The news quickly spread over the weekend about a very low-key, and quite astonishing, release that took place on Friday (November 27th). Pink Floyd 1965 - Their First Recordings was a very limited issue of just over 1000 copies (1050 to be exact) on two 7" singles, in a gatefold sleeve, available from selected record stores around the world.
Contrary to some of the comments online, this was NOT part of the limited number of Record Store Day releases which were also in the same stores on Friday.
The records have, for the first time, released six tracks officially. The first and last track have been bootlegged previously, but have never been heard in this sort of quality. The tracks also include Rado Klose on guitar - still a member of the band in those days - and Juliette Gale providing vocals on Walk With Me Sydney. If you've already heard the first and last tracks that gives a decent idea what the rest of songs are like, in style and performance.
The full 18 minute track listing is as follows:
- Lucy Leave (2:52)
- Double O Bo (2:54)
- Remember Me (2:44)
- Walk With Me Sydney (3:09)
- Butterfly (2:59)
- I'm A King Bee (3:08)
Obviously there are many fans hoping that this release is just the precursor to something to come in the future, and speculation has already started going by the incredible reaction to this that we've already seen! From an official standpoint, the band's Facebook page has noted that "Pink Floyd hope to make them available in some physical form towards the end of next year" which is excellent news!

Hot on the heels of our review of Taken By Storm - The Art of Storm Thorgerson and Hipgnosis on DVD, yesterday, comes an offer from StormStudios themselves.
With a spirit no doubt of "If you can't beat them, join them", they are running a trio of special Black Friday offers, which run until Monday (November 30th). Here's what StormStudios are offering: "Friday may be black and Monday a little Stormy but we'd like to offer you the chance to add a splash of colour to this winter weekend with a trio of special offers. At the top of the tree is a significant price reduction on our high quality (very) limited numbered fine art silkscreen of 'Transmissions'. Designed for Gentlemen Without Weapons, Storm and the the studio went to legendarily preposterous lengths to capture this image [shown to the right]. Yes, those are genuine telegraph poles! View a clip about the making of this cover from Roddy Bogawa's 'Taken By Storm' documentary here. In addition we also have a lovely new limited fine art print of the concept sketch created for an album cover by South African band Machineri, copies of our gorgeous weighty anthology 'The Gathering Storm' and freshly released DVDs of 'Taken By Storm'. Full details here."
The Gathering Storm was a book we hugely enjoyed, and are sure you will to. Check out our review of this book here. If you are yet to get this book, their Black Friday deals might encourage you to snap up the DVD and book (unless your budget stretches to the print) - something we are sure you won't regret.

Two things relating to the Roger Waters The Wall Blu-ray, DVD, CD and vinyl releases for you today. First, there are now some more details and clarification regarding the recently announced Super Deluxe Edition. We've had a lot of questions about various aspects of this set, and this update should answer some of the questions we are getting on a daily basis.
The set, which is exclusively available from the Roger Waters Online Store at the price of $500, plus tax, shipping and for many (as it is shipping from the USA) import tax and duties, is a limited edition of just 3000. Each one will be signed by Roger himself (but none of his bandmates will be signing it).
The "hand applied graphics" which were mentioned when the set was announced is basically this: the boxes will be set up in a Los Angeles warehouse like a massive wall, and Brazilian graffiti artist team Osgemeos will paint a mural on this wall of boxes. Each box then will have a piece of this mural. The picture here shows Osgemeos's artwork on one of Roger's pigs.
COMPETITION: WIN THE FILM ON BLU-RAY: We also have a nice little competition to run today - we have two copies of the film on Blu-ray to give away to lucky BD visitors! To enter, all you need to do is answer this question correctly:
- Which concert on The Wall tour featured the longest wall?
Email your answer to
This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
with the subject line of "The Wall Blu-ray competition", and include your name and mailing address. The closing date is December 5th, 2015, and all entries received by the end of that date will be in with a chance of winning. Just one entry per household please - and best of luck to you all!

This week, of course, sees the release of Roger Waters The Wall on DVD, Blu-ray, vinyl, CD and download, and to help mark the occasion, Brain Damage has the online video premiere of In The Flesh, with thanks to our friends in Roger's camp!
If the above - or the timelapse video that we posted as another exclusive yesterday - whet's your appetite, you can place your order for the various standard editions through the following direct links. As a reminder, there's also a Super Deluxe Edition which can only be purchased from the Roger Waters online store, and costs $500 plus shipping and taxes, but for those who prefer the standard editions, please use these links:
As you'll have noticed, not all the Blu-ray editions are currently available from all the Amazon stores. However, they will all ship items internationally, so if your chosen store doesn't have what you are after, consider using an alternative. For the audio side of things, if you prefer things digital, orders can be placed via this iTunes direct link.

Released this week are the various iterations of Roger Waters The Wall - Roger's highly anticipated movie of his Wall tour, which ran from 2010-2013, coupled with footage of his "road trip", visiting sites and areas where his father and grandfather fought and died. The film was shown around the world in selected cinemas on September 28th, and since then, some cinemas have had further showings (including tonight, particularly in Italy). This release has been a very popular topic of conversation, with dozens of emails arriving with us every week. Hopefully the details below of contents will help answer questions for those who haven't been in touch!
To celebrate the release, and to give Brain Damage visitors a sneak peak at what the video formats offer, we have an exclusive time lapse video from the Buenos Aires performances, showing just how much effort is made in the construction of staging for an event like this.
As a reminder, Roger Waters The Wall is released this week as a digital download, as a DVD, a Blu-ray, and a 2-disc Blu-ray special
edition. The physical editions are now available to order through selected outlets, and we have details below of what
each edition contains, and where you can get them from. There is also an audio release: an album of Roger Waters The Wall on triple vinyl (3LP) or double CD, via Sony Music. For those with a healthier bank balance, there is also the Super Deluxe Edition, which is limited to
3000 signed copies, exclusively from Roger's online store at $500 plus
tax, shipping, and - for some - import duties as it is shipped from the
US. This includes some extra items, currently unavailable elsewhere, including a book and additional Blu-ray, and the score on vinyl, all in a custom box.
Full details of each regular edition are below, but without further ado, here's the video, which can also be seen on Brain Damage UK's new Vimeo Channel:
