 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.

Syd Barrett revealed in new issue of Mojo Magazine |

Thursday, 21 April 2016 |
The new issue of the UK's Mojo Magazine (issue number 271, cover date June 2016) promises a feast for Syd Barrett/Pink Floyd fans.
Speaking exclusively in their new issue, on sale in the UK from Tuesday April 26, 2016, Rosemary Breen – née Barrett – gives a rare and candid interview about her brother. Discussing the spectrum-spanning early Pink Floyd light show, she confirms the theory that her brother experienced the condition of synesthesia, which caused him to ‘see’ sounds and ‘hear’ colours. This ability, it seems, helped provide the fledgling psychedelic movement with its palette.
“When he talked about how he felt, he would call it a colour. Even as children, so I thought it was perfectly normal,” she tells Mojo’s Mark Blake, also author of the excellent Pigs Might Fly: The Inside Story of Pink Floyd. “It didn’t have a label then. That psychedelic thing with the lights and the thump of the music was, I think, how he felt. Sound was colour, and colour was sound.”
Breen also discusses her personal impressions of Pink Floyd and its members, the impact of her brother’s experimentation with LSD and the secluded life that followed his career in music. It is the central interview of the Barrett special in their new issue that has them shining a multi-coloured light on his whole career: his beginnings, his work with Pink Floyd, his key songs and much more.
This month, the magazine comes in a card wallet containing a couple of Pink Floyd art prints, a different cover for the magazine itself, and a 14-track CD. Inside the magazine, Breen also previews the forthcoming “Hometown Happening” she is organising in honour of Syd Barrett – set to take place at the Cambridge Corn Exchange on October 27.
Available in all good UK stores from this coming Tuesday, it can also be ordered online - worldwide - via GreatMagazines, the magazine's official online store.
