 WOW - 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.

The new, third edition of Vernon Fitch's essential "Pink Floyd Encyclopedia" has now been announced. To be published in April 2005 by Collectors Guide Publishing Inc, the book is the guide to pretty much anything you need to know about the band.
This has been a labour of love for Vernon, and since the last edition came out, we are promised that
hundreds of new facts have been added into the book. The cover has some subtle differences, as seen to the right of this text, where we have included both covers so that you can do a comparison.
Vernon recently confirmed to us that he is still working on his and Richard Mahon's book about The Wall project, and this is due out next year.
Here's what the publishers have to say about this new edition of the encyclopedia:
The Pink Floyd Encyclopedia is an in-depth reference work covering all the people, places, and history of the musical group Pink Floyd. From the earliest days of the band to the present, this book explains band relationships, from The Abdabs to Zee. The Pink Floyd Encyclopedia is a must for every Pink Floyd enthusiast, from the casual fan to the obsessive collector.
The book includes:-
- Pink Floyd Reference Encyclopedia - Learn about all the people, places, and things that have been involved with Pink Floyd and it's band members, in a unique Pink Floyd encyclopedia
- Pink Floyd Concert Dates - Take a trip through Pink Floyd's performance history with concert listings of every performance over their 30+ year career
- Solo Concert Dates - Further your concert knowledge with complete listings of every solo performance by Syd Barrett, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright, both during and after their tenures with the band
- Equipment Listings - Find out what equipment has been used by Pink Floyd throughout their history. Check out what guitars, amplifiers, keyboards, drum kits, PA equipment, and special effects were used during their various tours and concert appearances
- Hawkwind CD - Hear a unique version of the classic Pink Floyd song, Interstellar Overdrive, as
interpreted by the venerable British Sci-Fi band, Hawkwind, on a special CD release, commissioned
exclusively for this book. Plus two more tracks.
Curiously enough, though, the cover shows that there are just two tracks - Interstellar Overdrive and A Saucerful Of Secrets. The previous edition included a CD with just Interstellar.
Orders are now being taken by Amazon UK, and Amazon France. Based on previous editions, it is one of the few essential Floyd reference books to have on your bookshelves.
