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!

Two new UK magazines looking at Pink Floyd's Early Years Print E-mail

Uncut Magazine, featuring Pink Floyd - December 2016 Record Collector Magazine, featuring Pink Floyd - November 2016

Just published in the UK, with an eye catching, suitably coloured cover, is the new issue (dated December 2016, issue 235) of Uncut Magazine. Covering no less than eleven pages, it's a fascinating look at both the upcoming Pink Floyd: The Early Years 1965-1972 box set, and a wider exploration of the early days of the band, with insightful discussions of what happened and why, from the likes of Nick Mason, Joe Boyd, Andrew King, Peter Jenner, and Aubrey 'Po' Powell.

There are also sub-articles looking at Their Mortal Remains, the Pink Floyd exhibition opening next May at London's V&A, and Nick's thoughts on the highly unlikely possibility of a further reunion of the surviving members of the band.

To accompany the eleven page Floyd article are six detailed pages looking at the pair of Desert Trip weekend mega-shows, which were of course headlined on the Sunday (final) night of each weekend by Roger Waters.

Also currently available in UK stores, and in due course in selected retailers outside the UK, is the new issue (dated November 2016, issue 459) of Record Collector. Apart from the 1967-era Floyd picture on the cover, it has an eight-page article looking at the early years of the band.

The article is a mix of the author's own recollections of his early interest in the band, along with Nick Mason's own ruminations of the formative days of the band, covering various blues songs and other things, such as Beatles tracks - they'd tend to learn hits from the Top 20. Nick has some fascinating recollections (although some of which are understandably quite vague due to the passage of time) and it's an interesting look at the early days of the band.
