David
Gilmour is the debut solo studio album by Pink Floyd guitarist and
co-lead vocalist David Gilmour, released on 26 May 1978. The album
reached number 17 in the UK and number 29 on the Billboard US album
charts; it was certified Gold in the US by the RIAA. The album was
produced by Gilmour, and consists mostly of blues and guitar-oriented
rock songs, except for the piano-dominated ballad "So Far Away".
The
tracks used for the album were recorded between February and March 1978
with engineer John Etchells at Super Bear Studios in France. They were
then mixed at the same studio by Nick Griffiths. Session musicians
included bass guitarist Rick Wills and drummer Willie Wilson, both of
whom used to be part of Jokers Wild with Gilmour. The album was recorded
at the same studio where Pink Floyd bandmate Richard Wright had
recorded his first solo album Wet Dream just weeks before, though it
would not be released until September 1978.
The album cover used for
the first EMI pressings of the album LP was done by Hipgnosis and
Gilmour and includes Gilmour, Rick Wills and Willie Wilson in the cover
photo; Gilmour was credited on the cover for contributing "Keyboards,
Vocals" though he was primarily a guitarist. The CBS/Columbia pressings
(outside Europe) listed Gilmour as contributing "Guitars, Keyboards,
Vocals". Among those depicted on the inner sleeve is Gilmour's
then-wife, Ginger.
