Brain Damage and A Fleeting Glimpse

Pink Floyd 1968WELCOME 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?!

The stunningly restored and remixed Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, digital and cinema screenings are now here - with some more cinema screenings in selected places. However you experience it, it is 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! Before all that though is the release of Roger Waters This Is Not A Drill Live In Prague on 4LP vinyl, Blu-ray, DVD, 2CD and digital on August 1st!

Abbey Road mixing console in upcoming auction Print E-mail
Written by Matt

Abbey Road consoleBonhams auction house in New York are auctioning a very unusual item on March 27th at 1pm EDT. It's lot 35 of the TCM Presents...Rock and Roll Through The Lens auction, which also includes such diverse items as a pair of Cher's shoes, and Jimi Hendrix's recorder. The item in question goes beyond the realms of what you could consider a possible purchase to add to your Pink Floyd collection, unless you have (a) a lot of space to house it, and (b) a rather large wallet/bank account.

On offer is an Abbey Road Studios EMI TG12345 Mk IV recording console used between 1971-1983. Take from Studio 2, it was used for some of the recording of The Dark Side of the Moon (not all the recording of this album took place in Studio 2). The auction listing notes it was used by many other artists including: Paul McCartney and Wings, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Kate Bush and in later years The Cure. The console is "referred to as the greatest console ever constructed due to the collaboration with Abbey Road and EMI engineers, with the production of every component being built to military precision." Full documentation will be supplied to the winning bidder, along with a vintage picture of Pink Floyd - oh, and a copy of The Dark Side of the Moon!

For those who'd like to take a look at this piece of musical history, the lot will be on view at Bonhams Knightsbridge (London) between March 19th-27th, but please note it will not be on view in their New York offices.

The auction listing found at Bonhams.com has plenty of information about the console, and recording TDSOTM, as well as other pictures of the item. For those trying to justify the purchase, the auction house notes that the desk is in working order...so if you have a need for such a thing, it might be ideal!
