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!

Pink Floyd narrowly missed out on the top spot in UK radio station Capital Gold's All-Time Top 500 Albums Chart as verified by the UK's official chart company.

Queen topped the chart with their 1981 album, 'Greatest Hits' with Pink Floyd's 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' coming in fifth place.

The chart, based on an album's chart positions and the numbers of week spent in the UK Top 75 album chart, was played out in full on the UK radio station on Easter Bank Holiday Monday (April 17th).

Along with 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' Pink Floyd scored another 4 entries in the chart.

To see which of Pink Floyd's albums made it into the Top 500, where they got to in the chart, and to see how everyone else did, go to www.capitalgold.com/top500albums. As a taster, though, the top ten are shown below...

Our thanks to Mario from Capital Gold for the info!

    1. Queen - ‘Greatest Hits’
    2. Meat Loaf - ‘Bat Out Of Hell’
    3. Simon And Garfunkel - ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’
    4. Fleetwood Mac - ‘Rumours’
    5. Pink Floyd - ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’
    6. Mike Oldfield - ‘Tubular Bells’
    7. Abba - ‘Gold - Greatest Hits’
    8. Dire Straits - ‘Brothers In Arms’
    9. Simon And Garfunkel - ‘Simon And Garfunkel's Greatest Hits’
    10. Bob Marley And The Wailers - ‘Legend - The Best Of Bob Marley And The Wailers’

The chart has been compiled using a pro-rata points formula based on a No. 1 album receiving 100 points for each week at the top. Points for all other positions vary based on the size of the chart for a particular week. Bonus points are also given for each week an album is at number one.
