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 "Inside Out" book - exclusive full cover image Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Friday, 23 July 2004

Further to our previous news items about Nick Mason's long-awaited, and much anticipated, book about Pink Floyd, called "Inside Out - A Personal History", to be published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson (a division of Orion Books) on September 9th, we have been contacted by the publishers with an exclusive look at the full final cover, with a high quality version of the cover being sent to us.

The only other people who have had this are Mojo Magazine, who, as you've seen elsewhere on our news pages, were only able to share a very small representation of the cover.

To the right is the full cover (with a small watermark we needed to add), and it shows much clearer now the new artwork completed for the book by Storm Thorgerson's talented studio. Very similar to their work on the advertising materials for the Interstellar exhibition held at the end of last year, in Paris, France, this high quality reproduction now gives us a chance to see one of the details hidden in the shot - to the right of the mirror, you can spot someone who appears to be Nick Mason in full race suit and helmet (extracted and shown to the left of this text) - but is it?!

It is also now much easier to see some of the other detail from the cover - it is intriguing to see the cross section of the moon, in the mirror, showing it to be made of Swiss cheese!

We are hoping for some information from Storm's office about the cover. As yet we don't know the exact location of the shoot, nor who's house it is lurking in the middle-left of the picture.

As soon as we have more information on this book, we will of course keep you posted. Our thanks to Elizabeth at Weidenfeld & Nicolson/Orion for her continued help and generosity...

Advance orders are currently being taken for the book, at a hefty discount of 30% off at time of writing, through our special links at Amazon. Orders placed through these links helps with the running of Brain Damage, and we appreciate it! The retailer ships worldwide so don't worry if you aren't in one of these countries. Get your order in now so that you receive the book when it is released - these are selling well, naturally, so you won't want to be disappointed!
