Pink Floyd's Delicate Sound and Great Dance Songs coming on 180g vinyl Print E-mail

Pink Floyd - Delicate Sound of Thunder 180g heavyweight vinyl
Pink Floyd - A Collection of Great Dance Songs 180g heavyweight vinyl

On 17th November 2017, Pink Floyd Records will reissue A Collection Of Great Dance Songs and Delicate Sound Of Thunder on vinyl, the first time they have been available on this format for well over twenty years. These are the band's first 'best of' and live albums to be remastered on vinyl.

Over the past two years, Pink Floyd Records has released the entire studio collection as stereo remastered versions on heavyweight 180g vinyl. All are mastered from the original analogue studio tapes with album artwork faithfully reproduced. The same applies to these best of and live albums.

Originally released in 1981, A Collection Of Great Dance Songs was certified Double Platinum by the RIAA in 2001. The compilation album contains alternative mixes and versions of the band's classics including Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2) and Money.

Recorded live over five nights in August 1988 at the Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, NY, Delicate Sound Of Thunder became infamous for being the first rock album to be played in outer space.

With many of you out there committed vinyl enthusiasts, we're sure that these editions will be very popular. Thus, below we list dedicated ordering links for both albums on vinyl - using these will give a small but vital contribution to the running costs of Brain Damage, without costing you a penny/cent extra, and we really appreciate it!

Roger Waters - Us + Them TourFollowing the almost daily announcements now of shows for the Roger Waters 2018 European Us + Them tour, five further dates have been revealed - an additional show in Scotland, and confirmation of four shows in Spain.

As you wait for further show announcements, we've again looked at the full list of countries that the 2018 European tour will visit, and it seems that France is the remaining country not to have been declared yet. Of course, there may be additional shows in countries which we already have dates for, depending on ticket demand. Watch out for full details of additional concert dates following soon.

Here's the newly announced dates:

Dedicated pages for each of the above, newly announced shows on the tour are now live, joining the show pages already shown in the 2018 Roger Waters tour area. As the rest of the European tour is announced, a page for every concert will be in place: the place to find out information on each show, and to see, once the concert has taken place, pictures, video and commentary.

The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains � a last look in London Print E-mail

The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains at the V&A in London May - Oct 2017

If you haven't made it to the Victoria & Albert Museum in London for the Pink Floyd exhibition, Their Mortal Remains, or you want to see it again before it closes, you're in luck: as mentioned previously here on Brain Damage, the museum has extended the exhibition, but it must close for good on October 15th.

Tickets for the extended run, and the extra hours they are also running on selected dates (opening from 9am, and staying open until 10pm), are on sale now but selling extremely fast - this has officially been the V&A's most successful music exhibition they have held, with over 373,000 visitors since it opened in May this year. This coming weekend the exhibition will be open for an incredible 42 hours, to help people get in and see it.

Here are some pointers on what to look for to get the most out of your first and/or last visit(s) on this final stretch in London.

Several things to note if you plan to squeeze this in sometime in the remaining two weeks: the lines are still long (but fast-moving), tickets are difficult to buy at the door (they are usually sold-out for the day on the day), and the walk along the exhibit is still elbow-to-elbow (particularly at the beginning). Obviously some times of the day are preferable to others - if you can get to the museum for an early session, you will find it much quieter and easier to move around, as many people are travelling to get to the V&A.

Many of the review items Brain Damage's Matt related at the beginning of the exhibition stand and will be underscored here. Here's a quick guide:
