Pink Floyd The Black Strat book by Phil Taylor

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!

Syd Barrett retrospective in Record Collector magazine Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Wednesday, 02 August 2006

With an eye-catching, fluorescent pink cover, the new issue of the UK's respected "Record Collector" magazine (dated September 2006) includes a fascinating retrospective of Syd Barrett's career.

Record Collector, September 2006
Record Collector,
Sept 2006
The eleven page feature gives a reasonably detailed overview of Syd, and investigates his recorded legacy. In a lavishly illustrated article, renouned Floyd singles collector (and friend of BD) Hervé Denoyelle shares some choice examples from his collection.

The text, written by Mark Paytress with the assistance of Ron Geesin's son Joe, has a strong focus on the music, with a look at the background to many of Syd's key pieces, and the recordings that brought them to us.

Breakout boxes take a look at the shortlived Stars group; journalist Chris Welch recalls a meeting with Barrett in 1967 for the Melody Maker; and producer Joe Boyd talks about the year he spent with Barrett and the rest of the band.

For those unfamiliar with this publication, it is aimed squarely at the collectors amongst us. This article is no exception, with a vast array of incredibly rare Floyd singles, many with promotional sleeves, well photographed and presented. With guide prices in the hundreds of pounds, they are not for the faint hearted or casual collectors... but fascinating to browse through.

The magazine is published today (August 3rd) and is also available in a number of countries as an import. It can also be bought direct from www.RecordCollectorMag.com, which has a large number of back issues for sale, including other issues which feature Pink Floyd heavily (for example, March 2006).
