 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.

 Back in July, we told you about the new Bryan Ferry studio album, "Olympia", which is to be released on October 25th, and includes musical contributions from the likes of Nile Rodgers, Groove Armada, Scissor Sisters, Flea, Jonny Greenwood, and David Gilmour. It also sees Bryan reunited on record with members of Roxy Music, including Brian Eno, Phil Manzanera, and Andy Mackay, for the first time since "For Your Pleasure" in 1973.
Named after the area of London where his studio is situated, "Olympia" comes in four different editions, as detailed below (along with ordering details). To get a great taste of the album, you can hear "Song To The Siren" online now, through this site, and after you've given it a listen (and it's a great track - Gilmour's guitar to the fore, alongside that classic Roxy sound), check out this "Making Of Olympia" video, which has just been released, and shows the musicians (including David) in the studio recording "Siren":
The full track-listing for the album is:
1. You Can Dance
2. Alphaville
3. Heartache By Numbers
4. Me Oh My
5. Shameless
6. Song To The Siren
7. No Face, No Name, No Number
8. BF Bass (Ode To Olympia)
9. Reason Or Rhyme
10. Tender Is The Night
For those of you wanting to snap this up, it comes in four different versions:
- standard CD edition
- vinyl edition
- CD/DVD version, with three bonus tracks: Whatever Gets You Through The Night / One Night / Move Closer
- 'deluxe' CD/DVD version, in a 40 page deluxe hardback book format with
a 13 track CD, a remix CD and a DVD including the video for 'You Can
Dance', behind the scenes of the album photoshoot, and track by track
interviews with Bryan Ferry and featured album guests (although we don't
know if this includes David Gilmour amongst the interviewees).
You can order the album through the following special links:
As these and other retailers get the various editions, we will add to this table. The prices and availability are correct as at October 17th. Our thanks to Werner Haider of the Pulse&Spirit site for the info on the audio stream...
