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 - packaging information Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Monday, 06 February 2006

We posted a story recently which clarified the formats that David Gilmour's new album, On An Island, which hits the stores on March 6th in the UK and Europe, and March 7th in the US, would appear in. We spoke with David's management this afternoon, and details of the packaging have now been revealed.

DAVID GILMOUR - ON AN ISLAND
On An Island cover
A number of retailers around the world are mentioning, and offering for sale alongside the 'standard' version, a 'Special Edition' of the 'On An Island' album. As we mentioned before, this isn't true as there is only going to be the 'standard' edition.

However, this does promise to actually be rather special in itself - better than many of the special editions that are released.

The packaging for the CD is designed like a book, with stiff card covers and 20 pages of full-colour lyrics, illustrations and photographs. The effect is topped off by an actual cloth spine, with silver foil lettering. This will be the packaging for every copy of the CD sold - so don't be tempted by the more expensive offerings out there... they simply don't exist.

The vinyl edition is a single LP, housed in a gatefold sleeve, designed, like the CD, by Steve Knee. Work on this is just being finished now, and the vinyl edition should be available around the same time, or shortly after, the CD arrives in the stores.

We suspect that a number of you have already placed an order for the limited edition double CD from the various retailers who are still offering this. We would suggest you cancel the order and get your orders in for the single disc editions, to ensure you are near the front of the queue for when they are despatched at the start of March!

If you wish to order the album from Amazon, for delivery upon release, you can do so through these special links: US/International, UK/Europe, Canada, France or Germany.

We know that a number of you will also want to buy the vinyl edition (or indeed, instead of the CD version!). Here's the links you need for this edition, which will be in a specially designed gatefold sleeve: Amazon UK, France, or Germany.
