To celebrate the return of the Brain Damage mailing list (and if you haven't signed up yet, why not?) we are starting to do occasional prize draws for all subscribers to the mailing list! The first draw (the name being pulled out of a Pink Floyd hat!) will be held on Christmas Day itself - and the prize is a vintage copy of Brain Damage Magazine - signed by none other than Nick Mason!

A bit of advance warning for UK Brain Damage visitors: BBC2 TV on Wednesday night (November 27th), at 9pm GMT has "EMI...And Me", a programme charting the rise and fall of EMI Records. One of the artists featured in the programme is one of EMI's largest ever acts - Pink Floyd. We will let you know if there is anything interesting included in the show...

The Knebworth DVD has now been released (appearing in store yesterday, November 25th). This double disc DVD features a DTS soundtrack and climaxes with Pink Floyd's performance at the 1990 concert, which also featured the likes of Robert Plant, Status Quo, Cliff Richard, Tears For Fears, etc.. A review of the disc will follow shortly.

From Easy Star Records comes the following information about a new version of Dark Side Of The Moon, to be released on February 18th 2003. Sounds very interesting...
