Details are now emerging of a couple of special editions of David Gilmour's new album, On An Island, which hits the stores on March 6th in the UK and Europe, and March 7th in the US.

On An Island cover

These are to be available alongside the regular single disc edition.

Whilst we are yet to see official information on what the expanded edition contains, we understand that it is alternate/demo versions of some of the tracks that appear on the album proper.

The vinyl LP is expected to only contain the album itself, without additional tracks.

We don't yet know how limited these two editions will be, but suspect that they won't be available for too long.

Obviously, once we know exactly what is on them, we will let you know the full details, but thought you'd like to know this latest tidbit of information!

UPDATE: WE NOW KNOW THAT THIS INFORMATION, SOURCED FROM A NUMBER OF RETAILERS AND DISTRIBUTORS, IS INCORRECT. There is ONLY going to be the CD and the vinyl LP released...

UPDATED ORDERING INFORMATION: If you wish to order the album from Amazon, for delivery upon release, you can do so through these special links: US/International, UK/Europe, Canada, France or Germany.

We know that a number of you will also want to buy the vinyl edition (or indeed, instead of the CD version!). Here's the links you need for this edition, which will be in a specially designed gatefold sleeve: Amazon UK, France, or Germany.
