 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.

 Many congratulations to the triumvirate of Pink Floyd related releases for the 2024 Record Store Day. The annual event celebrates the work of independent record stores, and sees a few hundred different exclusive releases and editions. Before the day, pre-orders are not permitted, and on the day (this year, on April 12th) potential purchasers need to queue at their nearest participating store. Once at the counter, they can buy as many different titles as they wish, but they can only have ONE copy of each different title.
As with conventional releases, they are eligible for chart placings, and the releases from Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets (with Echoes), David Gilmour with Romany Gilmour (with Between Two Points), and Roger Waters (with the live Redux of The Dark Side Of The Moon) all feature very healthily in the UK charts!
- Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets: Echoes
Official UK Singles Sales Chart (physical AND digital): in at number 8, one week on the chart
Official UK Physical Singles Chart: in at number 6, currently at number 17 (still on chart)
Official UK Vinyl Singles Chart: in at number 6, currently at number 15 (still on chart)
- David Gilmour with Romany Gilmour: Between Two Points
Official UK Singles Sales Chart (physical AND digital): in at number 10, one week on the chart
Official UK Physical Singles Chart: in at number 8, currently still at number 8 (still on chart)
Official UK Vinyl Singles Chart: in at number 8, currently at number 7 (still on chart)
- Roger Waters: The Dark Side Of The Moon Redux Live
Official UK Album Sales Chart (physical AND digital): in at number 45, one week on the chart
Official UK Physical Albums Chart: in at number 44, one week on the chart
Official UK Vinyl Albums Chart: in at number 36, one week on the chart
Official UK Record Store Chart: in at number 37, one week on the chart
Official UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart: in at number 4, one week on the chart
Official UK Independent Albums Chart: in at number 12, one week on the chart
Of the three releases, the Saucers release was the hardest for people to get their hands on, and with the number of major artists releasing special titles on Record Store Day, there's a lot of competition for chart places, so to go in at number 6 in the physical and vinyl singles charts is a great achievement. David and Romany's release is also selling strongly still, as remaining copies are available online now from the stores. As for Roger's, slightly lower placing than we'd expect, although all of those who bought the recent deluxe box set will have had the live version already, which might have informed purchasing choices on the day. Congratulations again to all three for these releases!
