UPCOMING RELEASES SCHEDULED
According to the Pink Floyd Archives, several forthcoming releases with
Pink Floyd connections have tentative dates set.
"The Legend of the Pianist on the Ocean" is planned for U.S. release on 30
April. This Italian film, with English subtitles, includes a new song by
Roger Waters called "Lost Boys Calling." The Waters song is included on the
soundtrack as well as the film itself. It is unclear at this time whether
30 April is the scheduled U.S. release date of the film, of the soundtrack,
or both.
A new edition of the 1982 film "The Wall" is tentatively scheduled for
release next autumn by Columbia Music Video. The film will be released in
the new Digital Video Disk format as well as other formats. It is expected
to be the best-quality release of "The Wall" film ever. According to
www.dvdresource.com, other Pink Floyd releases on DVD are expected to
follow.
A five-disk music sampler is also expected for release in the U.K. "The
Harvest Supper" will include at least one Pink Floyd track, probably a
reissue of an old song. The release date for "The Harvest Supper" has not
been announced.

aficionados.
