 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.

Robert Wyatt's 1974 concert with Nick Mason - CD release |

The heavily bootlegged recording of a special 1974 concert is finally getting an official release next week (10th October).
On Sunday September 8th 1974, just a year or so after the accident that has left him in a wheelchair ever since, Robert Wyatt, aided and abetted by a distinguished array of friends, including Mike Oldfield, Ivor Cutler, and Pink Floyd's Nick Mason, played an historic concert at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London.
Performing the entire, classic ‘Rock Bottom’ album, material from his days with Soft Machine and Matching Mole, plus an extraordinary, show-stopping version of ‘I’m A Believer’, this concert very quickly assumed legendary status. This is the first time in 31 years that the recording of the show will be made available officially - so it is bound to be popular.
The fact that Robert has chosen to no longer play live makes this release even more poignant and valuable as a reminder of how charismatic and catalytic he was onstage. Everyone who has bought and cherished ‘Rock Bottom’, or any of Robert’s other records for that matter, will need this album to complete their picture of a man who has, over the succeeding years, established himself as one of our most unique, enduring and well-loved artists.
The CD, released by Hannibal, features the highlights of the show:
1. Introduction by John Peel
2. Dedicated To You But You Weren't Listening
3. Memories
4. Sea Song
5. Last Straw
6. Little Red Riding Hood Hit The Road
7. Alife
8. Alifib
9. Mind Of A Child
10. Instant Pussy
11. Signed Curtain
12. Calyx
13. Little Red Robin Hood Hit The Road
14. I'm A Believer
The musicians were: Robert Wyatt - vocals, Dave Stewart - keyboards, Laurie Allan - drums, Hugh Hopper - bass guitar, Fred Frith - violin, guitar, viola, Mongezi Feza - trumpet, Gary Windo - reeds, Mike Oldfield - guitar, Julie Tippetts - keyboard, vocals, Nick Mason - drums, Ivor Cutler - vocals.
The CD will be in most good record stores from Monday, or alternatively, can be ordered online through our special Amazon links.
