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!

Exclusive Gilmour 4 track CD with paperback of Polly Samson's "...Dreamers" novel Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Thursday, 18 March 2021

Polly Samson's A Theatre For Dreamers book with exclusive four track bonus CD with music by David Gilmour and Romany GilmourMost of you will be aware of A Theatre for Dreamers, Polly Samson's most recent bestselling novel, which was a 2020 book of the year in The Times and Sunday Times, The Telegraph, The Daily Mail and Spectator. To accompany the book, David Gilmour created some new music, principally for the audiobook version of A Theatre For Dreamers. One song in particular, Yes, I Have Ghosts, received a standalone, 7" single release for Record Store Day last year.

Just announced is the paperback edition, with the Rough Trade record store chain offering an exclusive edition at roughtrade.com/gb/polly-samson/a-theatre-for-dreamers. Ordered through them, the book comes with an exclusive bonus CD, featuring four songs inspired by the book. Initial orders had the bonus of the CD being signed by Samson and Gilmour, but those quickly sold out. They got hold of a few more signed CDs, so don't delay if you fancy one (and if they still have one) - and make sure you select the "Paperback+" option which is the signed version, if it is there when you are ordering! The four tracks were written by Samson and Gilmour, and performed by Gilmour and the couple's daughter Romany. Songs 2, 3 and 4 are instrumentals.

CD Track Listing:

  1. Yes, I Have Ghosts
  2. Tell The Truth
  3. Astral Dust
  4. Kokineli

We don't know how limited this edition is yet, nor if the first song, Yes, I Have Ghosts, is a different version to what has been released already. We do suspect this will sell very quickly, so suggest you get your orders in now! Please note that this CD isn't being offered with the paperback book through other retailers - it's just Rough Trade.
