Pink Floyd 1968WOW - it's now the 27th YEAR of Brain Damage, your Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Syd Barrett, Richard Wright and Roger Waters news resource!

Marking the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd's iconic 1975 album, a range of Wish You Were Here 50 celebratory editions: deluxe box set, blu-ray, 3LP set, 2CD set and coloured vinyl single LPs came out at the end of last year. Full details here. The LA 1975 concert, recorded by Mike Millard and remastered by Steven Wilson, came out as a standalone item on 4LP for Record Store Day, and 2CD across most of the world.

The stunningly restored and remixed Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, and digital was also released in 2025 - and is NOT to be missed. As is the 4K UltraHD edition out now!

Also last year, celebrating the concerts to coincide with David Gilmour's album, Luck and Strange, cinema/IMAX screenings, and a book, 2Blu-ray, 3DVD, 4LP, 2CD and deluxe box set options were also released and are getting very high praise.

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 their 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 much longer 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 which is out now.

Alan Parsons doing talks in Abbey Road Print E-mail

Alan Parsons and David Hepworth, Abbey Road Studios

London's legendary Abbey Road Studios is opening its doors to the public this November to host a series of lectures under the name 'Sleeve Notes: From Mono To Infinity' presented by acclaimed music producer and recording engineer (plus one-time Vice-President of the Studios…) Alan Parsons.

During the talks he will be opening up about the development of his own skills and experience as an engineer, producer and recording artist at Abbey Road, placing these alongside the ongoing developments in music technology at the Studios that allowed him and others to create such ground-breaking records that continue to survive the test of time.

The talks will include audio, footage, photos and the vintage studio equipment used to create some of his and the Studios' classic tracks. They will also include an audience Q&A co-hosted by David Hepworth whose journalistic and TV credits include work for The Guardian, NME, Q, Mojo and The Old Grey Whistle Test.

Alan Parsons' career at Abbey Road began when he was a trainee engineer on The Beatles' final two albums, Let It Be and Abbey Road, and he went on to handle mixing duties on Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother and The Dark Side Of The Moon. As an artist and producer in his own right in the Alan Parsons Project he went on to record a series of works throughout the 70s and 80s at Abbey Road including Tales Of Mystery And Imagination, I Robot, and Eye In The Sky.

Tickets for the events are now available through this direct link at Seetickets. The sessions take place on Friday 13th November 2015, at 3pm and 8pm; Saturday 14th, at 11am and 4pm; and Sunday 15th at 4pm.
