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.

Written by Matt   
Sunday, 03 November 2002

The NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) is the UK's leading charity specialising in child protection and the prevention of cruelty to children. They have been directly involved in protecting children and campaigning on their behalf since 1884. This Wednesday, November 6th, , the NSPCC release a set of Christmas Cards, entitled "The Twelve Days Of Christmas", each featuring a verse from the famous carol. The photos have been taken by acclaimed royal and society photographer, Lord Lichfield. All the participants - stars of sport, fashion, music, TV and politics - gave their time for free, for the cards which are being sold through UK branches of Woolworth at £4.99 a set.

Apart from being a very good cause, the twelfth day is interesting to readers of this site. Being "Twelve drummers drumming", it features the following: Mick Avory (The Kinks), Roger Taylor (Duran Duran), Kenney Jones (The Who), Rob Green (Toploader), Dave Rowntree (Blur), Roger Taylor (Queen), Caroline Corr (The Corrs), Dylan Jones (Earth Sauce), Eds Chester (The Bluetones), Darren Mooney (Primal Scream), Jon Brookes (The Charlatans)... oh, and Nick Mason! All are dressed in black (with the exception of Caroline Corr). Go and buy a set today!
