Just published in France, available from all news kiosks and certain stores, are the new issues of two of the country's major music magazines. As expected, both are covering the release of Pink Floyd's upcoming album, The Endless River, in suitable style.

The French edition of Rolling Stone magazine, dated October 16th, 2014, includes an enthusiastic review of the album, along with a few pages looking at Pink Floyd's 25 best songs. In all, a really interesting 13 pages about the band.

The well respected Rock&Folk magazine, with a November 2014 cover date, only gives 6 pages to Pink Floyd, which is briefer than we expected from a publication such as this, which has always provided interesting coverage of the band over the years. They give a really good review of the album and have an interview with Phil Manzanera. It even reveals that Dick Parry wasn't on the album because he had to have some dental surgery at the time of the recording.

Our thanks to Julien Richard for his invaluable help with this story (and the picture, too). You can purchase the magazines worldwide from various online sources, including journaux.fr of which direct links to the magazines in question can be found above.
