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 PP Arnold album and tour coming up Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Tuesday, 03 April 2007

pp arnoldThe legend that is PP Arnold is set to release a new, ten-track album in the late summer of 2007, to be accompanied by a tour. PP is much loved amongst Pink Floyd fans for her stunning vocal performances, and is currently on the road with Roger Waters on his Dark Side Of The Moon tour.

The album, 'Five In The Afternoon', is an album of duets, undertaken with Dr Robert, The Blow Monkeys main man, and takes its name from the poem "Lament For Ignacio Sanchez Mejias", by Spanish poet laureate Federico Garcia Lorca.

This is the first time the two artists have worked together, although neither is new to collaboration: PP Arnold having famously appeared with Ike and Tina Turner, The Small Faces, Nick Drake, Primal Scream and the aforementioned Roger Waters to name but a few; and Robert having previously sung with Curtis Mayfield, Paul Weller, Cheb Khaled and Kym Maselle.

"I met Pat at a party up here in the mountains," says Robert. "We jammed a bit and it just clicked and I knew we had to work together. The songs came really quickly - Pat has a timeless voice. Total Soul. And I had to give her "real songs" to sing. She's 'A' list, no bullshit, and it has been a real honour to work with her."

The album has an earthy quality, and was recorded virtually live with very few overdubs. "With [musicians on the album] this good and Pat singing, it would have been a crime to do it any other way. Sometimes the feeling was so good that you forgot you were recording and just drifted away with the music."

To whet the appetite, you can hear one of the tracks from the album (Satellite) here...
