Pink Floyd 1968WOW - 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.

Rare Pink Floyd items auctioned this evening Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Wednesday, 27 July 2005

Our friends over at top London auction house Cooper Owen are running a Music Legends auction this evening (July 28th) which starts at 19:30hrs. The auction focuses on items from musicians such as John Lennon (with his yellow-tinted glasses being one of the headlining items), and Jimi Hendrix.

Amongst the Hendrix items are three items from his 1967 Winter Tour, all of which with a major Pink Floyd element to them. Many of you will be aware that Jimi's tour was a package bill, with Syd Barrett's Floyd given around 20 minutes to show what they were made of, in provincial theatres across Britain (and many places even had an early matinée show, too).

Memorabilia from these shows is scarce and always attracts high prices. Cooper Owen have three lots consisting of highly desirable items from this tour:

  • Lot 122 - Flyer for the Jimi Hendrix Experience / Pink Floyd / The Move at Coventry Theatre, Sunday 19th November 1967. The line up also included The Nice, The Outer Limits, The Eire Apparent and The Amen Corner who performed two shows; includes original postal booking slip at base. Measures approx. 7 x 10 inch. (18 x 25 cm). Estimate £300-400
  • Lot 123 -  Programme for the Jimi Hendrix Experience / Pink Floyd / The Move at Coventry Theatre, Sunday 19th November 1967. The line up also included The Nice, The Outer Limits, The Eire Apparent and The Amen Corner and performed two shows. Measures approx. 10 x 8 inch. (25 x 20 cm) Estimate £300-400
  • Lot 155 - Extremely rare hand-painted poster for The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Pink Floyd at Green's Playhouse, Glasgow 5th December 1968. The Jimi Hendrix Experience appeared on the same bill with The Move, Pink Floyd, The Nice and Amen Corner. This was the final night of the second Experience U.K. Tour. Red, black and blue print on white ground. Condition: Good, creased, with age spots and some tears to edges. Measures approx. 27 x 19.5 inch. (69 x 50 cm). Estimate £3,000-4,000

More details of the auction can be found at www.CooperOwen.com where you can also arrange for bids to be made on the items on your behalf, if you are unable to attend.
