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.

New Dark Side Of The Moon book - update Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Sunday, 27 June 2004

Back in March, we told you of a new book about Pink Floyd's classic album, "Dark Side Of The Moon", being published by Ashgate Publishing.

Amazon are now stating that the book, available as a hardback and softback (it is to be a simultaneous dual edition) will be published at the end of January 2005. Now, when we were in contact with Ashgate in March they believed that it would be around a year before the book appeared. We contacted Heidi at Ashgate today, who told us that the publication date is likely to be April, and not January.

"Speak To Me: The Legacy of Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon" will contain fourteen essays, three interviews and a 50-page annotated bibliography. Literary and music scholars from across the globe will contribute the essays, which all focus on the music, and Floydian Slip's Craig Bailey provides the preface to the book.

The three interviews are with Clare Torry, who sings on the album, Mike Gordon of Phish, who have performed the album in concert, and Michael Goldwasser of Easy Star Records, who produced the excellent "Dub Side Of The Moon" reggae tribute to Dark Side - reviewed elsewhere on this website.

You can preorder the book for delivery upon release - use these special links. For the hardback, click for UK/Elsewhere, France or Germany, and if you want to order the paperback instead, click for UK/Elsewhere, France or Germany. As yet, ordering details for the US/Canada/etc is not available.

We hope to have more detail on this book soon from the publishers. Our thanks to Heidi at Ashgate Publishing for her help and prompt attention!
