Last weekend, the BBC’s long running and much loved Antiques Roadshow had a segment of interest. The show features normal members of the public going along to a “roadshow” that the BBC puts on in various places (stately homes, for example) with family heirlooms, items they’ve collected, and such like. The resident experts then talk about the items (often explaining detail about objects that the owner previously was unaware of) and give a valuation. Occasionally, there are music-related items and as you’ll see from the clip here, a March 1967 Pink Floyd poster, for their appearance at Enfield College of Technology, was included, alongside a promotional brochure about the band, and an early single. The clip is hosted by the BBC and hopefully you’ll all be able to view it – apologies if they aren’t allowing it to be seen in your region.

Limited edition DSOTM replica tape box print from Abbey Road Studios
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).

Lee Harris interviewed re: Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets
A new podcast has started up, called Fingal’s Cave, which is aimed at “all true Pink Floyd fans” with a focus
on more in-depth subjects related to the band. As Ian Priston, co-host with Nils Zehnpfennig, alludes to in the first episode, it’s not really a podcast aimed at the Floyd novice! In the second episode, Nils meets Lee Harris, co-founder and guitarist with Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets. As the podcast description neatly summarises, “Lee recalls being a fan of Pink Floyd from an early age, trips to Kensington and Camden markets in London to buy bootlegs and his memories of Floyd Xmas Mix ’93. Other highlights of the hour include, the story of how the Saucers were formed, Roger Waters’ performance in New York when he joined the band for Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, and Lee’s experience of the famous concert in Luxembourg 2018.” A really great listen and well worth checking out. You can listen to it in full below, or via your favourite podcast platform such as Apple, Spotify or Amazon. Visit fingalscavepodcast.com (https://www.fingalscavepodcast.com) for more details of their offering.
