We chatted this week to our friends at Pink Floyd Management (formerly known as EMKA), about future and
upcoming releases. Whilst at the moment there are a number of details that are far from being definite, we felt that you would want to hear what there is - however brief! Certainly from the many emails we
receive each week, upcoming releases are of major interest.
PULSE DVD - they are hoping that this may be released, worldwide, at some point in October. Any actual dates you may have already heard for its release are simply supposition at this stage. In terms of content, the main feature is finished, and some decisions are being made at the moment with regard to additional content to complete the package. Any DVDs you already see for sale (on, for example, online auction sites) are fakes, created from either the original VHS tapes or from laserdisc. A lot of work has been done on the official version and it should be worth waiting for! We will be speaking to PFM again shortly for an update on this project...
SOLO MATERIAL - We asked about David Gilmour and Richard Wright's solo projects. They are both still working on them, although they told us that "David is certainly working harder on his [material] than Richard!" We took this to imply that David's work is closer to release than Richard's - indeed we have heard from other sources that David's album is almost complete. No release dates for either, although we touched on David's appearance at the September Fender celebrations at Wembley. As yet, the exact nature of his performance at that show has not been finalised.
OTHER REISSUES - There are no plans currently for other reissues or releases. This includes the Delicate Sound Of Thunder concert film, that many would like to see (officially) on DVD one day. However, the pirates seem to have this covered... On a separate note (and not discussed with PFM), the DVD of See For Miles' London 66-67, which has been planned for some time (and mentioned on this site last year) is still no closer to release, whilst legal issues are ironed out.
