Pink Floyd 1968WOW - 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.

Upcoming auction of Syd Barrett's final belongings Print E-mail

The auctioneers say that the sale will consist of items left by Syd in his Cambridge house. Syd spent his last years living a quiet, yet content, life in the town. Both of his bikes, which he had used every day for visits to the local shops and pub, were hand painted by him and will be included in the sale.

Other items will include several pieces of furniture which Syd customised or made himself, along with the easel, paints and paint table which Syd used regularly to paint.

The History of Art and Art in general were great loves of his, and this is seen in his artwork, his library and his writings, some of which were to be the foundations of an Art History book he was writing. The sale will also include other lots of various books, homemade speakers and a classical guitar.

Viewing for the sale will take place from the previous Sunday and a full colour catalogue will be available. The sale will also be available to view online at www.cheffins.co.uk.

Cheffins Auctioneers advise that you can bid in a number of ways. For those who are unable to attend in person, you will be able to bid live through the internet (via eBay and Liveauctioneers.com). Alternatively you can bid directly over the phone. More details are at their website.

Our thanks to Daniel for the head's up, and to Cheffins for their assistance.
