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! 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 on August 1st!

Two new German magazines featuring Pink Floyd - out now Print E-mail

German Rock Classics magazine - Pink Floyd special

Currently in stores across Germany are a couple of new magazines, which feature rather similar names. One of these - Classic Rock - is a monthly publication, and the other - Rock Classics - is a special edition.

The first of these (Classic Rock) is the German edition of the magazine which originated from the UK, and has a December 2016 cover date. The main feature is an exclusive look at The Rolling Stones' Blue & Lonesome album, and the cover therefore has the new blue tongue logo. However, one of the other lead stories on the front is Pink Floyd – Die besten Songs der Prog-Urgiganten (Pink Floyd – The best songs of the ancient prog giants). The article covers 14 pages, and is an album by album analysis of the band, with comments written by various contributors about many of the songs.

You can get this in stores now, or order online through shop.pmedia.de.

The other magazine - shown here to the left (click the thumbnail) is Rock Classics Magazine, special edition number 17, cover date December 2016/January/February 2017. Pink Floyd - Legenden Des Rock: Genie und Wahnsinn – Mythen und Fakten (Pink Floyd - Legends of Rock: Genius and Insanity – Myths and Facts) is a 116 page publication, an updated version (inspired by The Early Years box set) of a magazine which originally came out in 2011. It's an edition very similar to the special issues of "The Ultimate Collector's Edition" of Uncut. It looks at Pink Floyd from the beginning to the end – album by album and of course many side features. There's also a lot of rarely seen pictures, not the normal Getty Images material.

There's also a free CD: "Sons & Daughters of Pink Floyd", with a cover version of "Careful With That Axe Eugene" from “The Electric Family” on it (as a bonus track). You can get it in German stores now, or order online via slam-zine.de.

Our thanks to Michael Nickel for the information about these current German publications.
