The Australian Pink Floyd

[Arnold Layne]

Just watching a video of them performing at the Pink Floyd convention at Wycombe Swan theatre in 1994, was anyone else there? a fantastic show! almost 3hrs of classics, including numbers the remaning Floyd never play live anymore, Echoes, Dogs to name but a few, David Gilmour says he dosen't play Animals travks live as is was one of the worst periods of the band, but a fantastic album, I urge anyone who gets the chance to see em live, I actually enjoyed this more than seeing the real Floyd at Earls court later that year (something to do with all the seats collapsing and 15.000 pissed off fans trying to get on the tube!)

While you're at it Steve, look up The Clash London Calling on white label (promo) test pressing with the extra incentive of being autographed by Bill Price (producer) Joe Strummer, Mick Jones and Paul Simonon. All I need is Topper Headons autograph on it. Value approx ?400.
