 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.

 Further to our recent stories regarding Gerald Scarfe's "The Making
of Pink Floyd: The Wall", including the set of three special video interviews with Gerald, for Brain Damage,
we now have a great competition for you to mark the UK publication this week of the book itself.
"The Making of Pink Floyd: The Wall" is the authorized, definitive book
about the project and includes new commentaries from the surviving
members of Pink Floyd: Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason,
together with the director of the film, Sir Alan Parker. Roger Waters
has written the foreword. The album imagery, stage performances and film
were created in close collaboration with Gerald Scarfe, and his massive
archive includes original storyboards, animation cells, concept
drawings, models and other three-dimensional material together with
photographs of the creation and staging of the live performances and the
filming of The Wall.
Three lucky Brain Damage readers will win their own copy of this book - one of which will be especially signed by Gerald Scarfe himself!
In the book, published by Weidenfeld and Nicholson/Orion Books in the UK, and Da Capo books in North America, Gerald also relates his own experiences of working with the
band from the early days of Wish You Were Here to the Pros and Cons Of
Hitchhiking with Roger Waters, after his break with the other band
members, as well as his work for the new live show of The Wall. Thirty
years after the first live performance was staged, Roger Waters is of
course taking the show back on the road for a multi-city tour of the US
from September 2010 to be followed in the spring of 2011 by a jaunt
around Europe, bringing the album and the band right back into the
headlines.
You can secure your copy of this wonderful book now, saving up to 37%
off the retail price, by ordering from Amazon UK, Amazon US/International, Amazon Canada, Amazon France, Amazon Germany, or Play.com.
