 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!

David Gilmour's On An Island - radio and eclipse news! |

With David Gilmour's new album, On
An Island, arriving in four days (it hits the stores on March 6th in
the UK and Europe, and March 7th in the US), and our review tomorrow,
we have some more news on radio broadcasts, and of a bizarre
coincidence, linking an upcoming astronomical event with David's album!
On March 29th, 2006, there will be a total (100%) solar eclipse
- that is, the sun will be eclipsed by the moon! As unusual as these
events are, the really unusual thing is that the only European place to
see the 100% eclipse will be a small Greek island off the Turkish
coast, called... Castellorizon! Most of you will be aware that this
island forms a central theme for David's album, and indeed, the first
track is named after it.
Our thanks to Savvas for getting in contact with this timely coincidence!
In other news, we have details of
all the different US/Canadian broadcasters airing the various David
Gilmour specials over the next few days/week.
Firstly, we've already told you
about the Canadian album premiere and interview. For full details of
which radio stations are carrying this, and at what times, CLICK HERE.
The Rock Stations one-hour Radio
Special will air at some time between Friday 3rd March and Monday 6th
March (check with your local station for full details). CLICK HERE for details.
The AAA Stations one-hour Radio
Special will air at some time between Friday 3rd March and Monday 6th
March (check with your local station for full details). CLICK HERE for details.
As mentioned before, there will
also be syndicated programmes of In the Studio with Red Beard, and
Rockline, which is syndicated to 60 classic rock stations, and should
be broadcast on Wednesday 8th March, so listen out for that. US digital
station Sirius Satellite Radio will be devoting its The Vault channel
to David Gilmour and Pink Floyd, featuring music and interviews from
Monday 6th March to Friday 10th March.
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!
