The saga of Brain Damage continues with a move to A4 size, and glossy covers!
Issue 11: May 1987
A5, 32 pagesMore
about the new releases, and also touring plans and itineraries. Also,
the second part of the poster article, and the first part of a US
discography.
Issue 12: July 1987
A5, 32 pagesConcentrating
on the two camps projects, which were gathering momentum. Included were
the early Floyd dates, and a large review of Radio KAOS. There's also
some nice live pictures from Stafford in 1977, and the second part of
Vernon Fitch's US discography.
Issue 13: September 1987
A5, 32 pagesThe
last of the A5 format magazine, and also the last of the matt (ie,
non-shiny) covers. Predictably, plenty on the new PF album, AMLoR, and
plenty on both camps tours (just about to start as BD went to press.
There's also a large interview Brain Damage undertook with Joe Boyd.
Finally, the Capital Radio Pink Floyd mega documentary gets the first
part transcribed. (The subsequent five parts are in the following
issues).
Issue 14: February 1988
A4 glossy colour cover (as are all future issues), 32 pagesFirst
of the A4 format magazines, with a glossy cover. The increased page
size enabled more information to be included. The main attraction of
this issue was the exclusive interview with Pink Floyd, backstage in
Chicago. Other articles covered the PF tour, and also the KAOS tour,
all of which in depth.
Issue 15: April 1988
A4 glossy colour cover, 32 pagesPlenty
of information relating to the PF 1988 tour, along with a detailed look
at the previous years activities (including "home videos" shot at the
various concerts). There's also the first news of the acetate of Lucy
Leave and King Bee - with lyrics and pictures of the acetate labels!
Also, an incredibly rare shot of the 1965 Floyd with Rado (Bob) Klose.
Issue 16: July 1988
A4 glossy colour cover, 32 pagesPlenty
more on the 1988 shows, with lots of pictures. There's also a
transcription, with original pictures, of the original concept of the
film, The Wall. There's also some pages from the original script.
Remember, the original concept featured the band heavily! Finally,
there's a Richard Wright retrospective.
Issue 17: October 1988
A4 glossy colour cover, 32 pagesPlenty
of general news especially in relation to new releases. There's a brief
interview with saxophonist Scott Page, a transcription of the Wired TV
programme interview, plenty of details of rare CDs to collect, and more
on collectable videos.
Issue 18: Early 1989
A4 glossy colour cover, 32 pagesThe
issue kicks off with plenty of news relating to new and future
releases, a number of concert reviews, an interview with Nick
concerning the Delicate Sound Of Thunder album going into space, plenty
of discographies, book reviews, and most interestingly of all, a
reproduction of one of Syd/Roger Barrett's paintings from the mid
seventies! It depicts a dinner table - cups, plates, cutlery...
Issue 19: May 1989
A4 glossy colour cover, 32 pagesThe
big story in this issue is the 1989 European tour - and the positive
move of playing in places that are not normally included on tours by
big acts - Russia, Greece, and of course, Venice! There is a
transcription of the full 1979 Roger Waters interview on Radio 1
concerning The Wall album, plus all the normal bits and pieces.
Issue 20: August 1989
A4 glossy colour cover, 32 pagesThe
main thrust of this issue was the 1989 Pink Floyd tour - plenty of
pictures, news, reviews of concerts (and videos, and bootlegs!), and
information on the rehearsals. There's also a reprint of a rare 1974
ZigZag magazine interview with the band, parts of which were used in
Miles' Pink Floyd book.
