Further to the story in our August news pages concerning Nick Mason's appearance at the Goodwood Revival Festival, Nick finished 6th in the Fordwater Trophy in the Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ1, in a time of 18:34.765, and in the RAC TT he didn't finish as his Ferrari 250 GTO 62 had a problem. Although the car took part in free and qualifying practice, the problem persisted and therefore was unable to run in the race itself. He was sharing the drive with ex-Formula 1 driver Gerhard Berger so it's a shame that it didn't work out.
Saturday night's Revival Festival party had the theme of Archaeologists in Egypt. Nick looked very dapper in a sand coloured, linen suit with wide brimmed hat! The party was to raise funds for the Mark Hanna Surgical Trust for research into the treatment of severe burns - a very good cause.
Our thanks to Janet at the Goodwood press office for her help!

Plans are finally afoot to redevelop the crumbling Battersea Power Station, which of course is the "star" of the Animals album cover. Long out of commission, the site has been becoming more decrepit as each year passes, so it is welcome news that Parkview International are finally sorting out the site - without losing those towering chimneys.
There is a website for the project (here) which is great eye candy but sketchy on details. There is also no sign of plans for a commemorative pig between a couple of the chimneys, unfortunately!

Here's the news that many of you have been eagerly awaiting: the release date of the PULSE DVD!
With a double-G sound production (Gilmour and Guthrie!) the DVD has been in production for some time, but the good news is that (in Europe at least) you only have to wait for November 4th to get your hands on it. We are currently trying to get worldwide dates, and as soon as these, and details of the complete package, are available, we'll let you know!

More rare pictures have emerged of the Floyd from the seventies, courtesy of photographer Robert Ellis's extensive archives. There are a huge number of pictures from 1968 to 1979, all viewable at www.repfoto.com.
The pictures are due to appear as part of the forthcoming Interstellar exhibition at Paris's Cite de la Musique, which we reported on some time ago. Hopefully we'll have more information on this soon; we are in contact with the curator of the exhibition and are awaiting some official confirmation of the details, before we can share them with you...

Political correspondent Matthew Parris, an unlikely commentator, hosts "Welcome To The Dark Side", to be broadcast on the UK's BBC Radio 4 on Tuesday September 16th. Broadcast at 13:30hrs BST (GMT+1) it lasts for 30 minutes, and is described thus: "Matthew Parris sheds a little light on [DSOTM]. Thirty years after the album first astonished an unsuspecting public, he evaluates what it did for contemporary music, and an entire generation of young listeners".
We don't believe that there is any new interview or music content included, but will be listening in, just in case!
