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.

Gilmour on John Peel tribute single Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Wednesday, 21 September 2005

It has been confirmed that Pink Floyd's David Gilmour is amongst artists who have contributed their time and efforts to a tribute single for the late John Peel, British broadcasting legend. The cover version of "Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn't Have Fallen In Love With)" includes Robert Plant, Roger Daltrey, Jeff Beck and New Order's Peter Hook.

The original version came out in the 1970s, from British new wave band The Buzzcocks. It was always one of Peel's favourite singles. Buzzcock Pete Shelley, who wrote the song, also appears on the single.

Proceeds from the record will go to Amnesty International, the political campaign group which Peel supported.

The tribute single is the idea of Tom Ravenscroft, Peel's son, as he worked on a Channel 4 TV documentary about the DJ's record collection. The film focuses on a small wooden box in which Peel kept his 140 favourite singles - including Ever Fallen In Love. Ravenscroft selected the artists involved himself: "All the artists on the record have at some time been played by dad, whether recently or before I was born, and in some cases before they were really popular. It's unpredictable and there's hopefully someone or something in it for every listener. I was astonished and very touched that everyone agreed to be a part of it and I'm sure that the project as a whole and the work that has been put into it would have meant a huge amount to him."

Pete Shelley said of the new version: "It is very eclectic. That was the magic of John, though. He was somebody who embraced all forms of music over the last 40 years."

The record appears in stores on November 21st to coincide with Peel's induction into the UK Music Hall of Fame, which also sees Pink Floyd inducted.
