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's Wish You Were Here SACD revealed Print E-mail

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here SACDFor those who have been, for a few years now, eagerly awaiting the SACD of Wish You Were Here, you'll be counting the days until the release arrives. The latest update is that the label releasing it have revealed the packaging, and a fine job looks to have been done by StormStudios, with the disc contained in a book-style package, with a number of images - click the thumbnail to the left.

The 5.1 SACD will be released by Acoustic Sounds, on the Analogue Productions label. Initial reports are that it sounds wonderful, and our review will be here as soon as possible. 

Due to arrive on November 7th 2011, the same date as the Experience and Immersion editions of WYWH, the SACD can now be ordered direct from Acoustic Sounds. However, due to their shipping policy, international orders are better placed with MUSIC DIRECT or ELUSIVE DISC, both of which have cheaper shipping internationally.

For those in Europe, the best option is JPC.de, a German based retailer, which will mean you'll not face things like import taxes and will have cheaper shipping.

For those interested, here's the confirmed detail on personnel:

5.1 Surround Mix by James Guthrie
Assistant Engineer Joel Plante
5.1 and Stereo Mastering by James Guthrie and Joel Plante
Mixed and Mastered at das boot recording
DSD Authoring for SACD by Gus Skinas.
