Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article was a past project collaboration.

Re-size large images around to 300 pixels (all "fair use" images), other than album covers (already done).

Bass player

So while Tony is the only one getting any credits for playing bass, it seems he may not have played on this song. Quote (taken from here and here):

Often recording his bass parts alone in the studio control room, Gilmour has played the Charvel fretless on a number of tracks over the years, including On The Turning Away for the 1987 Pink Floyd album A Momentary Lapse of Reason and High Hopes, Poles Apart and Coming Back To Life for the band’s 1994 album The Division Bell.

Also, why are the backing vocalists not credited? They're loud and clear on the last verse. Jules TH 16 (talk) 15:26, 6 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
