Just revealed, and about to hit selected UK stores, is the new, Pink Floyd heavy issue of Classic Rock magazine (issue 339, cover date May 2025) - which looks definitely worth picking up.

With the imminent arrival of the incredible looking (with Lana Topham's painstaking restoration of the film from original reels) and sounding (with Steven Wilson's superb new mix of the audio) Pink Floyd at Pompeii, they've understandably gone heavy on coverage.

They look back at the making of Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii, with recollections from drummer Nick Mason, director Adrian Maben and more. As well as the extensive article, they've also included a huge poster, and a laptop sticker with the classic stencil lettering seen on the side of equipment in the film.

There's also a seperate piece on Steven Wilson, who - apart from his work on Pompeii, and on Echoes for Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets Record Store Day and digital audio release - has a great new album out, and Classic Rock explore that with him, along with his other work at the moment.

Elsewhere in the magazine, there's articles looking at Bon Jovi, Smith/Kotzen, the late Gary Moore, and The Darkness.

There's also all the normal features, including an extensive review section. You can order the magazine direct, worldwide, through this link.

Some great news this week - from pictures and a brief video clip (which has already gone, due to the temporary nature of such things) posted by Polly Samson, it seems David Gilmour is back in the studio in what appears to be early musical explorations which may lead to new music. You might recall that David suggested that he wanted to crack on with more new music, hot on the heels of Luck and Strange...

In more unusual news, a newly discovered fossil has been named after Pink Floyd! The following video explains more. Our thanks to Sergio Gomez for letting us know about this.

With Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII coming on Blu-ray, DVD, 2CD, 2LP and to selected cinemas, Sony Music Vision have released a new trailer for the film, which is nicely put together.
