In celebration of Record Store Day 2020 (April 18th) Pink Floyd and Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets have some new releases lined up.

Pink Floyd will have a one-sided 7″ vinyl single of Arnold Layne, recorded live at the Syd Barrett Tribute Concert in 2007. This was the last live performance of Pink Floyd to feature David, Nick and Rick (along with Jon Carin and Andy Bell).

The 2007 ‘Madcap’s Last Laugh‘ Tribute Concert was held a year after Syd’s passing, featuring a number of artists performing Syd’s songs.

Similar to The Later Years 1987-2019, the B-side will feature an etching matching the new art work on the sleeve. The new art work takes inspiration from the lyrics, featuring a man in handcuffs, and was created by StormStudios.

Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secret’s will have a 12″ vinyl of See Emily Play and Vegetable Man. Similar to the Pink Floyd Records release, the Legacy vinyl will have an etching on the B-side.

As with every year, there will be limited numbers of both vinyls, so make sure you pre-order or line up early at your favourite participating record store!

First announced in November of last year, Eric Clapton’s tribute concert for Ginger Baker will be taking place this weekend in London, and one special guest just been announced: Roger Waters!

It will be Roger’s first time playing on stage with Eric Clapton since 2006, and 36 years since they toured together for ‘The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking‘ in 1984.

Tickets for the concert sold out within minutes of the announcement last year, so if any AFG readers are lucky enough to be attending then we hope you enjoy the show.

Eric Clapton & Friends: A Tribute to Ginger Baker will take place Monday, February 17, 2020 at the Eventim Apollo Hammersmith in London.

 

The set list for the concert will look to honour Baker’s lifetime in music and will, of course, include Clapton and Baker’s work together in Cream and Blind Faith.
