Neun Stunden Pink Floyd auf BBC-Radio

Heute auf BBC 6 Music zu hören, ist die um 30 Minuten längere “The Record Producers : Pink Floyd” Sendung! Einer der Höhepunkte: Clare Torrys “Great Gig”. Im Vergleich zu meiner Heimat, haben Pink Floyd in England, doch einen anderen Stellenwert. Anders ist es nicht zu erklären, dass BBC 6 Music heute ganz im Zeichen von Pink Floyd, neun Stunden Beiträge, Musik, Interviews über die Band bringen!

David Gilmour: We wanted to try something out on it and Alan Parsons said, ‘I just used this girl on a session who had this great voice, why don’t you give it a try?’ And we said, ‘Fine’. As far as I know she was the first and only one who did it and I think she came in on a Sunday afternoon.
