The following contribution is from David Gaylor, a long-time friend of Brain Damage, who has often helped out with various things. He takes a look at filling in those empty spaces in his collection, and also poses some questions to the BD readership who might be able to help him in his quest. We are always delighted to get contributions, so if you want to write an article or review, feel free to send it our way! Now, over to David and his search for all things related to David Gilmour over the years… So, in light of the Covid pandemic restrictions, what does an obsessive vinyl collector do to fill his spare time? This collector decided to explore the back catalogue and discography of David Gilmour. The starting point was the very helpful list put together by Chris Job originally published many years ago in the long defunct printed Brain Damage magazine. Also available were more updated lists on the internet which indicated that David had performed across many formats over the years for a number of artists. His involvement ranged from producer to guest artist. The journey begins in the very late sixties and is still ongoing in 2021. With the internet, there is now easy access to retailers across the world, and plenty of information sources (some more reliable than others), making the task a little easier than the one Chris Job faced originally – and the list of items has grown steadily since then too! Many fans would know some of the more common guest appearances David has done over the years, but there are also plenty which have “flown under the radar” and few people are aware of. I decided it would be a challenge to find them and add to my collection all those tracks on which David Gilmour himself performs…
