 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.

Well-respected, top English producer/engineer Nick Griffiths, long time associate of Pink Floyd and Roger Waters, sadly passed away on March 20th, aged 53, following complications after a transplant operation, it has been confirmed. The funeral near his Sussex home in England took place in private, with many of his friends and colleagues in attendance.
The ex-Britannia Row engineer worked on David Gilmour's eponymous 1978 album, then on the band's "The Wall" album (1979), before concentrating on their solo albums - Nick Mason & Rick Fenn's "Profiles" (1985), Roger's "When The Wind Blows" (1986), "Radio KAOS" (1987), "The Wall Live In Berlin" (1990) and "Amused To Death" (1992).
However, Griffiths also had a long career working with other artists - Richard Thompson, Joy Division, Squeeze, Killing Joke, John Peel's Peel Sessions, and engineered Queen's legendary 1973 BBC sessions.
Griffiths also was instrumental in building Roger Waters home studio and Brittania Row Studios in
England. Grififths also toured with Roger Waters as Sound Production Engineer.
One of Griffiths defining moments was coming up with the idea of the "kid's choir" on "Another Brick In The Wall pt 2". One day in the autumn of 1979, Griffiths arrived at Islington Green School, asking to see the music teacher. He said that he was up against a deadline and needed some children to sing on a record that he was mixing at a studio nearby. Alun Renshaw, the school's head of music, rounded up a dozen children that he knew could sing, and put it to them: would they like to be on a record by one of the greatest British bands of the era - Pink Floyd? The rest was history...
We have posted a tribute to Nick in our obituary section.
