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.

Major Pink Floyd feature/interviews in new Word Magazine Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Saturday, 06 November 2004

We previously made mention of an upcoming feature on Pink Floyd in the excellent Word Magazine. We now have full details of what sounds like a fascinating read...

Initially, the band were due to appear on the cover, but with the tragic death of John Peel, the day before they went to press, a tribute to the DJ has taken precedence (naturally). Pink Floyd, one of John's favourite bands, still appears, as a drop in at the top of the cover (see right).

The main interest in the issue rests in the exclusive, indepth and potentially controversial interviews with both Roger Waters and Nick Mason.

Nick looks back at his fascinating new chronicle Inside Out: A Personal History Of Pink Floyd - and they've included some of its best photographs, including Roger, Rick and Nick in The Tea Set; the Floyd with The Move, Amen Corner and The Jimi Hendrix Experience; and a stunning photo of Roger and Nick in Sigma 6 at Regent Street Poly in 1964.

And you HAVE to hear Roger Waters on Nick's book - "complete bollocks, a case of selective memory". And on The Division Bell - "Jesus Christ, have you ever LISTENED to it?". And on David Gilmour's wife - "she writes all the lyrics, it's SO Spinal Tap!".

Also included are writer David Hepworth's 12 reasons why the Pink Floyd may be the most influential group in the world.

If you can't find Word Magazine in a shop near you, (and the December 2004 issue reported on here goes on sale from November 9th in the UK), try www.wordmagazine.co.uk. As long-term subscribers to Word, we can vouch for the great entertainment each issue provides. It's a great read! Our thanks to editor Mark Ellen for keeping us posted with information regarding this Floyd special - cheers, Mark!
