  • Ep.22 - “Here They Come!”: Pink Floyd, January 1972 and the birth of The Dark Side of the Moon

    Ep.22 - “Here They Come!”: Pink Floyd, January 1972 and the birth of The Dark Side of the Moon
    Oct 4 2024
    Over the course of eight days in January 1972, Pink Floyd began to showcase The Dark Side Of The Moon, their brand-new piece of music, which would ultimately define their legacy.

    The band kicked off their tour with concerts in Brighton, Portsmouth, Bournemouth, and Southampton, before heading north to Newcastle and Leeds.

    For live recording collectors, these early dates have long been a source of confusion, with persistent issues regarding accurate dates and uncertainties surrounding the content and quality of the audience recordings.

    Consequently, the pivotal January shows are often overshadowed by the February 1972 Rainbow Theatre concerts.

    In this episode, Phil Salathé and Ian Priston delve deep into the January shows, offering insightful musical analysis and thorough research to shed light on this pivotal moment in Pink Floyd’s history.

  • Ep.21 – 'Artist On The Border' on creating artworks for bootlegs, animations and the Roger "Syd" Barrett Legacy

    Ep.21 – 'Artist On The Border' on creating artworks for bootlegs, animations and the Roger "Syd" Barrett Legacy
    Sep 5 2024
    Hello and welcome back!

    In this episode we have another exciting guest. While the name of our interviewee may not be familiar to you, his works are for sure.

    Alex started creating artwork for various Pink Floyd bootlegs in the late 90's and supported the Harvested label on a few releases.

    He then started a YouTube channel and released animated versions of the official Pink Floyd artwork. This later led to a collaboration with Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets and eventually a close association with the family of Roger “Syd” Barrett, where Alex is the official animator for all content on the official website.
    The conversation was exciting, funny and insightful, but hear for yourself!

    Ep.20 - The Legend of Mick the Hat
    Jul 7 2024
    On this, our 20th episode, we speak with a person who has chosen to go by the pseudonym of "Mick the Hat", and when you listen you'll certainly understand why.
    One of our favorite things to do on this podcast is to interview people who have knowledge that no one else in the world possesses, and who can shed light on some of the most legendary events in the history of Pink Floyd. Mick the Hat is one of those people. For anyone interested in the saga of Pink Floyd live recordings and vinyl bootlegs, you won't want to miss a minute of Mick the Hat's recollections, as elicited by podcast producer and interviewer Ian Priston. His tales of BPI busts gone wrong, of taping some of the most beloved shows in Pink Floyd history, and of dealing with some of the quirkiest characters out there, are one of a kind revelations that you won't hear anywhere else.
