Pink Floyd The Black Strat book by Phil Taylor
Nick Mason Inside Out signed copy
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!

Nick Mason - health update and book tour news Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Thursday, 13 October 2005

We recently reported on Nick Mason's scuppered plans to continue his promotion of his wonderful book "Inside Out - A Personal History Of Pink Floyd" this month, due to appendicitis.

We've had an update on Nick's progress, and I'm sure you'll all be pleased to hear that he is recovering well from his operation. The plans he had for flying to Germany, to appear in Hamburg, Berlin and Köln (Cologne), have been cancelled for the time being, on doctor's orders, as has the trip to Bulgaria. These will be rescheduled in due course.

Nick is still planning to press ahead with the visit to Warsaw, Poland on 25th October, and then on to Krakow on the 26th. He will be appearing at the EMPiK Megastore in those two cities. Please check with EMPiK for exact timings.

The news of Nick's recovery coincides with the release this week of the paperback and audiobook of Inside Out.

The audiobook, narrated by Nick himself, brings us right up to date with Nick’s personal view of the band’s reunion with Roger Waters for Live8. The whole package comes as 3 CDs, with a 32-page booklet of photographs, in a special collector’s pack, priced at £15.99, and was due to be released this week.

The paperback of Inside Out is also updated with Nick's Live8 recollections, and is also published this week, price £9.99.

The addition of the Live8 reunion section will make both items very tempting propositions, even if the original book is already owned.

Online orders for the book are being taken now by Amazon UK, Amazon Canada, Amazon France, and Amazon Germany.

With regard to the audiobook, this is available from Amazon UK, Amazon Canada, Amazon Germany, and Amazon France. Any items ordered from Amazon after entering their site from one of our special links, helps towards running costs of our site, and we appreciate it!
