DATELINE -- Thursday, 19 August 1999
"The Wall" comes down: It's no secret that Columbia Records has been planning to street a new DVD of Alan Parker's film Pink Floyd: The Wall, based on the epic album by the legendary Brit band, but the official press release was distributed yesterday. The new disc will feature a new 5.1 audio mix of the classic score from the original master tapes, a commentary track with Roger Waters and animator Gerald Scarfe, a 25-minute documentary of behind-the-scenes footage called "The Other Side Of The Wall," an additional 45-minute documentary called "Retrospective," featuring interviews with Waters, Scarfe, Parker, and others, the original trailer, production stills, and even some Easter eggs. Floyd fanatics can expect the new disc to arrive in October.
(Editor's Note: Pink Floyd: The Wall has been delayed until Dec. 2.)
