Pink Floyd The Black Strat book by Phil Taylor

Brain Damage and A Fleeting Glimpse

Pink Floyd 1987WELCOME 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?!

We now know that Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, digital and cinema screenings are on their way, with the releases on May 2nd, and the cinema screenings shortly before. 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's book about Pink Floyd - more details Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Tuesday, 06 April 2004

Further to our previous news stories about Nick Mason's own history of Pink Floyd, some of which came from Nick himself, we now have the latest on this eagerly awaited book for you.

"Inside Out: A Personal History Of Pink Floyd" by Nick Mason will be published by Orion Book on September 9th 2004. The hardback book (with a UK recommended retail price of £30.00), a hefty 360 pages long, will be chock-full of rare pictures to accompany Nick's own view of the history of the band.

This was the same publishers who were responsible for last year's Rolling Stones book, which was a treat for the eyes. It is therefore encouraging that Nick and the band's management have entrusted the book with them!

Those who recall the previous attempt by Mason to publish a history of the band, will note that the title reflects a subtle change of focus. The original version was to be called "The Official History Of Pink Floyd", whereas "Inside Out" clearly states that this is a personal view of events. It was said that David Gilmour was the principle objector to a book he hadn't collaborated with, being called an official book about the band. Every copy of the original version was pulped before reaching the public.

We are in contact with the publishers and EMKA, the band's management, about this title and hope to bring you more information about it soon. It should be THE book about Pink Floyd to own! In the meantime, advance orders are already been taken (at a reduced price) through our links at Amazon UK, France, and Germany.
