Mojo Magazine (cover date February 2023, issue number 351) (https://www.greatmagazines.co.uk/mojo-february-2023) features an absorbing, 13-page “50th Anniversary Special” focused on Pink Floyd’s 1973 masterpiece, The Dark Side Of The Moon. The magazine invites you to ‘join writers and musicians on a voyage inside its songs and stories: “It’s stood the test of time because of the spirit and emotion which went into it”. They hint at ‘New revelations! Myths explained! Kraftwerk implications!’ Articles within include PP Arnold talking about Clare Torry’s vocal performance on Great Gig In The Sky, Alan Parsons looking at his work on the album, former Kraftwerk member Kart Bartos giving a particularly interesting analysis of On The Run (with reference to their own Autobahn), and much more. There’s also an exclusive extract, looking at the story of the iconic sleeve design and the band during that era, from Mark Blake’s superb new book, Us And Them: The Authorised Story of Hipgnosis (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/latest/us-and-them-the-authorised-story-of-hipgnosis-new-book-c.html) which is published at the start of February. It should give you a taste of Blake’s book which we’re reading an early version of – it really will be an essential for your bookshelves! If you’re in the UK, a subscriber or ordering direct from them, there’s a suitably designed and wide-ranging Pink Floyd companion CD, featuring artists as diverse as Ron Geesin, Miles Davis, Love, The Butterfield Blues Band, Chuck Berry, Doris Troy (one of the vocalists on the album) and much more. Elsewhere in the magazine are features on Iggy Pop, Blur, some unseen pictures of Rolling Stones, a look at the 50 best buried treasures of 1972, and 2023 comprehensively previewed, amongst many other things. Always a great read, the magazine is due to arrive in UK stores around now, and will be available in selected locations worldwide as an import, in due course. Alternatively, you can order (worldwide) online through the Great Magazines website (https://www.greatmagazines.co.uk/mojo-february-2023) which is owned and run by the publishers of Mojo (and will secure you the cover-mounted CD as well!).
Originally released in 2011, and now hard to find (particularly on vinyl), the compilation An Introduction To Syd Barrett is getting a deserved reissue on 2nd December 2022 on 2LP – on heavyweight 180g vinyl – and on CD. The album is designed to provide a handy overview of this visionary talent, with an eighteen track collection taking in six early Pink Floyd songs, alongside twelve of Syd’s solo recordings. David Gilmour, who originally worked on Syd’s two solo albums, as co-producer of The Madcap Laughs and as producer of Barrett, was the executive producer for the album. Damon Iddins and Andy Jackson at Astoria Studios remixed five tracks including Octopus, She Took A Long Cool Look, Dominoes and Here I Go, with Gilmour adding bass guitar to the last track. Pink Floyd’s Matilda Mother also received a fresh 2010 mix. Both versions of the album feature the original 24-page booklet and graphics plus all lyrics, and was designed including the cover art by long time Pink Floyd associate the late Storm Thorgerson and his estimable studio. Here’s the track listing, with the side splits for the vinyl edition (the CD just has all eighteen tracks on one side):
SIDE ONE: Arnold Layne / See Emily Play / Apples And Oranges (Stereo Version) / Matilda Mother (2010 Mix)
SIDE TWO: Chapter 24 / Bike / Terrapin / Love You / Dark Globe
SIDE THREE: Here I Go (2010 Remix) / Octopus (2010 Mix) / She Took A Long Cool Look (2010 Mix) / If It’s In You / Baby Lemonade
SIDE FOUR: Dominoes (2010 Mix) / Gigolo Aunt / Effervescing Elephant / Bob Dylan Blues The album is reissued in the UK and Europe on 2nd December 2022, with North America/elsewhere following in due course.
