A reminder, should you need it - today is Black Friday Record Store Day, and for those in the UK, retailers have in the last few minutes put all the special releases for this event available to purchase online!
Included in this special RSD for Black Friday (the final Friday in November), is a 7" vinyl release from Sony Legacy of "Yes, I Have Ghosts", the first new song from David Gilmour in five years which features his daughter Romany on harp and vocals. The inspiration for the track was Polly Samson's novel A Theatre for Dreamers, a Sunday Times bestseller about an idyllic poet/musician/artist community in 1960s Greece. An alternate version of the song is on the B-side.
As with the other RSD 2020 releases, it is a limited edition: generally the RSD releases are pressed up as just a couple of thousand or so worldwide. We understand that there are 5,000 of David's single available to snap up from today. Some of you may also be interested in the 12" single of The Green Manalishi, recorded at the Mick Fleetwood and Friends celebration of Peter Green, which David appeared at (although doesn't appear on this particular song).
And, as we've mentioned previously, go to RecordStoreDay.com for more details of participating stores near you. A reminder that it will ONLY be these stores selling these releases; first come, first served, and only one copy per customer.
