 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.

Those with plenty of spare cash in
their bank accounts could end up with some very nice, rare Pink Floyd
items next week, whilst helping out three very worthwhile charities in
the process.
The highly respected auction
house Christie's are running a "Pop Memorabilia" sale at their South
Kensington branch, and as part of the sale, are a number of items from
(the band's late manager) Steve O'Rourke's estate. They are being sold
to benefit Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy and Winston's Wish, a charity
supporting bereaved children and young people.

| Pink Floyd, UFO 1967 Poster |
Naturally, there are some
wonderful, unusual items - many of which are one-off's presented to
Steve himself. These range from 1966/67 autographed items, early
posters (including a number of 1967 examples, such as the UFO poster to
the right, and a 1969 "Massed Gadgets of Auximenies" poster from the
Royal Festival Hall), through tour t-shirts and collectables spanning
their career, to a number of presentation discs and awards.
The most expensive item (going by
the estimated selling price of £3000-5000) is a pair of metallic
"Division Bell" heads. The majority of the lots are estimated to sell
for between £200-500.
The sale occurs on Thursday, May
25th. The complete list of 32 Pink Floyd lots (sixteen of which are
from Steve's estate) can be seen through this link at www.Christies.com
which has pictures and descriptions of each lot on offer. It might
prove too tempting for some of you though - it certainly had us mulling
over certain lots!
Our thanks to Adam Stanley for letting us know about this auction.
The other charity looking to be
in line for a much deserved cash injection is the UK's NSPCC - the
National Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Children. There is a
Live 8 programme for sale on eBay in aid of the NSPCC, which is signed
by many of the artists who performed at the show. It was donated by
Annette Mason - Nick's wife! You can view the item - and place your bid
- through this link to eBay. Our thanks to Adrian Saunders for letting us know.
