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.

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!
