 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.

Gilmour/Floyd coverage in new magazines |
|
|

Written by Matt

Wednesday, 19 July 2006 |

A couple of magazines should be
hitting the shelves just about now, that include a good amount of Pink
Floyd and David Gilmour coverage on their pages.
 |
| Mojo, August 2006 |
 |
| Rock et Folk, August 2006 |
First up is the UK's Mojo
Magazine. Its August 2006 issue has a major chunk of coverage given
over to the Mojo Honours List 2006, which we reported on, back on June 6th.
The article has some great portraits of the winners - including David
Gilmour - taken by master lensman Ross Halfin (who took a load of great
shots of Gilmour earlier in the year - reported on here).
David won the Mojo Lifetime
Achievement Award, which was presented by friend, neighbour, and
current bandmate Phil Manzanera. David noted how he was "more terrified
[being up on stage alone accepting the award] than I was playing the
Albert Hall!"
A brief interview appears
alongside David's portrait, which includes the encouraging answer that
"I've enjoyed [On An Island] so much that I can't wait to start
fiddling around in my studio again".
Completing their coverage of the
event are some backstage pictures, and details of some items they are
auctioning for charity - a signed Les Paul guitar, signed van doors
(!), and a set of four, specially printed and signed covers, each one
of a kind.
Elsewhere in the issue is a small
picture of Gilmour and David Bowie hugging each other at London's Royal
Albert Hall. Bowie did a great Arnold Layne and Comfortably Numb on the
first of Gilmour's three consecutive shows there at the end of May.
Mojo is available now in the UK, and in a number of countries as an import. More details can be found at www.mojo4music.com.
The awards ceremony itself can be
heard on Mojo Radio again on July 29th at 9pm, and July 30th at 11pm.
Mojo Radio is on Sky channel 0182, and Freeview channel 721.
Appearing on French store shelves this week is the August issue of the long-running Rock et Folk magazine.
As you will see from the cover
shot to the right, it is a Pink Floyd special. The strapline on the
cover asks "Can they reform?" and there are thirty pages inside the
magazine that look at the band's history, and what could be ahead of
them.
Whilst we haven't seen the
magazine yet, French publications always tend to have a range of great,
otherwise unseen pictures of the band from all eras of their career.
The coverage is split into a number of sections, with articles looking
at "The Obscure Side Of Floyd", "The English Psychedelic Scene", "I Am
Full Of Dust and Guitars", and "Children of Floyd".
The magazine does not tend to be available outside of France, but if you visit www.rocknfolk.com in a month or two's time, they may have it available to buy as a back issue. These, they sell worldwide.
Our thanks to Alain Natali for letting us know about this...
