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! 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 on August 1st!

Roger Waters Ca Ira - special Polish edition Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Wednesday, 30 August 2006

To mark the then forthcoming world premiere performance of Roger Waters' Ca Ira, being held in Poznan, Poland, SonyBMG released a special limited Polish edition of the album on August 21st, complete with custom artwork on the front and back of the package.


Roger Waters Ca Ira - Polish edition frontAs you will see from the pictures to the right, the front has the design used in the concert's promotional materials, and promotes the concert that was held on Friday night (August 25th).

On the rear of the CD, there is a pre-printed autograph and dedication "To my Polish friends" from Roger himself.

With limited availability in stores, the edition seems to have been principally created for sale at the concert itself, although some stores in Poland have also been stocking this. No doubt with the help of the local radio station's name on the front cover, the price of the double album was fixed at around 10-15 euroes, so has apparently sold strongly.

As we noted a couple of days ago, the show itself was a huge success, and involved several hundred artists - a number of costumed actors, an orchestra, choir, stuntmen and opera singers - along with beautifully designed sets and scenery.

Roger Waters Ca Ira - Polish edition backThere are plans to stage at least 16 open-air productions of the opera in venues across Europe during 2007, according to the promoters. Naturally, as we get more detail on the additional shows, we will let you know straight away - so please don't email us to ask when and where they might be. Full information will be on the site!

Our thanks to Marek Grzesiak for his help with this information.
