Mira Como Juega Emily (See Emily Play) on a rare Mexican EP from 1967 (GX 07-463).

The EP doesn’t mention an artist or band; however, it is performed by the ‘Bill Wellings Orch. and Singers’.

A new year, a new Iggy portrait. In the sixties, Ray Stevenson made pictures of David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, Marc Bolan, Roy Harper and... Iggy the Eskimo! #iggyrose #iggytheeskimo #raystevenson

Wish You Were Here Lego Edition

Unfortunately, the Floyd machine already issued a ‘definitive’ Wish You Were Here box set in 2011. The so-called Immersion set contained toasters, glass marbles, a scarf and occasionally some music. The WYWH50 release manages to add 6 rarities never heard before.

Granny Takes A Trip - Paul Gorman

John Pearse and 'friend'

Does Iggy the Eskimo appear in a recently published book about Granny Takes A Trip? Author Paul Gorman seems to think so. The Church isn't that convinced.

Shine On is not a replacement of Blake’s Pigs Might Fly, but a well-deserved sequel. Recommended.

This is not a Review (Part 2) Review of David Gilmour Live at Circus Maximus

@bsky.app Is David Gilmour Live at the Circus Maximus any good? Bloody hell, it’s fantastic. It just lacks some soul, the one thing that a Roger Waters concert has too much of.

Pink Floyd Anno Domini 1967 Review of Pink Floyd 1967, by Ed Paule.

Pink Floyd Anno Domini 1967

In March, we learn that Pink Floyd is not psychedelic and doesn’t know what all that fuss about LSD is about. 'Somebody ought to check that out,' Syd must have thought.

A review of Ed Paule's Pink Floyd 1967 book.

If there is one constant, it is that Waters’ best period certainly was the one he shared with Mrs Gilmour, Mason & Wright.

When General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev hears the plan, its realisation reaches nearly the speed of light. The Soyuz TM-3 mission of the 22nd of July 1987 not only carries a Space Opera CD, but also a CD player and two small speakers. In your face, Pink Floyd!

In the Land of Crimson Pink Syd Barrett and Iggy at a King Crimson gig

A number of musicians from various well-known bands in London, formed an organisation known as the Pink Fairies Motorcycle Club and All Star Rock and Roll Big Band...

Syd Barrett and Iggy the Eskimo joined them, with disastrous results...

No thanks.

The official Syd Barrett YouTube page has uploaded a demo version of Wined and Dined, and guess who has been thanked in the end credits.
