 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.

Exhibition at 2010 Syd Barrett festival - items wanted |

As we mentioned back on January 26th, The Idea Generation Gallery (IGG) has announced that an exhibition of Syd Barrett's art and letters will be held in London in spring 2011. There will be associated music, film and talk events. Planning is well underway, and you can register to be kept informed by visiting gallery.ideageneration.co.uk and registering. The organisers hope to announce exact dates by the end of December.
This exhibition of art, photography and letter will be bigger and better than the last "Syd Barrett - The City Wakes" held in Cambridge - not only do the organisers again have the support of Syd's sister, Rosemary, but also they have pledges from several old friends of Syd's and art owners to show previously unseen pieces. They also have pledges to loan two considerable collections of letters.
However, the intention is to mount the most comprehensive display of Syd's work, and also, with the expert input of Will Shutes (assistant editor at "The London Magazine"), to provide some serious art interpretation. There will be twice the gallery space as previously, and will be using more innovative and attractive display techniques as well. This should be a real treat!
They've had some people contact them since our last appeal, but have asked more of you for your help...
Do you have any original works by Syd, letters from him, or rare
photographs of, or by him that throw light on his thoughts and actions
that you can loan?
But why loan your private pieces, you may ask?
Brian Wernham, the curator of the art exhibition says:
"There are 4 reasons for those that are lucky enough to own 'Syd'
artworks to offer them for loan for the exhibition. There are advantages
to the owners of such work in loaning their work, which is why I will
be loaning 6 'Syd' pieces myself:
- It is great to spread 'the word' about Syd's creative abilities
(not just music) to a new generation of admirers
- Beautiful art should be seen by as many as possible not hidden away
- There are hidden connections in his art that can be seen when they
are placed next to each other (as will be demonstrated at the
exhibition)
- The provenance of items will be strengthened by inclusion in the
official exhibition catalogue (forgery and bad resales of some artists
on eBay is becoming a real problem)."
To all owners: please contact Brian at
