Pink Floyd The Black Strat book by Phil Taylor
Nick Mason Inside Out signed copy
Brain Damage and A Fleeting Glimpse

Pink Floyd 1987WELCOME 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?!

We now know that Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, digital and cinema screenings are on their way, with the releases on May 2nd, and the cinema screenings shortly before. 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 Wall book - don't miss out! Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Monday, 16 October 2006

Since our news story and review, posted on August 17th, word has been spreading about the recently published book by respected historians Vernon Fitch and Richard Mahon. 'Comfortably Numb - A History of “The Wall”, 1978-1981', published on July 25th, is a beautifully illustrated yet richly detailed hardback tome that concerns itself solely with that album.


Comfortably Numb coverResearch for the book was done over the last ten years, and part of this involved approaching all those involved in the album and live show - from the band themselves, to designers, to sound engineers. Apart from rich textual detail, many of these people have also contributed their own, previously unseen pictures, and these are included within the pages. In total there are over 400 pictures in the book.

"Comfortably Numb" contains a staggering level of detail - with no stone (or should I say, brick?) unturned; the book has every detail you could potentially wish for, and plenty more besides.

As we know so many of you would greatly enjoy this book, we wouldn't want you to miss out. So, we contacted Vernon to find out how sales were going. Helped in part by our review, sales are strong with this book, and as word gets around from those who have received the book, available copies are diminishing. Vernon also tells us that reviews of the book will also be appearing in a number of key national and international publications.

As there are just 5000 copies of the book, each hand numbered and signed by the authors, and with a donation from the sale of each going to Amnesty International, the authors advise any BD readers who want to secure their copy to act quicky. This is particularly important if you want to make sure of receiving your copy in time to give it as a Christmas gift, and you are outside the US. And, just to remind you, it is not available in bookshops or elsewhere online.

More information on the book, with example pages, can be found at www.PFApublishing.com where you can also place your orders for this incredible book.
