Pink Floyd 1968WOW - 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.

Written by Matt

The US specialist publication, Guitar World Magazine, has just published an issue of their Guitar Legends series devoted to Pink Floyd, with a strong focus on the instrumental side of the band.

Boasting an eye-catching cover, the magazine hosts a blend of interviews, features, transcriptions and instruction.

 

Guitar LegendsFrom the Guitar World website, here's a rundown of the magazine's contents:

    PINK FLOYD TRACK BY TRACK
    David Gilmour reflects on his creative partnership with Roger Waters and his own role in making Pink Floyd one of rock's most innovative and experimental bands.
     
    SYD BARRETT: THE TRUE STORY
    Pink Floyd's original mad genius, Syd Barrett, was the primary inspiration for such classics as Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall. His story is one of rock's great tragedies.
     
    THE DIVISION BELL
    The ordinarily reserved David Gilmour discusses his perspective — personal, political and musician — on Pink Floyd's brilliant 1994 album.
     
    THE STORY OF THE WALL
    In this comprehensive history, Guitar Legends chronicles the making of rock's grandest concept album, and how it nearly destroyed its creators.
     
    THE MEN BEHIND THE BOARD
    The Wall producer Bob Ezrin and Dark Side of the Moon engineer Alan Parsons reveal a saucer-full of studio secrets.
     
    THE MAKING OF ANIMALS
    The year was 1977. England's economy was in the shitter. Unemployment was sky high. Punk rock declared war on the world. And Pink Floyd captured the whole foul wind in their bitter masterpiece Animals.
     
    THE ART OF PINK FLOYD
    Visionary designer Storm Thorgerson looks back at 30 years of landmark album art.
     
    HOW TO PLAY "DOGS"
    A step-by-step guide to playing "Dogs," the forgotten masterpiece from Floyd's 1977 classic Animals.
     
    PINK FLOYD TRANSCRIBED
    "COMFORTABLY NUMB", "WISH YOU WERE HERE", "MONEY", "SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND", "ASTRONOMY DOMINE", and "ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL (PART 2)"
The magazine is hitting the newsstands this week, and will be available in selected countries worldwide in due course, as an import. The publishers also sell this by mail order worldwide - through this link. Postage costs vary depending on destination and how quickly you want to receive it. The cover price of the magazine itself is $7.99.

 

Our thanks to Jon Rosenbaum for the information about this magazine.
