Now available to buy online is the latest issue (number 20) of the Spanish language Animals Pink Floyd Magazine, published by BD's good friend José Abellán. This extremely well produced, glossy, 48 page magazine was produced with the participation of Aubrey "Po" Powell, and features a previously unseen, unused Hipgnosis image on the cover.
The image is an old design created in 1974 for an avant-garde theatre company that Pink Floyd knew, and the image was then under consideration as the cover design plans for the band's next album. The magazine is being printed in limited numbers, and at the request and express wish of the members of Pink Floyd, Po and Peter Curzon (StormStudios), all proceeds from the sales of this fanzine will go to the non-profit organization AFAPADE - Association of Relatives and Friends of People with Autism and other Developmental Disorders of the Region of Murcia Spain.
The magazine also comes with an A4 card with the Hipgnosis image (a "clean" version without the cover text on it), a couple of postcards, a Waters ITTLWRW die-cut pig, and is signed and numbered by José. The well illustrated contents cover a wide range of recent events: Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets, the Madrid staging of Their Mortal Remains - and an interview with Po about the exhibition, Roger's Us + Them tour and recent studio album, a look at David Gilmour's Pompeii release, the creation/origins of the Animals album and cover, and a piece on the forthcoming box set, The Later Years.
