Pink Floyd The Black Strat book by Phil Taylor
Nick Mason Inside Out signed copy
Brain Damage and A Fleeting Glimpse

Pink Floyd 1968WELCOME TO THE 26th YEAR OF BRAIN DAMAGE, YOUR PINK FLOYD, DAVID GILMOUR, NICK MASON, SYD BARRETT, RICHARD WRIGHT AND ROGER WATERS NEWS RESOURCE!

It's 2025! This year sees the 50th anniversary of Wish You Were Here, which is an incredible thought; where does the time go?!

The stunningly restored and remixed Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, digital and cinema screenings are now here - with some more cinema screenings in selected places. However you experience it, it is NOT to be missed!

There's also been three Record Store Day releases released on April 12th, from David Gilmour, Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets, and Roger Waters which are also definitely worth tracking down, either in a participating store, or online, now that RSD has finished.

Last year, David Gilmour's superb new album, Luck and Strange, was released in a variety of formats, and a selection of coloured vinyls. A limited number of concert dates thrilled crowds in Brighton and London, England, Rome, Italy, and Los Angeles and New York, USA. Rome shows were filmed for release at some point...watch this space!

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 the 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 long 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!

New book: Pink Floyd in France: Les Dernières Briques (The Last Brick) Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Monday, 20 February 2023

New book: Pink Floyd in France: Les Dernières Briques - deluxe box setFrom the Château d'Hérouville to the Miraval studios, via Versailles or Royaumont, the history of Pink Floyd was partly written in France. Through the testimonies of authors, musicians, journalists, technicians and fans, a new book (written in French) coming in July looks back on the cultural heritage that the group and its members have shared with France for more than half a century.

After his book "Pink Floyd en France" (now sold out) - hailed by the French press and fans - Patrick Ducher invites you to discover the recording studios and mythical or unusual places and venues that have welcomed David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Roger Waters and Richard Wright in France. The book also presents the genesis of the opera Ça Ira, composed by Roger Waters to tell the story of the French Revolution of 1789. Finally, the floor is given to the authors who wrote about Pink Floyd, in books or fanzines... without forgetting the many enthusiasts who bring back to life the music of a legendary group on stage.

The 148-page hardback book, with a number of unpublished or rare photos of the band's French concerts, is available to pre-order ahead of its publication on July 24, 2023. It's available in a standard edition (€29 plus shipping) and in a limited box set edition shown here of 300 copies (€65 plus shipping). This contains the book itself, a reproduction of the 40-page French fanzine "Signs of Floyd" published in the fall of 1998, a 7" felt slip mat for a turntable, a colour bookplate, numbered certificate and an A3 format poster. For any pre-order, a "Full Of Secrets" poster is included.

For each book sold, €2 is donated to Amnesty International. The publishers will ship worldwide, and ordering/more information can be found at www.pinkfloydenfrance.com.
