At long last, the promised reissues
of David Gilmour's highly regarded first two solo albums, get their
release next month, according to Sony's Music Store site.
Hitting the stores on the same
day as Pink Floyd's PULSE DVD - July 10th/11th - the albums have been
fully remastered. From the huge number of emails we had during David's
recent tour, bemoaning the fact that none of the tracks from these
albums were played live, it is obvious that these are going to popular
CDs.

DAVID GILMOUR (1978) |
|
ABOUT FACE (1984) |
For those of you who haven't
heard one/both of these, you are in for a treat. The first album has a
bluesy feel, a contrast to David's work on the then recently released
Animals album, whilst the second brings a more contemporary feel, a
precursor to later period Floyd albums (A Momentary Lapse Of Reason and
The Division Bell).
We understand that the packaging
is as before, and contrary to very early reports about these titles,
there are NO additional tracks.
