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!

Pink Floyd The Wall - Record Store Day releaseThis coming Friday (November 25th), the 2011 Record Store Day takes place across many countries, celebrating the work of small, independent shops with a range of one-day-only special releases, unavailable elsewhere and while stocks last.

Two of the releases will be of interest to Brain Damage visitors. The first of these is a special "Pink Floyd The Wall: Singles Box" from EMI/Capitol, which is limited to 7,500 copies in the US, and 4,000 for the international market. In a flip-top box are three singles:

  • Another Brick in the Wall/One of My Turns
  • Comfortably Numb/Hey You
  • Run Like Hell/Don’t Leave Me Now

all in picture sleeves, are the 2011 remastered versions of the tracks, and available on vinyl for the first time. The box includes a poster. Please note the picture to the right is an early version of the artwork, and not the final version.

The other release of interest is "Syd Barrett: The Photography of Mick Rock" which is limited to 5,000 copies in the US. In a specially printed metal box is a 128 page book of Rock's great photos of Syd, with an accompanying text. The box also contains an exclusive 7" single of Octopus/Golden Hair in a picture bag and on yellow heavyweight vinyl.

Full details of participating stores, not just in North America, but worldwide, can be found at RecordStoreDay.com. Our thanks to Dan Stark, Kevin, and William Buckley for their help with this.
