Pink Floyd The Black Strat book by Phil Taylor
Nick Mason Inside Out signed copy
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: The Dark Side Of The Moon - Official 50th Anniversary BookBack in October, we told you about the official hardback book being published in March 2023 as part of the 50th anniversary of the release of The Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd.

We now have a few more details of the book, which is being sold separately as well as being included in the 50th anniversary The Dark Side Of The Moon Deluxe Box Set. It is published on the same day as the box set is released - March 24th.

Curated by Jill Furmanovsky, with art direction by Aubrey 'Po' Powell, this LP-sized book - with 143 illustrations - showcases rare and previously unseen photographs, and was created with the involvement of the band members.

The book includes:

  • Rare and previously unseen backstage and onstage photography of the band during The Dark Side Of The Moon tours of 1972–1975 in the UK, Japan, North America and Europe
  • 129 candid photographs by Jill Furmanovsky, Storm Thorgerson, Aubrey Powell and Peter Christopherson document the soundchecks, the shows and the after shows
  • A review of the October 1972 Wembley gig, originally published in Melody Maker, provides insight into one of the Floyd's celebrated performances
  • A complete listing of the tour dates
  • A special section that reveals the visual conception of the iconic album artwork, with photos of the original album roughs and final artwork by Hipgnosis

ORDERING INFO:
Sounds like an essential book - and orders are now possible through a number of retailers. Remember, if you have ordered the Deluxe Box Set, the book is included in there, so you don't need to order the book separately. Ordering any item after entering Amazon through our links helps with BD's ongoing running costs, and we really appreciate it: Amazon UK, Amazon.com, Amazon Canada, Amazon France, Amazon Germany, Amazon Spain and Amazon Italy.
