteers, and in these days where the arts are struggling hugely, it’s good to give encouragement and patronage where possible (they have a cafe on site too!). The Haddenham Arts Centre website has details of opening times, directions, etc., and once we’re able to put weblinks and images back into our newly added news items, we’ll include these too! (thanks for your patience regarding this current issue)

Pink Floyd The Later Years box set – release date moved
Click here for the track listing of the box set (http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/miscellaneous-articles/pink-floyd-the-later-years-1987-2019-box-set-track-li-2.html). For those who need reminding, let’s take a look at what is on offer. Looking at the largest item first, the box set, this consists of 5 CDs in a 60-page hardback book, 6 Blu-rays and 5 DVDs, each in gatefold wallets, 2 7 vinyl singles with material never released, a 40-page hardback photo book, replica tour programmes, and a reproduction memorabilia collection. The box set offers over six hours of previously unheard audio and over seven hours of previously unseen audiovisuals from A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, The Division Bell and The Endless River albums. The CDs take in the 2019 remix of A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, a 2019 remix of Delicate Sound Of Thunder, a disc of live B-sides and unreleased material from The Division Bell, and a new remix of the 1990 Knebworth concert. With AMLOR, the album is presented for the first time in 5.1, and has been updated and remixed by David Gilmour and Andy Jackson. The release of The Later Years project gives an opportunity for a fresh overview of this album. By returning to some of Richard Wright’s keyboard parts and recording new drum tracks with Nick Mason, producers David Gilmour and Bob Ezrin have restored the creative balance between the three Pink Floyd members. The Blu-rays include 5.1 surround sound mixes of the above, as well as The Division Bell, a restored and remixed Delicate Sound of Thunder and includes additional tracks not on the original release, a re-edited PULSE, the full Venice 1989 and Knebworth 1990 concert films (Knebworth includes Great Gig In The Sky), along with music videos, the full range of tour screen films (including the very amusing Money screen film from 1994 with a very retro looking alien complete with ray gun), documentaries, and a new film by Ian Emes for The Endless River album. The DVDs replicate the above material with the exception of the surround sound mixes, which are only on the Blu-rays. The two 7 vinyl singles host two previously unreleased songs – Arnold Layne from the 2007 Syd Barrett tribute concert at the Barbican, and Lost For Words recorded at the rehearsals for the 1994 Earls Court shows. The double vinyl LP and CD highlights packages bring together a flavour of the full set, taking in tracks from Knebworth, The Division Bell sessions, the Momentary Lapse remix, Delicate Sound and more. This has different artwork to the box set. For another sneak preview (previously, we shared on this site Wish You Were Here from the Knebworth 1990 concert, and the early version of High Hopes), here’s another song from The Later Years that is now available to hear – the 2019 remix of One Slip, which BD’s Ed Lopez-Reyes has talked about on our site in a separate review: ORDERING INFORMATION:

New book: Pink Floyd in De Kuip ’88
Pink Floyd in De Kuip ’88 (https://www.floydstuff.com/product/4143915/pink-floyd-pink-floyd-in-de-kuip-88-holland-book), all aspects of the preparations – which took almost a year – are covered, with a lot of previously unpublished archive and photo material. It gives a fascinating look behind the scenes of the realization of the concerts in Stadion Feijenoord, as De Kuip is officially called. Spitfires that fly past and only take off in Rotterdam, props that fly over, fireworks and a breathtaking audiovisual spectacle. But above all a story of ‘deeds not words’ and for the almost 100,000 people present – and many outside the stadium – two evenings to remember. The book – which is being published on June 11th, 2021 – will be a luxury bound hardcover edition, with 112 pages on heavyweight paper. It’s a limited and numbered edition of 500, which we understand is already half-way to be completely sold, so if you are interested, don’t delay! You can place your order at Floydstuff.com (https://www.floydstuff.com/product/4143915/pink-floyd-pink-floyd-in-de-kuip-88-holland-book) now.
