Some rather wonderful news for all those of you in Greece… Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets are making not just one, but TWO stops in your country in June this year, as part of their delayed, and highly anticipated 2022 Echoes Tour!

In a surprise move, with no official announcement or fanfare, a dozen recordings of Pink Floyd live during the years 1970 – 1972 have quietly been released to the various streaming services. Whilst the sound quality in places leaves a little to be desired, much of it sounds great, and more importantly the recordings document a wonderful period of the band in concert. They find the band in fine form, having honed their craft so that many of the pieces performed enjoyed some extended improvisation and exploration. With one of the recordings coming from March 1972, there’s also an early rendition of The Dark Side Of The Moon. As many of you will know, that was an album which changed quite considerably from its initial outings, so an interesting one to listen to if you haven’t yet heard it. The full list of albums the band released as part of their surprise drop is as follows: They Came In Peace, Leeds University 28 February 1970 Washington University 16 November 1971
Live At Grosser Saal, Musikhalle, Hamburg, West Germany 25 February 1971
Mauerspechte, Berlin Sportpalast 5 June 1971

On February 18th, 2022, the Restored and Re-Edited version of Pink Floyd’s P.U.L.S.E. concert film (shot on 20th October 1994 at London’s Earls Court) is set to be released as a 2 Blu-ray or 2 DVD deluxe box set, with the return of the flashing LED on the spine (as seen on the original 1995 CD release) powered by replaceable AA batteries! These deluxe packages include music videos, screen films, documentaries, rehearsal footage and more, along with a 60 page booklet. On Pink Floyd’s social channels, they mention that, in an interview from 1995 with Mojo Magazine, Nick Mason talked about the flashing LED. “Essentially, it’s a device which we thought was entertaining. It’s an idea of Storm Thorgerson’s which related to Dark Side and the pulse, and it’s a live album so the box is “alive”. After that, in terms of seriously deep meanings, one might be struggling a bit.” The original flashing LED package is much loved by the fans, and the initial announcement video leads with the blink of the light. The new box sets will be designed for easy replacement of the 2 AA batteries; the UK release in 1995 was powered by one AA, but the packaging wasn’t designed in such a way that it was easy to change without some damage, albeit internally, to the sleeve. This time there shouldn’t be the same problem! TRACK LISTING:
