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 - On An Island bonus CD details Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Thursday, 09 March 2006

Tuesday saw an unexpected surprise for US fans when they went to their local Best Buy to pick up David Gilmour's great new album, On An Island.

As an exclusive, limited edition for that chain of stores, a bonus CD was included featuring the track "Island Jam", that was available for download around Christmas-time from DavidGilmour.com.

On An Island limited edition

These have naturally sold incredibly fast, despite most people being unaware of this edition until now.

Basically, this is how it is/was presented in those stores.

They took the regular package and with some of that glue like plastic (the kind that keeps the CD on the MOJO cover) affixed a single disc slip cover on top, then wrapped/sealed the two as one.

This slip cover has the same artwork as the regular package, so there isn't anything amiss if you just glanced it over.

However, the sticker that says "David Gilmour On An Island The New Studio Album....." is on the top/outside, and there is an additional sticker (in the same typeface and color) "Best Buy Exclusive! Free Bonus CD Includes Rare Non-Album Track "Island Jam".

On the back, there is another barcode sticker above the one on the regular packaging. This is a different barcode, (probably to differentiate the sales for Best Buy).

So, you remove one layer of wrap to get to the bonus disc.

The bonus disc is also sealed, and the regular package is still sealed and still has it's top spine sticker.





Here's what the bonus disc looks like...

We're not sure how many Best Buy stores in the US still have copies for sale, or if they will be getting more supplies. Best Buy don't sell via mail order outside the US, but for those who want to snap up this edition, loads are starting to appear on eBay (surprise surprise!).

Our thanks to all those who wrote in with information, with particular thanks to Ray Vawter, Nick Urmston, and Christopher Kluttz.
