A multi-media, deluxe box set, Pink Floyd The Later Years presents an expanded view of the Pink Floyd story from 1987 to the present and kicks off with A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, the album that confirmed Pink Floyd as one of the world’s biggest artists.

The album, presented for the first time in 5.1, has been updated and remixed by David Gilmour and Andy Jackson. The release of The Later Years project gives an opportunity for a fresh overview of the A Momentary Lapse Of Reason album. By returning to some of Richard Wright’s keyboard parts and recording new drum tracks with Nick Mason, producers David Gilmour and Bob Ezrin have restored the creative balance between the three Pink Floyd members.

Highlights of Pink Floyd The Later Years include:
Restored and remixed Delicate Sound Of Thunder on Blu-ray, DVD and 2-CD;
Restored and re-edited Pulse on Blu-ray for the first time;
Previously unreleased Venice concert (Blu-ray & DVD) and Knebworth concert (remixed/re-edited on Blu-ray/DVD/CD);
Unseen documentaries, screen films, promo clips and the previously unreleased Endless River film.

With the help of Nick Mason and the Pink Floyd archive, the box set comes with reproductions of tour artwork, posters, programmes, tour laminates, lyric book and much more, including two 7″ vinyl singles, (the live version of Arnold Layne performed at the Syd Barrett Tribute Concert in 2007 and Lost For Words from the ‘Pulse’ tour rehearsals at Earl’s Court), in new picture sleeves and etched image B-sides. Also included is a brand new 60-page hardback book of photos, designed by Aubrey Powell of Hipgnosis and Peter Curzon of StormStudios, including many previously unseen images.

New Fourth Edition of The Black Strat now available

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on 20/08/2019 by Col T20/08/2019

Phil Taylor, guitar technician to David Gilmour for some 45 years, has released an updated Fourth Edition of his book ‘The Black Strat: A History Of David Gilmour’s Black Fender Stratocaster’

“After 49 years of ownership, The Black Strat, David Gilmour’s iconic black Fender Stratocaster, was auctioned for charity at Christie’s New York in June 2019, along with 124 more of his instruments. The auction raised an incredible sum for David’s chosen charity, ClientEarth, an environmental law charity, with The Black Strat guitar itself becoming the world’s most expensive guitar. The fourth edition of Phil Taylor’s heavily illustrated book encapsulates the entire history of the instrument, from it’s origins through to just before the recent auction and is available now, exclusively from Amazon.”

The book is a fantastic deep dive in to the history of the famous instrument. It’s full to the brim with technical details, stories from the studio and on the road, as well as plenty of photographs.

Having been out of print for some time now, it’s great to see the updated book available once again.

Head over to the official website for more information or straight to Amazon to order your own copy!

He will join such luminaries as Tony Banks, Jon Anderson, Carl Palmer and Peter Gabriel.

In an interview with Prog Magazine, Mason said “I’m all in favour of recognition for drummers, particularly when it’s me, so I’m really delighted to be recognised as Prog God. It’s hard to believe that it was over 50 years ago that the music we know as prog rock was born, and it’s still being celebrated, played and developed in the 21st century. Long may it continue!”

The 2019 Progressive Music Awards will take place on the 12th of September at the Underglobe Theatre in London.

Make sure to grab a copy of Prog Magazine on October 25th for the full list of winners. Check out their website for updates on the night.
