An Exclusive Interview with John Edginton

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on by

Join us in our first video interview, featuring legendary filmmaker John Edginton!

John is best known to Pink Floyd fans for his documentaries, most notably 2001’s The Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story which aired on BBC TWO as part of their “Omnibus” series.

John is also known for 2012’s The Story of Wish You Were Here, which also aired on the BBC. Both documentaries have seen a physical release shortly after their airing and have since become favorites amongst the Pink Floyd fan community due to the fact how well they are put together and feature the band and family members in very intimate and personal interviews. Extended interviews can be seen on John’s Youtube channel which features loads of really great material from Pink Floyd and other legendary acts.

We had the honor of speaking with John about how he came to work with the Floyd, how he persuaded Roger Waters to do the Wish You Were Here documentary and he even answers some questions from some of our forum members! Its a packed albeit very laidback interview with loads of smiles. We hope you enjoy.

UK CD | MP3 | Blu-ray | Vinyl

My remix of Richard Wright’s ‘Wet Dream’ will be released on CD and streaming platforms on what would have been Richard’s 80th birthday, 28th July. Deep blue transparent marbled vinyl and blu-ray formats follow on 29th September. The blu-ray additionally includes 5.1 and Dolby Atmos mixes as well as never-before-seen personal archive videos. The new mix additionally includes 2 extra passages of music that were edited out of the original mix.

Most people know that Pink Floyd have always been my favourite band, so it was a real honour to be commissioned by Richard’s children Gala and Jamie Wright to remix this relatively underrated and beautiful entry in the Floyd canon. For anyone hearing the album for the first time it will become apparent just how much of Richard’s DNA runs through Pink Floyd. His distinctive rhythm patterns, signature keyboard sounds, vocals, jazz influences, and style of play exude throughout. All formats feature images and brand-new artwork commissioned and art-directed by Gala and Jamie and designed by Carl Glover. The original Hipgnosis artwork features in the vinyl booklet. – Steven Wilson
