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 been three Record Store Day releases released 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, now that RSD has finished.

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!

MOJO Magazine: Pink Floyd Essentials Print E-mail

MOJO Essentials: Pink FloydThe well-respected UK music magazine MOJO has just announced the latest in their series of "deluxe bookazines": MOJO Essentials: Pink Floyd, which aims to have MOJO's experts guide you through Pink Floyd's essential albums, songs, films and books.

In their description, they note that "Pink Floyd's status as rock's greatest visionaries is beyond question, from their early days as psychedelic pioneers in the mid-60s to their mega-selling 70s albums The Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, The Wall and beyond. But how best to negotiate their revered legacy of studio recordings, film soundtracks, rarities compilations, live albums and books? And what of their members' solo releases?

"Written by MOJO's team of experts, Pink Floyd Essentials arms you with all the knowledge you need to acquire your ultimate Floyd collection. There are incisive appraisals of all their studio albums, from 1967's The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn right up until 2014's 'posthumous' The Endless River, as well as fascinating pieces on the film soundtrack LPs the group cut in the early 70s when their future was uncertain. We also journey track-by-track through their career-spanning compilation Echoes, and take a deep dive into their revelatory Early Years and Later Years box sets.

"Then there are profiles of each member's solo releases, including early leader Syd Barrett's two wonderfully eccentric cult albums from 1970, Roger Waters' prolific catalogue following his departure from the group in 1984, and David Gilmour's output, beginning with his acclaimed self-titled 1978 debut. Fear not, Rick Wright and Nick Mason are featured too!

"When it comes to Floyd’s audio-visual performances, we uncover the extraordinary stories behind the band's ground-breaking Live At Pompeii concert movie and the extravagant 1980/81 tour to promote The Wall, later captured in the epic film of the same name. Plus we recommend the best Pink Floyd books with which to line your reading shelves. Illustrated throughout with dozens of rare and iconic photographs, Pink Floyd Essentials is an indispensable purchase for all serious music fans."
