First Time 180g Vinyl 2LP Pressing of Historic 1990 Benefit Concert Remixed from the Original Master Tapes by David Gilmour and Andy Jackson and Cut at 45 RPM for Enhanced Audio Quality! 

New Artwork Shot by Floyd Collaborator Aubrey ‘Po' Powell of Hipgnosis and Designed by Peter Curzon of Storm Studios!

Pink Floyd's historic Live At Knebworth concert - recorded at Knebworth House, Knebworth, Hertfordshire, UK, on June 30, 1990 in aid of the Nordoff Robbins Music Centre and The BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology - is available on vinyl for the first time! The monumentous Silver Clef Award Winners Knebworth concert saw Pink Floyd topping the all-star bill that included Paul McCartney, Dire Straits, Genesis, Phil Collins, Mark Knopfler, Robert Plant (with Jimmy Page), Cliff Richard, Eric Clapton and Tears For Fears. Around 120,000 music fans saw these giants of rock appear on the hallowed stage of Knebworth, all in aid of the Nordoff Robbins charity, profits from which went towards setting up the BRIT School. The concert was broadcast globally on MTV. The concert has been remixed from the original master tapes and comes pressed on 180-gram heavyweight double vinyl cut at 45 RPM for enhanced audio quality. The package also includes an accompanying 16-page booklet.

Pink FloydDavid Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright – were joined on stage by members of their touring band including Guy Pratt, Jon Carin, Tim Renwick and Gary Wallis. Backing vocals came from Durga McBroom, Sam Brown and her mother Vicki, and (original "The Great Gig In The Sky" vocalist) Clare Torry. Pink Floyd also welcomed guest musicians including sax player Candy Dulfer and keyboard player and composer Michael Kamen. David Gilmour and Andy Jackson have remixed the audio from this iconic concert featuring all seven tracks performed on the day, and the album features new artwork shot by Floyd collaborator Aubrey ‘Po' Powell of Hipgnosis and designed by Peter Curzon of Storm Studios. The concert, previously unreleased until it appeared on 2019's Later Years box set, is now available on vinyl for the first time as a stand-alone album.

David Munns, Chairman of Nordoff Robbins, remembers the event well: "The Knebworth Concert was a defining moment in the music industry's commitment to Nordoff Robbins, the BRIT Trust and the concept of the BRIT School. What a fantastic day it was, culminating in this brilliant performance by Pink Floyd. The money raised allowed the BRIT School to come into being and allowed Nordoff Robbins to significantly expand its service. Knebworth will go down in history as one of those great moments and the music industry should be very proud of what it achieved."

Mason also reminisces about the gig: "There is something special about Knebworth. We all still have fond memories of playing there in the 70's, and this show was no different. As a North London boy this was almost a home game, but with the added delight of being the re-assembly of the band after a fairly mega tour that had lasted for well over a year. It was also an opportunity to get the wonderful Candy Dulfer to play – I had been a fan of hers for quite a while, and it was just a shame we didn't have an opportunity to utilise her for more. We also had our dear friend Michael Kamen guesting. Michael had contributed so much to PF over the previous ten years, it's great to have something of his playing on the recording."
