...Pictured above and leading the news this week, the PINK FLOYD Wall Tour gets the focus via a non-label DVD title, "U.S. Wall" featuring an excellent print of the proshot closed-circuit video of the February 27, 1980 performance at the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, New York...documenting a couple of other shows at the same venue is "Your Favourite Disguise", a 4CD set on the Sigma Label which contains superb audience source tapes of the February 26th and 28th...new from Wardour is the QUEEN release, "Mr. Fahrenheit", a 2CD set capturing the bands show at International Exhibition Hall in Nagoya on April 28, 1979...Tinkerbell have just issued DEREK & THE DOMINOS "Electric Factory & Winter Gardens" 2CD pairing a couple of audience tapes from Philadelphia on October 16, 1970 and an August '70 UK recording...
