The new issue, dated June 2003, of the UK's Uncut magazine was published today, and it includes much to excite the Floyd fan!
Apart from the lovely, unusual picture of the band on the cover, the other first thing spotted is the free CD of psychedelic classics. Now, some of the songs included are better than others, but it is notable for including Syd performing "Octopus". The eighteen track CD has had a redesign since the original announcement (which we posted a month ago) and is now called "Acid Daze". Other artists on it include The Nice, The Small Faces, Kevin Ayers, The Move, T Rex, Arthur Brown and The Purple Gang with the legendary "Granny Takes A Trip".
The magazine itself features large interviews with each of the members of Pink Floyd, conducted separately. Apart from the cover picture, and a nice shot on the index page, it also has a whopping twenty three pages of new interviews and pictures of Roger, David, Rick and Nick.
It also has a somewhat scathing "review" of a 1980 Earl's Court Wall show, by Alan Jones. The same Alan Jones that Roger refers to on stage, during one of those shows, for his less than flattering review in the Melody Maker at the time of the shows!
Overall, the magazine is a definite recommendation - snap it up if you can.

Our friends over at Universal, who are handling the release of the Roger Waters "The Wall Live In Berlin 1990" SACD (Super Audio CD), have sent us the cover image for the release (which is pictured to the right).
Designed to match and complement the DVD, which is already available in Britain and some other European countries, the cover has the same great crowd picture (can you spot yourself in the audience?). This two disc set is a hybrid release - in other words, like Dark Side Of The Moon, it contains two layers of music - the SACD layer, and a standard layer which can be "read" by all CD players. We should be able to bring you a review of this title shortly.

The auction today at Christie's in London, which included some Pink Floyd lots (see earlier news) was very successful, and all Floyd-related lots were sold. The Hendrix tour poster sold for £320, the seven animation cels from the film The Wall sold for £550, £320, £100, £350, £320, £850, and £480 respectively, and the collection of items from the film and the 1990 concert made a very respectable £450. These are the hammer prices (ie without the "buyers premium" or other costs and taxes).
