Pink Floyd The Black Strat book by Phil Taylor

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!

New book from Glenn Povey - Pink Floyd in North America 1966-1983 Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Wednesday, 29 June 2022

Pink Floyd in North America 1966-1983 book by Glenn PoveyTo be published on October 17th (was September 23rd, but printing issues have caused the small shift of dates) is a new book from acclaimed Pink Floyd historian, author and Brain Damage Magazine founder, Glenn Povey.

In the book, Pink Floyd in North America 1966-1983, Glenn delves deep into Floyd's history within the biggest music market in the world. This book not only charts the concerts they played and records that Floyd released in the USA and Canada from 1967 through to 1983 but it also looks in great detail at the band's relationship with their American record company; the promotional aspects (or lack off!) that propelled Floyd to stadium status, and extensive details of TV and radio appearances, along with band interviews and much more.

As expected with one of Glenn's books, it has been painstakingly researched with loads of new information unearthed. Pink Floyd In North America shines new light on the band from their days playing small clubs right through to superstar status as one of the world's biggest bands.

The book is lavishly illustrated throughout with loads of memorabilia including backstage passes, gig posters, media adverts and a raft of photos, both on and off stage. You can order direct from the publisher themselves, with those who pre-order early getting their name on a dedicated fan page in the book, or you can order from the other normal outlets: Amazon UK, Germany, France, Italy or Spain. It isn't currently listed on Amazon.com or Canada, but should that change, we will let you know. It is also available from WHSmith Books, Waterstones and Wordery. Obviously, the price varies between the different retailers, and in different countries, so can be worth shopping around.
