 WOW - it's now the 27th YEAR of Brain Damage, your Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Syd Barrett, Richard Wright and Roger Waters news resource!
Marking the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd's iconic 1975 album, a range of Wish You Were Here 50 celebratory editions: deluxe box set, blu-ray, 3LP set, 2CD set and coloured vinyl single LPs came out at the end of last year. Full details here. The LA 1975 concert, recorded by Mike Millard and remastered by Steven Wilson, came out as a standalone item on 4LP for Record Store Day, and 2CD across most of the world.
The stunningly restored and remixed Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, and digital was also released in 2025 - and is NOT to be missed. As is the 4K UltraHD edition out now!
Also last year, celebrating the concerts to coincide with David Gilmour's album, Luck and Strange, cinema/IMAX screenings, and a book, 2Blu-ray, 3DVD, 4LP, 2CD and deluxe box set options were also released and are getting very high praise.
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 their 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 much longer 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 which is out now.

With David Gilmour's new album, On
An Island, arriving in less than seven days (it hits the stores on
March 6th in the UK and Europe, and March 7th in the US), we have news
of how you can tune in to a preview of the complete album, and also win
tickets for the special BBC performance by David and his band!
First, that preview. Do you fancy
hearing the album in full, with David introducing each track? Of course
you do! Some 400 radio stations in the US are offering the facility to
do just that - via a special on-demand "Sneak Peek" of the album,
created by Clear Channel. This is the link you need; it will be available until March 2nd.
It is great to hear David
introduce each of the tracks, giving an insight into what is a lovely,
and very personal, album. The quality, as an internet stream, isn't
perfect, and to foil pirates, there is a deliberately annoying tag line
that appears intermittently over the songs, for copyright purposes, but
this is not bad enough to stop you taking that initial listen prior to
hearing the real thing, from your very own CD!
Turning to the special BBC concert that David is performing, for later broadcast, the excellent blog over at DavidGilmour.com (which in itself has become an essential daily visit, is offering a pair of tickets to visitors to the site. Visit the blog for full details... you need to be quick, and be resident in the UK. Good luck in your efforts to get a pair!
Talking of winning - don't forget that our competition to win 'On An Island' goodies ends at midnight GMT on March 5th - so get your entry in! And good luck!
Our thanks to Michael Soucy for his help.
The album can now be ordered for delivery upon release (if you are quick!), through these special links: US/International, UK/Europe, Canada, France or Germany.
And finally, 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.
The vinyl edition will be released shortly after the CD version - as
yet we don't have the exact date, but you shouldn't have to wait too
long. A painstaking job is being taken with this edition, so should be
worth it!
