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!

Hungarian edition of Echoes by Glenn Povey Brain Damage founder Glenn Povey, author of the truly essential book "Echoes: The Complete History of Pink Floyd" has been in touch, with the news that it has received a second edition UK printing via 3C Publishing, and that the first in a series of foreign language editions has been published. We have details of which foreign language editions are in the pipeline, how our Hungarian readers can get hold of their copy of this book, and also how people everywhere can pick up a copy of the second edition UK version at a knock-down price...

Completists may wish to note the new UK edition has some updates to captions, illustrations and factual information contained in the first pressing (Mind Head Publishing, 2006) as new information has come to light. The 3C edition is printed in exactly the same format on slightly heavier stock but has been aimed squarely at the promotional trade and has enabled sales through UK retailers such as HMV and Fopp at a discounted price.

There is no direct mail order from the publisher but you can order this edition through Amazon UK, although it is recommended you check on the 'new' link to access third party retailers who are also able to sell it at the reduced cover price, by following this link.

Also of interest to BD readers in Hungary is the first in a series of foreign language editions - Cartaphilus are the first publishers to translate "Echoes" into a foreign language and it has been beautifully reproduced with a redesigned hardback cover to roughly the same dimensions. For further details please see the Cartaphilus website (www.cartaphilus.hu) or order a copy from either of these two websites: www.polc.hu or www.konyvkapu.hu.

Glenn's Mind Head Publishing is also pleased to announce that foreign language rights have now been sold to France, Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, Poland and China (in an abridged form). Also under negotiation are rights for Serbia, Brazil, Korea and at long last the USA. We will of course keep you posted on publication dates and details of availability.
