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's Apocalypse Jukebox detailed Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Sunday, 12 February 2006

We know a number of you are avid collectors of Pink Floyd "paper goods", with magazines high on your agenda. The new issue (March 2006) of the UK's Q Magazine will be one for you to track down, as it has a few bits of interest in the issue.

Q Magazine
Q Magazine, March 2006
The prime item is Nick Mason, interviewed for their "Apocalypse Jukebox" feature. This lists the final ten songs that the artist would want to hear before the big bang happens.

Nick's selections here, all with his reasoning behind his choices, are typically interesting, and range from Cream, Robert Wyatt and Jimi Hendrix, through to jazz stars Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk and Art Blakey, and even Stravinsky's "Rite Of Spring".

His final selection is none other than... the sound of the BRM V16 engine!

Elsewhere in the issue, David Gilmour's new album "On An Island" is mentioned, alongside two small (and new) shots of David.

Also, DSOTM is number one within the category "Heart Of Darkness" in a Q promotional piece for the Audi RS4 car.

And finally, to tie in with the issue's look at the punk explosion of 1976, there is an "A - Z of 1976" which includes DSOTM (again), alongside Animals, in the "P is for Prog" section.

The magazine is on UK store shelves now, and is available in many countries as an import. Our thanks to Kevan Porter for his help bringing this story to you.
