THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS DILIGENT

Those of us of a certain age will remember that in early 1975 the shops were flooded with a Pink Floyd album called 'Winter Tour 1974.' The packaging was such high quality that many people assumed that it was official. However, the sound quality was not what one would have hoped for, and it was - of course - a bootleg. Now it is available officially as an extra on the superduper all mod cons version of 'Wish you were here.' It is absolutely awesome to be able to hear these awesome recordings, which comprise early live versions of songs from WYWT and 'Animals', in proper quality for the first time. I was always more fond of the early versions of 'Raving and Drooling' and 'You Gotta be Crazy', even that the officially released songs, and 'Animals' is my favourite Pink Floyd album. What a nice way to start the day.

*  The Gonzo Daily is a two-way process. If you have any news or want to write for us, please contact me at  jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and want to showcase your work or even just say hello,  please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to read us in order to grow, and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word, and maybe if we all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow....

*  The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies. But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The same team also do a weekly newsletter called - imaginatively - The Gonzo Weekly. Find out about it at this link: http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html

* We should probably mention here that some of our posts are links to things we have found on the internet that we think are of interest. We are not responsible for spelling or factual errors in other people's websites. Honest guv!

*  Jon Downes, the editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 53 who, together with his orange cat (who is currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) and two very small kittens (one of whom is also orange), puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon, which he shares with various fish, and sometimes a small Indian frog. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus... did we mention the orange cat?
