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!

Pink Floyd Sampler from Best Buy
Pink Floyd Sampler from Best Buy

The US Best Buy store chain has come up with a special item released as part of the Why Pink Floyd remaster and collectors edition campaign, that Floyd collectors (and those after a sneak preview of things to come) will want to snap up.

Simply titled Pink Floyd Sampler, it comes in a specially designed gatefold card slipcase, just like the Discovery editions which were released this week. The first three of the six tracks to be found on this are Money, Wish You Were Here, and Another Brick In The Wall, part 2, all 2011 remaster versions, and no surprises with these inclusions on this sampler. Track four is Us and Them, live from Wembley 1974, as found on the Experience and Immersion DSOTM.

Tracks five and six are where the disc ventures into preview territory: first you have an 'Alternate' version of Have A Cigar, which features not only a completely different musical performance from the whole band, but also lists David Gilmour and Roy Harper on vocals (even though it seems to clearly be Roger Waters with Harper)! This comes with the upcoming Experience and Immersion editions of Wish You Were Here, and is wonderful to hear. Then there's a demo (and I think a band demo, from the sound of it) of Another Brick part 1. This will be on the Experience and Immersion editions of The Wall, coming in February 2012. Completely different lyrics and musical performance, and in sparkling quality, too.

Bestbuy.com are offering the sampler online, but for international buyers, you'll need to have an address in the US to get it delivered to, as they won't ship abroad unfortunately. Our thanks to Brad Kaplan for his help with the info.
