Latest issue of Italian/English Floyd fanzine Heyou now available
Just published is the latest issue (number 36 – cover date June 2021) of the Pink Floyd fanzine Heyou run by our friends over at the Italian website of the same name. The 52-page dual language magazine (in Italian and English), which is published every six months or so, catches up with things in the Floyd world. Unlike other recent issues of Heyou, the latest edition selects just two subjects as its major focuses, not least as 2020 ended up being a year where despite the planned tours from Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets and Roger Waters, very little happened due to the global pandemic. The first feature covers around two-thirds of the magazine, and is the second part of a detailed article looking at the run of Wall concerts in 1980/1981, focusing on exactly what happened during the shows. The article was put together in conjunction with Vernon Fitch, a name familiar to many of you as a Floyd fan with an encyclopaedic knowledge. The article is illustrated with some very interesting photographs of the concert, tickets, passes, and more. The coverage concludes with The Show Must Go On, suggesting that the next issue will include the final, third part of the analysis. Turning the clock back further, the magazine then focuses on the 1969 film, More, which the Floyd provided soundtrack music for. Their coverage includes contemporary reviews of the film, and a reprint of an interview conducted with Barbet Schroeder at the time. A review from Flood Magazine of the Pink Floyd Live At Knebworth 1990 release precedes the normal wrap up of the recent news that concludes every issue – not a huge amount this time, of course, due to the current situation. More details of the Heyou fanzine can be found at www.heyou.it/fsubscrbd.html (http://www.heyou.it/fsubscrbd.html), where you can get individual copies, and subscription enquiries (four issues costing 35 euros within Europe, and 45 euros outside Europe) should go to durgaheyou@libero.it (mailto:durgaheyou@libero.it?subject=Heyou%20enquiry%20from%20BD%20visitor) – make sure you mention Brain Damage when you write!

New issue of UK’s Prog magazine – in-depth feature on Pink Floyd’s Animals album
new issue (issue 116) of the UK’s Prog Magazine (https://www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/Prog-Print-Back-Issues/prog-issue-116/?listtype=list&searchparam=prog). Always a great read, this month’s issue – as made clear from the striking cover – has a major feature of particular interest to Pink Floyd fans. Inside the magazine is a fascinating ten-page analysis of the Floyd’s 1977 album, Animals. Coming after The Dark Side Of The Moon’s narrative flow, and Wish You Were Here’s evocative sound, Animals arrived at the height of the punk explosion in the UK, and tapped into the feelings of anger and injustice, with a sound and feeling at odds to WYWH, but in line with music emerging at the time. As Prog puts it, the album “captured the moment when Pink Floyd made the giant leap from lush to harsh, from a pillow of winds to cold shafts of broken glass”. The article pulls into sharp relief the background and inspiration for the album, and via some interesting insights from engineer Brian Humphries, much detail on the recording of the album and the then new Britannia Row Studios used for the album. There’s also a look at the reaction to the album, and the thoughts of the band members retrospectively on the project. Alongside the article, there’s a look at the background to the rare, sought after (and fun) French record store bins made out of plastic for the release, shaped like the album’s cover star; there’s an illuminating chat with Howard Bartrop, one of the photographers for the cover; and there’s a piece from Steven Wilson with his (very positive) views on Animals. Finally, there’s a look at the supposed Animals box set release, which from what Roger Waters noted, was to include a 5.1 surround mix of the album. Things have all gone quiet on that front, and they ponder on this, wondering if it is still to come in future. Elsewhere in the magazine are the normal range of features on other artists, the latest news, reviews and more. There’s also the results of the 2020 Readers’ Poll, and a cover-mounted, 11-track CD of new prog music. If your local store doesn’t stock this magazine, you can get a copy, shipped anywhere in the world, through this direct link (https://www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/Prog-Print-Back-Issues/prog-issue-116/?listtype=list&searchparam=prog).
Wall analysis and a Cambridge look at the early Pink Floyd
take-one.eu/movies/roger-waters-the-wall (https://take-one.eu/movies/roger-waters-the-wall). If you like what you read on there, or have comments or suggestions, Adamo will be glad to hear from you, and his email address is on the site. The other article of interest comes from Chris Rand, who edits a local residents magazine in Cambridge, and for a recent issue he wrote a 2000-word article on the origins of Pink Floyd in the streets around the Queen Edith’s area. In the story, there’s some original quotes from residents who knew Syd and Roger as kids. He said that “as a huge Floyd fan, it’s a story I’ve been itching to write for years!” You can read the article at the magazine’s website: queen-ediths.info/pink-floyd-queen-ediths-rock-legends (https://queen-ediths.info/pink-floyd-queen-ediths-rock-legends/). Our thanks to Adamo and Chris, and we hope you enjoy their articles. We always welcome contributions of any kind from our readership, so do please get in touch with anything!
