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.

Fully Floyd signed Live8 programme in auction Print E-mail
Written by Matt

l8signedAt 9pm last night (Thursday) a very unusual item went on offer on the auction website, eBay.co.uk, in aid of a very worthy charity.

With just thirty minutes to go before they hit the London stage with their headline making reunion performance, the four past and present members of Pink Floyd were busy backstage. Not with going over the lyrics, or practicing guitar chords, but signing nine copies of the commemorative programme from the event in their dressing room!

 

One of these nine went to British Airways for their children's charity. Shuki Sen, for and on behalf of Pink Floyd Management, very kindly gave Oxfam one of the remaining eight, very rare signed programmes for their charity auction.

Oxfam GB is a development, relief, and campaigning organisation that works with others to find lasting solutions to poverty and suffering around the world. They believe that everyone is entitled to a life of dignity and opportunity; and they work with poor communities, local partner organisations, volunteers, and supporters to make this a reality. Oxfam's goal is a world where every person is: Secure, Skilled, Equal, Safe, Healthy, Heard.

The auction, which runs for ten days (finishing at 9pm GMT on November 19th), is a very rare opportunity to get your hands on a genuine set of the band's autographs, obtained during a momentous day, whilst helping Oxfam to raise the maximum amount of money to help the work they do in impoverished countries.

Bidding is up and running now; so, good luck in your bid on a piece of pop history!

Our thanks to David Russell from Oxfam Music for the info.
