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.

Household Objects – 50th Anniversary Tribute to Pink Floyd’s Abandoned Work Print E-mail
Written by Matt

Household Objects - various artists; album coverIn an imaginative homage to one of Pink Floyd's most intriguing projects, a new album titled Household Objects is set for release marking 50 years since the band's mythical experiment of the same name was first conceived and then quietly shelved. The people behind this release took a bunch of well-known musicians from multiple disciplines, took away their instruments, and asked them to honour this 50th anniversary.

Featuring contributions from a lineup of musical cult figures and underground legends, including the legendary face-hiding band The Residents, this project revives and reinterprets the spirit of the original Pink Floyd concept, creating music entirely without conventional instruments. The people behind it suggest that "the sonic world of Household Objects is a surreal, immersive, and strangely emotive journey through sonic architecture crafted from the mundane".

None other than Nick Mason has endorsed the release with the following words, featured in the foreword of the CD booklet: "I have to say that 50 years later the resurrection of this idea seems much more manageable, and the work produced on this album is in my opinion, far more interesting than anything we created. I salute all the contributors to this work and if we have encouraged, or in some ways inspired, these recordings then maybe it wasn't such a wasted effort!"

The producers of this new collection say that "Household Objects is a cohesive and compelling piece of sonic art that celebrates the radical possibilities of sound, the value of risk in creativity, and the enduring influence of Pink Floyd's experimental spirit". For those who enjoy the more avant-garde elements of the band's earlier material (such as Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast, for example) this should prove a fascinating listen.

Compiled, curated and produced by William Hayter and Barry Lamb, Household Objects is beautifully packaged, graced with Michael Leigh's artwork and Sean Kelly's equally excellent photography. Officially due for release at the end of August, it is actually available now to order as a limited edition CD release from ReR Megacorp and will also be available on all the usual digital platforms.
