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!

Genesis Publications unveil three special Syd Barrett/Mick Rock portraits Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Wednesday, 16 September 2009

Syd Barrett portraits by Mick Rock - special Genesis Publications set of three (2009)"He seems tense, suspended. He treads through time and space very gingerly. Thin and pale, with eyes still shocked by it all, he looks like a poet of old. The wasted, ephemeral beauty of a Keats." So wrote Mick Rock of Pink Floyd's founder member, Syd Barrett, in Rolling Stone magazine. The year was 1971 and it would prove to be Syd Barrett's last ever photo shoot, which recently appeared in Mick's "Psychedelic Renegades" book (first as a deluxe limited edition by Genesis Publications, then as a standard edition from Plexus).

As part of Genesis' 35th anniversary celebrations, Mick has hand-selected three portraits from that legendary last session to be reproduced as large-format, hand-signed and numbered, limited edition art prints [click thumbnail to the left] available now exclusively to Genesis subscribers, sales of which will benefit the Syd Barrett Fund.

In honour of Syd's creative and innovative genius, and in celebration of Mick's past Genesis editions (Psychedelic Renegades, Moonage Daydream, and Killer Queen), each photograph has been dramatically screen printed in black ink on to aluminium.

Suitable for framing, only 65 of each of the 11x14 inch screenprints will ever be made. The three portraits are produced from the negative for the first time, are not available as prints anywhere else and have been selected by Mick himself.

For a limited time only the portraits are available individually, priced at £495, or as a complete set for £1,200 (plus p&p). However, if you already own, or purchase a copy of one of Mick Rock's Genesis editions, each print will be available at a reduced price of £395 individually - or £950 for the complete set (plus p&p).

The Syd Barrett Fund – a charity that helps to raise money for arts projects for mental health patients – is receiving a donation from the sale of every print, which is entirely fitting, and a great cause.
