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 version of special Syd Barrett book coming soon Print E-mail
Written by Matt

syd by mick rockMany of you will be aware of photographer Mick Rock's stunning "Psychedelic Renegades" book, published as a signed, limited edition by the specialist company Genesis Publications (reviewed in full here). The book reveals Rock's archives of Syd Barrett shots, and indeed his old friend even signed a frontispiece on the first 320, deluxed editions - these are hugely sought after these days as they are one of the few authentic items signed by Barrett himself.

The good news is that a new, non-deluxe version will be published worldwide soon, and we have more details of this for you...

mick rock book 2007 "Syd Barrett: Pink Floyd's Crazy Diamond" will feature a few less pictures, and a little less text, but will include a new introduction from Mick.

 With around 150 colour and black & white pictures across its 144 pages, it is a large format, hard-backed book, printed on good paper stock, as befitting the subject matter.

As our review of the Genesis edition stated, this is an enthralling, and beautiful, look at Syd - said to be Mick's entire archive - and this 'trade' edition should be an essential purchase for all those who couldn't get hold of the former.

The book will be published first in Germany, and can be ordered through this special link to Amazon Germany. They will ship the book, well packaged, worldwide.

There will also be US and UK editions following this coming autumn/fall, but Mick Rock's studios weren't able to confirm exact dates for these. Our thanks to Pati there, and to Hans Gerlitz, for the info.
