Pink Floyd’s The Division Bell, a limited release of the album in translucent blue, heavyweight vinyl as a 2LP set, is coming on June 7th, 2019 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B07QJ5WRF1/braindamage-21). It echoes the original limited blue vinyl release by Columbia Records in 1994. It will be joining the other albums released by the band’s new label – Pink Floyd Records – and will bear catalogue number PFRLP 31. Featuring the 2014 master by James Guthrie, Joel Plante and the late Doug Sax of the Mastering Lab, California, it comes as a double LP (as did the 2014 black vinyl release) to ensure all the songs are presented in full. The original 1994 single vinyl release required the songs to be edited to fit. As expected, the packaging is of high quality again; the records are housed in a gatefold sleeve with four different images of specially-created heads, and two full-colour lyric/image inner bags. On its original release, the album debuted at number 1 in the UK, US, Australian and New Zealand album charts, reaching the top spot in six other countries, and to date has sold over 12 million copies. At the time, David Gilmour said: The three of us went into Britannia Row Studios, and improvised for two weeks. Playing together and starting from scratch was interesting and exciting, it kick-started the album and the process was very good, it was collaborative and felt more cohesive.

Wish You Were Here – A People’s History of Pink Floyd
Wish You Were Here – A Peopleâs History of Pink Floyd is the title of a new book about the Floyd, although author Richard Houghton readily admits that the book isn’t entirely new, as it’s an update of an earlier work from 2017. The book tells the story of Pink Floyd through more than 500 eyewitness accounts, mixing concert memories with other encounters with the band. As well as stories from the beginnings of the band’s career and accounts of arena shows, there are a number of more intimate encounters. One example is the story of Norman Whitehall, who travelled with a friend to Bridgend in Wales to see Pink Floyd at the tiny Kee Club in March 1969, only to be told that they couldn’t get in because it was a members-only club. A disconsolate Norman wandered the streets with his friend until they bumped into the band themselves, who took pity on them and escorted them into the club and through to their dressing room, where band and fans shared a joint. Richard said: “I had a book entitled Pink Floyd – I Was There published in paperback, but that book has been out of print for a few years. I’ve managed to acquire the rights to the book and decided to republish it through my own company, Spenwood Books, and give the material in the book the treatment it deserves. The new book is coming out in hardback in a larger format, with full colour photos on high quality paper. I’ve also collected over 100 new accounts of seeing the Floyd live that weren’t in the original book. This includes several tales from the period when Syd was in the band. So it’s a fascinating look back at Pink Floyd as it’s their history told in the words of fans, and it provides a very different take on a story that’s been told many times before. Richard is still interested in hearing from anyone who saw Pink Floyd, particularly if they have a concert memory from the Sixties, and he can be reached at isawpinkfloyd@gmail.com. The deadline for fresh material is 31st May. Wish You Were Here – A Peopleâs History of Pink Floyd is published by Spenwood Books and is available to order now at SpenwoodBooks.com (https://spenwoodbooks.com/product/wish-you-were-here-a-peoples-history-of-pink-floyd/). Orders placed by 14th July will receive a 20% discount on the RRP of £30 and early bird purchasers will also be named as sponsors in the book.
