 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 tribute The City Wakes - updates |

 We've got three updates for you today relating to the eagerly anticipated The City Wakes tribute to Syd Barrett, taking place later this month in his home town of Cambridge: a new event poster that you can purchase (autographed if you so desire), a new album of songs by Syd Barrett being created for the event, and also details of how YOU can help with a proposed documentary on The City Wakes.
First, the new "Doors" event poster [right], designed by Storm Thorgerson, that was recently revealed, is now available to order in signed and unsigned editions through this link. Both versions are sure to be collectors items before long, and both raise money for the charity.
Second, as part of The City Wakes, the organisers are creating a new album of songs by Syd Barrett, and Storm has very kindly offered to design the album cover. Storm will design the album cover at cost price. This is about £3,000 and will pay for the photographer, travel and other incidentals. The album cover will also be available as an A2 sized print.
The first 20 people to order the print in advance, without seeing it, will only pay half price (estimated at £150). If they get enough advance orders, then they will be able to guarantee Storm's costs and give him the green light to go ahead. And if you change your mind about buying the print, after you've seen the design, then they won't ask you to pay anything. If you do decide to purchase the print, after you've actually seen it, then you will get a signed copy at half price as well as a free album.
It's risk free to you, but helps them to work out what the demand will be like and, hopefully, ensures that Escape Artists, the charity behind The City Wakes, doesn't lose any money.
To register your interest in purchasing Storm Thorgerson's new design, please visit this page on The City Wakes website.
Finally, The City Wakes Documentary. Everything (cameras, operators, etc.) is in place to make a complete documentary record of all The City Wakes events, but as a charitable event, they could use a few thousand pounds to help pay for post-production. If you'd like to buy a stake in the project, please
