 WOW - 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.

We recently reported on how the
release of Pink Floyd's PULSE on DVD, along with tours from David
Gilmour (with Richard Wright), and Roger Waters (at some shows, with
Nick Mason) has resulted in dramatic sales figures worldwide. We know
many of you are fascinated with this sort of detail, and we have some
more sales figures from other countries showing the Floyd's domination
of record stores!

| Pink Floyd's PULSE DVD |
We have had it confirmed from the
Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) charts company in
Sydney that the PULSE DVD had the biggest first week of sales for a
music DVD in the history of the Australian music DVD charts, which has
been running since 2001.
The previous best first week was
'Hell Freezes Over' which actually debuted at #2 there, and has the
most weeks at #1 for a music DVD there, being at #1 for a total of 24
unconsecutive weeks at various times on and off over the last 3 or 4
years. PULSE is chasing this DVD for most overall sales in Australian
music DVD history. 'Up In Smoke' debuted at #17 here, and had 20
straight weeks at #1, which is the record PULSE is chasing here for
consecutive weeks at #1.
In it's first week in Australia, it went triple platinum (45,000 units plus).
Moving now to Finland, sales are
just as strong there, with the DVD being at the number one spot with no
sign of budging, for three weeks.
Going back south again, Italy has
no less than THIRTEEN of the Floyd's albums in the charts, ranging from
Dark Side Of The Moon at number 8, through to Relics at number 76. In
the DVD charts, PULSE is dominating, of course, but is followed by The
Wall at number three, and Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii in fourth place at
the top of the sales figures. Astonishing figures!
Our thanks to Sami Virtanen and Marco Budinis for their help in bringing you this information.
By the sound of it, most of you
probably have bought this already. However, if you haven't yet bought
your copy of PULSE, you can get it, with a discount, through the
following special links: Amazon UK, Amazon US/International, Canada, France, or Germany.
Any item bought through these links at Amazon (not just Floyd items)
helps with the running costs of the site, and we really appreciate it.
