PULSE, originally released in 1995, chronicled Pink Floyd's Division Bell Tour of Europe. The video release was taken from a performance at Earls Court in London on October 20, 1994. There, Pink Floyd (then comprised of founding members David Gilmour on vocals and guitar, Richard Wright on keyboards and Nick Mason on drums, alongside touring bassist Guy Pratt and a few other live musicians) performed a career-spanning selection of works alongside a full performance of 1973's The Dark Side of the Moon. In 2019, the program was restored and re-edited from the original footage by Aubrey Powell/Hipgnosis for The Later Years box set.  This is the version now being released on standalone Blu-ray and DVD with a host of high-definition bonus material, including music video edits, projections from the original concerts, documentary footage, and more. As a special treat for collectors, the set features a new version of the infamous blinking LED eye that came with the original album package - this time powered by an easily replaceable pair of AAA batteries.

    Another key release is the new long awaited album by Bostonian Sarah Borges, "Together Alone", done during the pandemic with former Del Lord & acclaimed producer Eric "Roscoe" Ambel...her killer music comprises punk, powerpop, alt-country, garage rock, bubblegum, soul, AM radio pop, every kind of good cool music with a rock & roll Jones...out on indie label Blue Corn Music...check her out, she may become a new favourite...she even name checks Steve Earle & the Dukes, Elizabeth Cook & Mojo Nixon on "You Got Me On The Boat", her theme/homage to the Outlaw Country Cruise, which a bunch of people, me included, campaigned to get her back on, which departs in a week...and it worked!!
