Pink Floyd The Black Strat book by Phil Taylor

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 Mojo Magazine explores The Dark Side Of The Moon Print E-mail

Mojo Magazine February 2023, Pink Floyd The Dark Side Of The Moon 50th Anniversary SpecialThe new issue of the UK's Mojo Magazine (cover date February 2023, issue number 351) features an absorbing, 13-page "50th Anniversary Special" focused on Pink Floyd's 1973 masterpiece, The Dark Side Of The Moon.

The magazine invites you to 'join writers and musicians on a voyage inside its songs and stories: "It's stood the test of time because of the spirit and emotion which went into it". They hint at 'New revelations! Myths explained! Kraftwerk implications!'

Articles within include PP Arnold talking about Clare Torry's vocal performance on Great Gig In The Sky, Alan Parsons looking at his work on the album, former Kraftwerk member Kart Bartos giving a particularly interesting analysis of On The Run (with reference to their own Autobahn), and much more. There's also an exclusive extract, looking at the story of the iconic sleeve design and the band during that era, from Mark Blake's superb new book, Us And Them: The Authorised Story of Hipgnosis which is published at the start of February. It should give you a taste of Blake's book which we're reading an early version of - it really will be an essential for your bookshelves!

If you're in the UK, a subscriber or ordering direct from them, there's a suitably designed and wide-ranging Pink Floyd companion CD, featuring artists as diverse as Ron Geesin, Miles Davis, Love, The Butterfield Blues Band, Chuck Berry, Doris Troy (one of the vocalists on the album) and much more.

Elsewhere in the magazine are features on Iggy Pop, Blur, some unseen pictures of Rolling Stones, a look at the 50 best buried treasures of 1972, and 2023 comprehensively previewed, amongst many other things.

Always a great read, the magazine is due to arrive in UK stores around now, and will be available in selected locations worldwide as an import, in due course. Alternatively, you can order (worldwide) online through the Great Magazines website which is owned and run by the publishers of Mojo (and will secure you the cover-mounted CD as well!).
