Two current German music magazines feature Pink Floyd

With thanks to Michael Nickel, we have two bits of news aimed principally at our friends in Germany. In that country’s stores at the moment are two magazines which may well take your interest. The first is Classic Rock Magazine (cover date September 2020), which has a multiple page report on the genesis of Pink Floyd’s 1983 album, The Final Cut – the last with Roger Waters still in the band. “Pink Floyd: The last common litter and THE FINAL CUT” delves deep into the background of the album. Elsewhere in the magazine is a major feature on Genesis, looking at their album, Selling England By The Pound. More details including ordering online through ClassicRock.net (https://classicrock.net/produkt/classic-rock-nr-92-genesis-auf-dem-absoluten-hoehepunkt-mit-selling-england-by-the-pound-ausgabe-09-20-september-2020-inkl-cd/). The other magazine that you might want to pick up is Rolling Stone’s German edition (again with a cover date of September 2020). In an article headed “Pink Floyd: This crazy diamond”, they take a multiple page look at the genesis of a different album – in their case (and hinted to by the title of the article) it is 1975’s Wish You Were Here, which they describe as “a sublime album about the burning of youth – and a hymn to the lost Syd Barrett”. Jimi Hendrix is featured elsewhere in the magazine, and indeed Jimi is the cover star.
