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 interviewed in Classic Rock Prog magazine Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Wednesday, 05 January 2011

Classic Rock Presents Prog - issue 13The new issue of Classic Rock Presents Prog (issue 13) recently published in the UK, should be of interest to Pink Floyd fans. Whilst the main feature is heavy coverage of Genesis, there are other artists covered in some detail within its pages, in particular Nick Mason, who is interviewed at length in a five-page, nicely illustrated piece.

In the interview, Nick shares his views on Roger's tour of The Wall, saying he won't be doing a guest spot, and praises Graham Broad ("...a terrific player. He'll take what I did and add to it." He talks about some of his influences, peers at the time Pink Floyd turned professional, but the majority of the interview has a focus towards his cars, inspired in no small part by the recent publication of Passion For Speed. The interview even answers the question on our lips, and the lips of many Top Gear viewers - why has Nick never been the "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car", doing a timed lap of the show's circuit in a vehicle more normally seen in a supermarket car park rather than a track! As expected, the subject of another much wished-for reunion is put to Nick, especially in light of the better relations between David and Roger. "We're not all hugging and going out on world tour together, but we can do the sensible things... I'd hope we could do something again in the future. I think there could be an appetite for it..." 

The magazine is not cheap at £7.99 but does include a ten-track CD of various prog artists. It's now on sale in the UK, and is available in selected locations worldwide as an import, or via MyFavouriteMagazines.co.uk for international mail order of this issue.
