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!

Pink Floyd's The Endless River - UK's number one album Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Sunday, 16 November 2014

Pink Floyd - The Endless RiverThis evening, Pink Floyd's new album, The Endless River, went straight in to the UK's official album charts at the coveted number one spot, demoting Ed Sheeran's album X, and keeping the new Calvin Harris album Motion at bay. Taylor Swift's album 1989 also felt the Floyd effect. The new Queen and Foo Fighters albums couldn't compete either. It is Pink Floyd's sixth UK number one, and the last time the group topped the chart was back in 1995 with live double album, PULSE.

A spokesperson for the band told OfficialCharts.com: "Pink Floyd is both thrilled and surprised at the level of international interest in this their final album. They want to thank the fans for their support and hope that in some small way, The Endless River has reminded them of the old fashioned joy of listening to an album in its entirety."

Album charts in other countries are now also starting to show The Endless River, and it has reached number one in Belgium, Croatia, Germany, Ireland, Israel, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Norway. Italy and Australia are clearly tougher nuts to crack, with the album entering their charts at number two and three respectively.

On the subject of The Endless River, our exclusive interview with Egyptian cover artist Ahmed Emad Eldin will be here very shortly, giving you some background to Ahmed, his life and work, and what TER's cover image was originally called...

UPDATE: Pink Floyd's official Facebook page has been updated to reveal that the album is now number one in twenty countries - UK, Germany, France, Canada, The Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Ireland, New Zealand, Poland, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Italy, Croatia and Slovenia. Other charts include: USA � 3, Australia � 3, Finland � 4, Spain � 6, with many more to come. They also note that TER is the best-selling album in Romania, although there are no official charts there.
