Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett special releases for Record Store Day

2011 Record Store Day (http://www.recordstoreday.com) takes place across many countries, celebrating the work of small, independent shops with a range of one-day-only special releases, unavailable elsewhere and while stocks last. Two of the releases will be of interest to Brain Damage visitors. The first of these is a special Pink Floyd The Wall: Singles Box from EMI/Capitol, which is limited to 7,500 copies in the US, and 4,000 for the international market. In a flip-top box are three singles: Another Brick in the Wall/One of My Turns Comfortably Numb/Hey You Run Like Hell/Don’t Leave Me Now all in picture sleeves, are the 2011 remastered versions of the tracks, and available on vinyl for the first time. The box includes a poster. Please note the picture to the right is an early version of the artwork, and not the final version. The other release of interest is Syd Barrett: The Photography of Mick Rock which is limited to 5,000 copies in the US. In a specially printed metal box is a 128 page book of Rock's great photos of Syd, with an accompanying text. The box also contains an exclusive 7 single of Octopus/Golden Hair in a picture bag and on yellow heavyweight vinyl. Full details of participating stores, not just in North America, but worldwide, can be found at RecordStoreDay.com (http://www.recordstoreday.com). Our thanks to Dan Stark, Kevin, and William Buckley for their help with this.
