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!

David Gilmour - first two album remasters - final date set Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Monday, 10 July 2006

We reported previously that the promised reissues of David Gilmour's highly regarded first two solo albums, were finally on their way. Due to hit the stores on the same day as Pink Floyd's PULSE DVD - July 10th/11th, delays struck these titles, but David's website have now confirmed the revised date for these to appear.

They will now be in the stores on August 14th in Europe (via EMI), and August 15th in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand (via SonyBMG).

They add that the CDs have been remastered by Doug Sax of the Mastering Lab and Pink Floyd audio associate James Guthrie respectively, whose dedication to quality extends beyond the mastering to the actual CD pressings. They have been working closely with Sony and EMI to ensure that the actual CD pressings are the best that mass pressing equipment can produce, and the approval process has taken up a little time, hence the delay.

From the huge number of emails we had during David's recent tour, bemoaning the fact that none of the tracks from these albums were played live, it is obvious that these are going to popular CDs.

For those of you who haven't heard one/both of these, you are in for a treat. The first album has a bluesy feel, a contrast to David's work on the then recently released Animals album, whilst the second brings a more contemporary feel, a precursor to later period Floyd albums (A Momentary Lapse Of Reason and The Division Bell).

We understand that the packaging is as before, and contrary to very early reports about these titles, there are NO additional tracks.
