You will recall that last week, there was a very special, and limited offer, concerning the newly released (and spectacular) Pink Floyd at Pompeii MCMLXXII.

The official Pink Floyd store had an exclusive for UK customers only - a special, hand signed, double-sided card by Nick Mason showing him in action during the filming. The card, which measures 5.5 inches x 8.5 inches, accompanied the double CD, and the offer ended when the supplies were exhausted.

If you weren't fortunate enough to secure one of these signed cards, here's an additional opportunity for you. Fresh from Nick's signing session, and courtesy of his management, we have three of these beauties to give away in the latest Brain Damage competition!

To be in with a chance of winning a signed card (the CD is shown in the picture just to give a sense of size of the cards, and isn't part of the prize), simply tell us the following:

• Who directed Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii?
• Which album did Roger Waters refer to during the film as having issues with its initial mastering/pressing?
• In which song(s) did Nick drop a drumstick?

Some of you will recall that in January 2024, the UK's National Space Centre (which is located in Leicester) hosted the fulldome planetarium show of The Dark Side Of The Moon. With full 360 degree visuals, and the latest audio remastering being used, it sounded a great evening.

Due to the success of that, they've arranged for another couple of screenings to take place. Both occurring on Friday, May 30th, 2025, they are at 7pm and 8:30pm, and tickets are now on sale through this direct link to the National Space Centre which also gives more information about the event, along with pictures of how it might look.

The following video also gives a taste, but of course won't be anything like seeing it on the planetarium ceiling!

Some magazine news for you this morning: just published is the latest issue (number 44 - cover date May 2025) of the Pink Floyd fanzine "Heyou" run by our friends over at the Italian website of the same name. The 52-page dual language magazine (in Italian and English), which is published every six months or so, catches up with things in the Floyd world. The images within are all in black and white, within the full colour cover.

The first section is devoted to the lyrics of David Gilmour's recent album, Luck and Strange, presented in the original English, and translated into Italian, accompanied by pictures of various things related to the project. These include studio and rehearsal shots.

The central chunk of the magazine is a translation of a lengthy piece from 1998 interviewing Storm Thorgerson, coinciding with the publication of Mind Over Matter. This fascinating book is focused on the imagery created for the Floyd, and the interview finds Storm in typically amusing form!

The reissue, in lovely remixed and restored sound and vision, of Pink Floyd in Pompeii MCMLXXII, sees the press release shared in English and Italian, giving details of the background to the release. Again, this is accompanied by a range of pictures from the film, along with memorabilia.

Finally, there's a look at the three recent releases for 2025's Record Store Day - David Gilmour with Romany Gilmour's Between Two Points 12" in clear vinyl, Roger Waters' Redux LP of The Dark Side Of The Moon in pink vinyl, and Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets performance of Echoes live, on 12". As with elsewhere in the issue, there's some distortion of the images used, and there's also an error in the layout of the Echoes description, with the text off the top of the page. This is an unusual error as they normally seem to take good care of such things.

The Heyou website can now be found through this link at www.heyou.it, where you can get individual copies (including back issues), and subscription enquiries (four issues costing 35 euros within Europe, and 45 euros outside Europe) should go to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it - make sure you mention Brain Damage when you write!

Just announced, a very limited edition of Pink Floyd at Pompeii MCMLXXII is available while the very limited stocks last.

It's an exclusive from the official Pink Floyd store, for UK customers only - a special, hand signed, double-sided postcard by Nick Mason showing him in action during the filming. The postcard, which measures 5.5 inches x 8.5 inches, accompanies the double CD, and this very special offer ends at 4pm tomorrow (8th May) or while supplies last. It appeared on the site late last night and sold out almost instantly, although more have now become available to order.

The 2CD set contains the live performances from the film as well as two additional tracks, including a previously unreleased extended version of A Saucerful Of Secrets. Those who have heard Steven Wilson's new mix from the original reels will know just how good it sounds now! The reaction to this new version of Pompeii has been superb, and the album is on track to be Pink Floyd's seventh number one in the upcoming charts.

If you aren't fortunate enough to secure one of these signed editions, you can of course order Pink Floyd at Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, DVD, 2LP and the 2CD from retailers worldwide - details in that link.
