Sony are reissuing the special 2CD edition of the Zabriskie Point movie soundtrack on April 19th, 2010. Originally released by Rhino in 1997, the album includes not just the three Pink Floyd tracks that were on the original vinyl release ("Heartbeat, Pigmeat", "Crumbling Land" and "Come In Number 51, Your Time Is Up"), but augments it with a further four tracks, outtakes from the recording sessions.

Thus, for those who haven't heard them before, the opportunity is now there to hear "Country Song", "Unknown Song", "Love Scene version 6", and "Love Scene version 4". Certainly worth hearing these additional tracks!

Pre-orders can now be made for this special edition from Amazon UK, Amazon.com, Amazon Canada, Amazon Germany, or Amazon France, from Play.com, and from HMV.com, who also have an exclusive edition of the movie on DVD currently on offer.

A reminder for you of an upcoming TV show that might be of interest: US TV crime series Cold Case occasionally creates themed episodes featuring songs from one artist and in March it will be Pink Floyd's turn. The US debut screening of the episode in question - 'Flashover' (season 7, episode 17 of the show) - is this coming Sunday (March 21st) at 10pm EST (Eastern Standard Time) on the CBS Network. The series runs on Sky 1 and Sky 3 in the UK (Sky 1 running new episodes, and Sky 3 the repeat showings), and in a number of other countries, including the Netherlands, Argentina, Chile, Hungary and Spain, but we have no information yet on specific dates, times, or networks. Please check your local TV listings for airing details.

The episode will include extracts of seven songs: Comfortably Numb, Hey You, Mother, Marooned, Wish You Were Here, Time and The Thin Ice, and is starting to be heavily advertised in the US on TV and in other media. Who knows, this show may well result in a number of new Pink Floyd fans!

Our thanks to all of you who entered our latest competition, which offered three lucky Brain Damage visitors each a pair of tickets, in exchange for correctly answering a couple of questions about the band's history.

As expected, the competition was very popular. The Australian Pink Floyd show are old friends of Brain Damage - they first performed in the UK back in 1993 at the debut BD fan convention - and their next major tour of the UK starts in April. Tickets traditionally sell very quickly indeed, so if you aren't a winner this time around, make sure you order your tickets now through Ticketmaster.co.uk or Seetickets.com to avoid missing out on a show that so many Floyd fans rave about.

So, where are they playing, and who were the lucky three to win the pair of tickets? Read on for full details...
