Brain Damage and A Fleeting Glimpse

Pink Floyd 1987WELCOME TO THE 26th YEAR OF BRAIN DAMAGE, YOUR PINK FLOYD, DAVID GILMOUR, NICK MASON, SYD BARRETT, RICHARD WRIGHT AND ROGER WATERS NEWS RESOURCE!

It's 2025! This year sees the 50th anniversary of Wish You Were Here, which is an incredible thought; where does the time go?!

We now know that Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, digital and cinema screenings are on their way, with the releases on May 2nd, and the cinema screenings shortly before. NOT to be missed!

There's also three Record Store Day releases to come on April 12th, from David Gilmour, Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets, and Roger Waters which are also definitely worth tracking down, either in a participating store, or online afterwards.

Last year, David Gilmour's superb new album, Luck and Strange, was released in a variety of formats, and a selection of coloured vinyls. A limited number of concert dates thrilled crowds in Brighton and London, England, Rome, Italy, and Los Angeles and New York, USA. Rome shows were filmed for release at some point...watch this space!

The Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets 2024 Set The Controls tour revealed a band in even better form than the 2022/23 shows which managed to exceed everyone's hopes and expectations! Our sincerest hopes are that they continue, but in the meantime, there's the RSD release, and the earlier live recording from London's Roundhouse on Blu-ray, DVD/2CD, and 2LP which is really excellent.

Of course, Roger Waters read three extracts from his memoirs in October 2023 at the London Palladium, so it might not be too long before that is published...he's also working on his new album based around The Bar - we'll let you know as soon as we get all the info!

Intro to Syd Barrett & Orb with David Gilmour 'digital booklets' online Print E-mail

Introduction to Syd Barrett digital booklet
The Orb featuring David Gilmour digital booklet

Next week sees the release of two important new albums, that all Pink Floyd fans will be eager to hear. EMI and Sony have been hard at work to create innovative 'digital booklets' for the 'Introduction To Syd Barrett' and 'Metallic Spheres' (by The Orb Featuring David Gilmour) albums. They give an insight into the artwork, play samples of selected tracks, and can be used as a complement to the digital versions of the albums.

Each 'digital booklet' is very nicely done - fun to turn the package around on the screen in a 3D virtual world, and good to have the full booklets online, alongside snippets of tracks from the albums for those who want to explore a little before buying them. We hope that these are just the first of many such 'digital booklets'.

- CLICK HERE for the Syd Barrett one, and HERE for our most recent story on this release (along with ordering information that will help us with site running costs).

- CLICK HERE for The Orb Featuring David Gilmour one, and HERE for our exclusive review of this release (again, with ordering information).
