> LONDON — A large inflatable pig flew above London's Battersea
Power Station on Monday in a stunt designed to mark the reissue
of British band Pink Floyd's 14 studio albums by record label
EMI Music.
>
> The animal, measuring 30 feet long and 15 feet high, was
inflated with helium at dawn for the event, held 35 years after
the making of the album cover for "Animals" featuring a similar
flying pig.
>
> EMI had planned to use the same inflatable pig, which had been
kept at a workshop since the original shoot, but two weeks ago
it was deemed not to be airworthy and a replica was made.
>
> The artwork on the "Animals" album was a combination of a
photograph of the background of Battersea Power Station taken on
Dec. 2, 1976, and the pig photographed on Dec. 4.
>
> On Dec. 3 that year, the pig slipped its moorings and floated
into the Heathrow airport flight path before being recovered by
a farmer in Kent, southeast England.
>
> Howard Bartrop, a photographer who worked on the 1976 shoot,
recalled the difficulties involved.
> Slideshow: Bands of the ‘70s that just won’t quit (on this
page)
>
> "It was quite tricky that day and very cold and of course
famously after a day or so we had the problem where he (the pig)
floated up away from the building and was spotted by commercial
pilots landing into Heathrow," he told Reuters.
>
> "He then floated off towards Kent, followed by a police
helicopter, landed in a farm I believe and frightened all the
cattle.
>
> "Basically he was retrieved, patched up and put back in the
air the next day so we could try and photograph him again."
>
> Under the banner "Why Pink Floyd ... ?," EMI Music is
releasing all 14 Pink Floyd studio albums remastered and
available digitally. They are also available as one Discovery
Box Set.
>
> Also on sale from Monday are special editions of one of the
band's most acclaimed albums, "The Dark Side of The Moon,"
extended to feature unreleased music from Pink Floyd archives.
>
> Pink Floyd, behind seminal albums The Dark Side of the Moon,
"Wish You Were Here" and "The Wall," is one of the most
successful rock bands of all time, having sold an estimated 200
million albums worldwide.
>
> The group, also famous for its acrimonious split and one-off
reunion at charity concert Live 8 in 2005, re-signed to long
time record label EMI in January in a five-year deal.
>
> The agreement also brought to an end a legal dispute between
the sides over EMI's right to "unbundle" their records and sell
individual tracks online.

It would take a little getting used to, but I think I could
really like this version
[glow=red,2,300]‘I thought we’d recorded over it’: Nick Mason on
Pink Floyd’s long lost collaboration with Stephane
Grappelli[/glow]
HTML http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm4sDyCW0k8
--- Quote ---
> A rare alternate take on the title track from Pink Floyd’s
Wish You Were Here featuring violinist Stephane Grappelli,
previously thought to be gone forever, finally appeared on an
Immersion reissue of the 1975 album — and Nick Mason still can’t
get over the fact that this version wasn’t used instead.
>
> “I think that was the jewel in that particular crown,” Mason
tells Sonic Reality. “It was something that I assumed had been
lost forever. I thought we’d recorded over it. Actually what was
fantastic was that it still exists.”
>
> Mason says the collaboration grew out of happenstance, with
Grappelli working in an adjacent studio. He said the jazz legend
simply stopped by to pay his respects, “and someone had the
gumption to say: ‘Would you like to play?’”
>
> Unfortunately, Grappelli, who rose to fame with Django
Reinhardt in the 1930s-era Quintette du Hot Club de France, died
in 1997 — long before his work on “Wish You Were Here” saw wide
release. “I can’t imagine why we didn’t use it at the time,”
Mason adds. “It’s lovely, I think.”
