Music News-new vinyl releases

Snow Patrol will release their new album on CD, DVD and vinyl, with a Special Edition package also available.

Fans who were up early this morning had the chance to hear a special Snow Patrol gig live from the band's living room, broadcast on BBC Radio 1.

The band played the special living room acoustic set on Joe Whiley's show, featuring the new single 'Take Back The City', which is available for download from October 5, and on general release October 13.

The single is the first to be taken from the new Snow Patrol album A Hundred Million Suns, which is out here on October 24.

As well as the standard CD and DVD releases, the album will also be out in a Special Edition package with two behind-the-scenes docs following the band through rehearsals and into the studio, and on double gatefold vinyl.

LONDON, Sept. 23 (UPI) -- British rocker David Gilmour recalls his 2006 concert in Gdansk, Poland, as "a great, great show," which is why he's preserved it on CD and DVD.

The Pink Floyd guitarist was planning "to make a live album out of the show tour" supporting his latest solo album, "On An Island." But the Gdansk show, staged at the city's historic shipyards and featuring an orchestra, changed his mind.

"It's slightly not representative of all the shows from the tour," Gilmour said, "but so many of the best (songs) for the album seemed to come from that night, anyway.

"So in the end we thought, 'Oh, we'll just do the whole (album) from Gdansk. That's the one we'll do. It'll be great."

"Live in Gdansk" is available in five different CD, DVD and vinyl album combinations.

The album also features one of the last recorded performances of Pink Floyd keyboardist and Gilmour band member Richard Wright, who died Sept. 15 of cancer at age 65.
