Orders are now being taken for the latest limited edition book from our good friends at Floydstuff.com (https://www.floydstuff.com/product/8818296/pink-floyd-any-colour-you-like-the-dark-side-of-the-moon-on-vinyl-book), which sounds like another essential item for the Floydian bookshelves, particularly for those who have a decent Pink Floyd record collection, and who are looking to build it. Some of you, we know, concentrate on specific aspects of the band’s career, so this might be ideal for some of you. Pink Floyd – Any Colour You Like: The Dark Side Of The Moon on Vinyl – an English language, 176 pages in full-colour, printed on heavyweight 170gms paper (22x22cm) book, will be published on March 1st, 2023, to coincide with the 50th anniversary month of the band’s best-known album. The book is signed, numbered and limited to 500 copies only. The publishers say: “Any Colour You Like â The Dark Side Of The Moon On Vinyl is the result of Stefano Tarquini’s lifelong quest and gathers together the 700 currently known variations of Pink Floyd’s masterpiece on record. They are all there, from the first March 1973 UK edition with solid blue prism labels, to the most obscure pressings from Nicaragua and Mozambique and everything in between. “Each country has its entry with all known releases â test pressings, promotional copies, stock copies and mispressings â clearly arranged in chronological order with all necessary specifications, and complemented by a thousand images of labels and packaging details. The book deliberately refrains from a valuation of the various pressings as nothing is more subjective and volatile than the value of records. “Author Stefano Tarquini, Mr Pinky as he is lovingly known, has spent a major part of his life collecting records by Pink Floyd. His eye for detail and knowledge of the band’s official output on vinyl since 1967 makes him a grateful source of information for fellow collectors and countless publications in Italy and all over the world. He is the founder of the Italian collectors club The Lunatics and has curated various online resources dedicated to the band including the Mr Pinky Discography.” All copies pre-ordered from Floydstuff.com (https://www.floydstuff.com/product/8818296/pink-floyd-any-colour-you-like-the-dark-side-of-the-moon-on-vinyl-book) come with a tote bag and author-signed coaster as long as stock lasts. Previous titles from this publisher have been excellent, and have sold out quickly, so if you fancy securing a copy, we suggest you do so soon.

Nick Mason talks about the Saucerful Of Secrets set list
Our friend José Abellán of the Spanish Animals Pink Floyd Magazine (http://www.animalspinkfloydmagazine.com) has just completed a special edition of the publication, which focuses on Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets (more details below), and as part of it, he had the opportunity to ask Nick some questions about the current tour. Thanks to José, we can share the English version of the interview, here… ‘Echoes’ is the name given to this tour. After Richard Wright’s death in 2008, David Gilmour said that he would not play this song again because it was a dialogue between him and Wright. Nick, how do you feel about this song? I totally disagree with David on this. David couldn’t imagine… well, In 2008 no one had any idea that this was going to happen, and I think that this is a really important celebration of some of Rick’s playing and it would be a tragedy to not play it. I believe respect is to play it. We don’t particularly agree on that. We decide what we think is good for us, I guess. You have already said that you don’t see the point in playing the same songs that the fans already listen to at David Gilmour and Roger Waters concerts. What will the show be like and what songs will be played at the concerts in Spain? The biggest difference is that we are working on the early Pink Floyd catalogue and it’s very different to what Roger does with The Wall and David as well. Someone said we are an old style garage band and have to be a lot more in the spirit of Pink Floyd in 1967, 1968, 1969; the music should be a bit freer, and we should be able to improvise a little bit. The music is generally taken from what we made before 1972 so that includes Piper, ah, Saucerful Of Secrets and Meddle as well as some of the least well known singles. I think for people who remember these, there is an element of nostalgia but I hope that for people who really don’t know very much of old Pink Floyd will enjoy it but also see how the ideas developed over the years.
