Pink Floyd The Black Strat book by Phil Taylor
Nick Mason Inside Out signed copy
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!

Nick Mason news wrap-up Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Thursday, 12 May 2005

We've got a clutch of news bits relating to Nick Mason, revolving, of course, around his latest book "Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd", and concerning interviews and another translation of the book.

First off, the Polish edition of the book has been formally announced now. In the tentative stages for a while (along with one or two other languages), more information (and soon, orders) can be found on the publishers ("In Rock") website. We don't have a publication date for this yet (it might be buried somewhere in the text but we don't read Polish!).

Our German and French visitors should be able to see Nick on Arte TV, as part of the Tracks magazine programme on June 2nd at 23:30hrs. More information can be found through this link.

Finally, back on April 26th we mentioned that the Italian Floydchannel would be interviewing Nick in Milan, on April 28th. They have made a video recording of the interview available to view online at their site, and it is an interesting look at, amongst other things:

    * The story behind his "Hokusay" drum kit
    * The pyramids story
    * Pulse DVD
    * Pink Floyd unplugged?
    * Is the Mclaren F1 better than the Ferrari Enzo?

You can imagine the question that received the most passionate answer... The interview was conducted by Enrico Soldatini and Zack Pirani, and is worth checking out through this link. It lasts for around 18 and a half minutes.

Our thanks to Hans Gerlitz for the Polish news and advance notice of the Arte broadcast, and Enrico for the video interview info.

If you haven't already got your copy of Nick's book, it really is an essential purchase. Amazon are promoting the book heavily on their websites, currently offering it at a well discounted price. It can be ordered through our special Amazon links: USA, Canada, UK/Elsewhere, Germany, or France (the French OR English language versions).
