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 to expose secret side of Pink Floyd? Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Thursday, 17 March 2005

When Nick Mason's excellent new book, "Inside Out: A Personal History Of Pink Floyd", came out, there were a few comments from various quarters about some of the stuff that didn't appear. For example, Roger Waters told Mojo Magazine that "it's a good, light read, but I'm surprised there's not more sex in it". And Jools Holland mentioned last year that Roger had asked him "where the sex was", in Nick's book. Nick's response to Jools was: "wait for Roger's book next year!"

However, if the story on the ContactMusic.com website is to be believed, Nick WILL be spilling the beans after all!

They report that Nick "plans to pen a sensational novel exposing the sordid scandals of his rock 'n' roll life - because they were too outrageous to be included in his memoirs. The identities of the fellow musicians involved will be changed when Mason begins writing the 'fictional' work, and the Dark Side Of The Moon star is excited about the intrigue the book will trigger.

"Mason's comprehensive autobiography INSIDE OUT: A PERSONAL HISTORY OF PINK FLOYD is his personal account of life in the legendary rock band, but Mason was too afraid of shaming his contemporaries to include certain anecdotes. He says, "I would like to write fiction, changing names, to include events too scandalous for this book. The trick is trying to decipher what's based on reality and what is an imaginative twist."

Obviously, if this story turns out to be true, we will have more information on this book as and when it becomes available!
