As David Gilmour's new album, "On An Island", hits US stores today, we have a couple of updates for you.
First off, we've just heard that
US chain store "Best Buy" have an exclusive limited edition of the
album on sale, which includes "Island Jam as a bonus track. Many of you
will recall that this was the lovely, bluesly number which was on David's own website to see/hear for a few days around Christmas.

We now have news on how this
particular edition is presented. The bonus track appears as a stand
alone CD in a sleeve that is shrink wrapped with the full CD at Best
Buy. All of them have a sticker on the front packaging stating the
bonus cd is included.
As far as we can tell, you can ONLY get this
special edition from Best Buy, and for a very limited period. our
thanks to everyone who wrote in with info, and particularly to Jonathan
Still.
In other news, we mentioned
earlier that David is due to appear on a forthcoming In The Studio show
- a great, regular interview and music show, syndicated across the US.
BD's Brent Ingalls was in contact with the presenter, Redbeard, who
gave us the following rundown on the show, and also made suggestions of
stations that listeners worldwide might be able to tune in to, via
their websites.
"David Gilmour will be my guest
IN THE STUDIO discussing his three solo albums, including the new On An
Island, the week of March 13th on 80 stations in the U.S. Since the
show is pre-recorded, each station runs the program on the day and time
of their choosing. For instance, radio station KZPS-FM in Dallas Texas
will run it Sunday March 19th at 8p.m. Central Time, and stream it on
the internet at the same time. KMOD-FM in Tulsa Oklahoma will run it a
day earlier on Saturday morning (March 18th) at 8a.m. Central Time;
same day and time for WEGR-FM, Memphis Tennessee. WRDU-FM,Raleigh North
Carolina runs it the earliest in the week - Monday March 13th at 11
p.m. Eastern Time. Check these stations to see if they stream their
signals on the web."
For those in Canada "we have one
Canadian affiliate these days, CJYC-FM in St.Johns, New Brunswick, and
we can be heard in southern Ontario on our Detroit affiliate, WCSX-FM
on early Saturday mornings 5am - 6am.
Our thanks to Redbeard for the help and information.
