The Vinyl Countdown # 50
Pink Floyd, The Wall (1979) I’ve been a Pink Floyd fan forever. And sometimes I’ve been a tiny bit guarded about that. But usually what happens is I move to one end of the catalogue and just hang there – these days it’s the early stuff that pleases me most but it was definitely the […]Archive

Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets: Live At The Roundhouse
Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets Live At The Roundhouse BMG A couple of years back I read about Nick Mason’s new group – Saucerful of Secrets. He was tackling the pre-Dark Side Pink Floyd, the Syd Barrett years and some of the early years of when Roger Waters started to steer the ship. Essentially the […]Archive

Pink Floyd: The Later Years 1987 – 2019
Pink Floyd The Later Years 1987 – 2019 Legacy The post-Roger years examined, remixed – a few rarities…well, in fact this “Sampler” is just a taste of it. The actual “box-set” is still a couple of weeks away; the sequel – if you like – to The Early Years – 1965-1972 (an embarrassment of riches […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 574
Robert Wyatt, Rock Bottom (1974) So nice – I bought it twice! By which I mean I already have this 2-for-1 (Rock Bottom and Ruth Is Stranger Than Richard) and then I decided I had to have the album on its own, as it was originally released. I got onto Robert Wyatt and this album […]Archive

Appreciating The Final Cut: One of Floyd’s Best
Through the fish-eyed lens of tear-stained eyes… Do you know what? The Final Cut is my favourite album by Pink Floyd. I’m sure that’s traitor-speak amongst (most) fans. And it makes me a very easy target for Floyd-haters. Short of saying The Wall (actually, an album I can’t stand) this is the easiest record for […]Archive

Pink Floyd: The Endless River
Pink Floyd The Endless River Columbia/Sony The first Pink Floyd album in 20 years – and the final Pink Floyd album, the band has already announced this – well, band, it’s just Gilmour and Mason now, Roger Waters was at pains to confirm his (continued) non-involvement in what is the most pre-ordered album in Amazon […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 1564
Nick Mason’s Fictitious Sports, Nick Mason’s Fictitious Sports (1981) My favourite “solo” effort by a Pink Floyd member (apart from Syd Barrett’s albums). Of course you could argue (correctly) that this is no solo album. Carla Bley wrote and produced the material, Robert Wyatt sung most of it – those are reasons to sign up […]Archive
