 WOW - 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.

Two-part Mojo Magazine Pink Floyd special - part two now available |

First revealed in February, and a reminder to you last month as sales of the publication have been extremely healthy (and it proved a struggle for a number of you to track one down in stores), the first part, known as Edition 1, of MOJO magazine's two-part Pink Floyd special collectors' edition is still available online in limited quantities, so don't delay. Housed in a gatefold card sleeve, with a mirrored prism on the front, and Atom Heart Mother's Lulubelle III pictured on the inside when opened up, the magazine covers the early period in the band's history: 1965-1973.
The good news for those who have been patiently waiting for part two, is that (from today) this second half can be found in UK stores now, while stocks last, or online naturally, and picks up where Pink Floyd Edition One: Echoes 1965-1973 left off. In Pink Floyd Edition Two: Echoes 1974-2019, the MOJO team covers the triumphant Wish You Were Here, the making of Animals and its flying-pig artwork, and deconstructs The Wall – brick by brick. They revisit Pink Floyd's Live 8 reunion, their surprise return to the studio with The Endless River, and pay tribute to Syd Barrett and Richard Wright. Bringing things right up to date, the magazine also goes "Flying high with Nick Mason's Saucers". Plus, among many classic, rare and previously unseen images, they've reprinted the Floyd's amazing hand-drawn 1974 UK Winter Tour programme in its entirety.
The editor, Mark Blake (he of the excellent Pigs Might Fly biography of the band) has put together the pair of 132 page magazines in part to tie in with the current tour of Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets that began last month in Vancouver. The publications pull together interviews and articles printed over the many years of MOJO magazine, and accompany them with many rare and previously unseen images of the band, to help trace the journey from the band's first steps, through to the present day.
There were certainly a healthy number of pictures which I'd not seen before, and refreshingly for a special publication such as this, there is no advertising within its pages to artificially inflate the page count. Both parts should be worthwhile purchases for Floyd fans, providing plenty to read, and lots of visual entertainment too.
PLEASE NOTE that Edition 1 (part one) is selling incredibly well, and copies are becoming very hard to find. Edition 2 (part two) is bound to be similarly popular. Secure your copy of both now by purchasing online (available worldwide) through these links at the publishers:
