 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.

Prog Magazine renames Grand Design Award in Storm Thorgerson's honour |

 Prog Magazine, organisers of the Orange Amplification presents Progressive Music Awards, have today announced that they will be renaming the Grand Design Award to the Storm Thorgerson Grand Design Award.
From Pink Floyd's 1968 A Saucerful Of Secrets to Biffy Clyro's 2013 Opposites album, Storm Thorgerson's incredible 45 year career saw him work with artists that included Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Muse, Black Sabbath, 10cc, Dream Theater plus many more.
Storm Thorgerson designs speak for themselves. He created some of the most iconic and striking images in rock including Pink Floyd's The Dark Side Of The Moon and Wish You Were Here. His designs are seen by many as integral to the albums as the music itself. His designs have dominated Best Album Cover polls around the world for many years and will do for years to come.
Storm sadly passed away in April this year, but his legacy will forever live on in his work. Jerry Ewing, Editor of Prog Magazine said: "Storm's contribution to prog rock and beyond is incredible. When we heard of his passing, we felt that it was only right to pay tribute to the man who has given so much to music through his art. This re-titling of the Grand Design award is especially fitting, given that Storm won this award at last year's ceremony for his continued work with Pink Floyd. We are honoured to name this award after him."
Peter Curzon, co-founder of StormStudios and close friend of Storm says: "Winning the award last year for the Pink Floyd 'Immersion' box sets gave Storm great pleasure, but to have the whole award dedicated to him is something that would have at first amused him, but would have made him feel very honoured. It's great that Prog has recognised the impact Storm's work has had on the world of music and album cover design - he loved his work and was always thinking of the next idea - his legacy will now live on not only through his incredible body of work but also through this fantastic event."
This is the second year of the Progressive Music Awards, and with the location so popular with attendees last year, once again it will take place in the stunning and unique surroundings of Kew Gardens on Tuesday, September 3rd, and will be hosted by Gavin Esler.
Voting is open now and a full list of all the categories and nominees can be found at www.progrockmag.com/awards where readers can have their say by voting in the various categories. Readers who register to vote will have the chance to win a bumper prize of prog goodies compiled from nominated acts.
