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!

DSOTM being released on UMD format for PSPs Print E-mail
Written by Matt

Eagle Rock Entertainment have announced that they will be releasing a bunch of titles for the emerging new format for portable entertainment - the Universal Media Disc (UMD) format for the Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) game device - and amongst these will be the excellent "Classic Albums: Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon".

Whilst no release date has been set for this title, it is expected to be one of the first to be released from their range, joining the currently limited range on the shelves. Other companies are now preparing their catalogues for release on the format.

In addition to gaming, the Sony PSP allows owners to view movies and music video programs, listen to music and download files. The PSP features a high resolution screen, and the UMD’s themselves, housed in a lightweight plastic disc sleeve, have a high data capacity (1.8 gigabytes) that makes the most of the handheld player's capabilities. Sound is presented in stereo through the built-in speakers, or through headphones.

Eagle Rock Entertainment's Executive VP Mike Carden said: “As soon as we saw the quality of the image produced on the PlayStation Portable, we knew it could be a very successful vehicle for our products and we wanted to be the first-to-market with visual music titles.” The Sony PSP has sold extremely well since its release on March 24th, and the Wall Street Journal reports that Sony expects to ship 12 million units worldwide this year.

Whilst the quality isn't as good as the equivalent DVD, it provides a convenient format for entertainment while out and about, travelling to work, and so on.

As soon as we have the release date and order details for the Dark Side Of The Moon UMD, we'll let you know.
