 WELCOME 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 and cinema/IMAX screenings, and a book, 2Blu-ray, 3DVD, 4LP, 2CD and deluxe box set options have now been announced.
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!

With the imminent release of his new
album "On An Island", David Gilmour's presence is being felt across the
world's airwaves, with a number of interviews and features coming up.

| David Gilmour |
We have already mentioned David's appearance on March 2nd, on BBC Radio 4's Front Row, and the BBC Radio 2 concert recording on March 7th (to be aired on a future date).
He is also due to appear on the
US rock radio call-in show "Rockline" on March 8th, taking calls with
US fans. More details of the stations which carry the syndicated show
can be found at Rockline.com. As we mentioned last week, Rockline are also repeating their look at The Wall on February 22nd.
Not content with this, the radio
show "In The Studio", hosted by Redbeard, will spotlight the album on
March 13th. Check your local (US) radio station for scheduling details,
as there is no central website for "In The Studio", or The Album
Network who produce the programme.
Looking back to Friday, a number
of Pink Floyd fans managed to get the message across to BBC Radio 2
that "On An Island" deserved to be heard by the nation! Richard
Allison, standing in for Steve Wright, played the single edit and asked
for people's views. Deluged with texts and emails, he was forced to
play it again within the space of just 90 minutes - a fairly
unprecidented move!
If you want to hear the show, then visit the BBC Radio 2 website,
click on the LISTEN AGAIN link, and select last Friday's 'Steve Wright
in the Afternoon' show. You want 39 minutes for the first play and two
hours and six minutes for the second.
Johnnie Walker will be playing
"On An Island" on his show this evening, beginning at 5:05pm, where
details of the special BBC concert in London will also be revealed.
In the meantime, why not contact
your local (or indeed national!) radio station and request that they
play the song? Enough pressure, and they will play the full album
version!
Our thanks to Terrence Reardon, Anil Prasad and Ben Dobie for their help with this info.
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.
