Pink Floyd 1968 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.

New French, Italian and German language Pink Floyd books

Written by Matt

Saturday, 25 June 2011

Two new books about Pink Floyd have recently appeared in Europe.

The first of these - Pink Floyd La Renaissance - is the same as the recent special magazine published by Vibrations (see our news last Saturday) but with a hardback cover. The book includes interviews with Roger Waters and David Gilmour, rare and unseen photos from French archives (in our experience, always a rich source of unusual shots seldom seen elsewhere), a look at Syd Barrett, a journey through the band's history, a feature on the great work of Hipgnosis over the years, and more.

The second book is written by Michele Mari, has been published in German, French, AND Italian, and is known respectively as "Mr Pink Floyd", "Pink Floyd en Rouge", and "Rosso Floyd". From what we hear, it is an entertaining "semi-fictional" novel about PF and Syd Barrett. It was highly praised in the Italian press, described as "the best novel about rock music ever written"...

At present, Pink Floyd La Renaissance can be ordered directly from the publishers, VibrationsMusic.com. No other retailer in France appears to have this book available but we will update this story if and when others start to sell this.

Mari's book can be ordered from the following, in the respective local languages: Amazon Germany, Amazon Italy, Amazon France, or FNAC (France).

Our thanks to Frederic Barres and Thomas Golser for their help and information regarding these publications.
