4-disc deluxe box • 4LP vinyl set • CD, DVD and blu-ray options
In July 2016 David Gilmour performed two shows in the amphitheatre in Pompeii making him the only performer to play to an audience in the arena since the time of the gladiators, almost 2,000 years ago. As you might expect, a concert film Live At Pompeii was shot (in 4K, by Gavin Elder) and this is being released theatrically in September (“for one night only”) and more pertinently for SDE readers, the whole thing is being issued across five different formats – including as a 2CD+2x blu-ray deluxe box set – later the same month…

July 15, 2017 by Paul Sinclairtags: david bowie, pet shop boys, Saturday Deluxe, t-rex
This Saturday: T. Rex, Pet Shop Boys and David Bowie…
One of the more hotly debated releases this week was Demon’s triple vinyl set of T. Rex remixes. These are remixes created by modern-day remixers.

Even Tony Visconti said Marc was always trying to make ‘one more for the kids’ so who’s to say he wouldn’t have given the thumbs up to this album if he was still with us, to show the ‘kids’ of today how cool he once was?
