New German Pink Floyd special magazine available

ticketmastersComment(0)

With thanks to our friend Michael Nickel, we have news particularly aimed at those of you who read German. The publication Rock Classics have released a special edition of their magazine (issue 32, cover date July/August/September) which is focused on Pink Floyd, and includes a pair of posters of the band. The following description (translated by Michael) explains what is found within its pages: “All albums, Backgrounds, Interviews. Not only the demand for the music of PINK FLOYD seems to be unbroken, but also the demand for writing that traces the work of the giants of progressive rock in an entertaining and compact form. There is no other explanation for the fact that both editions of the successful bestselling special edition series ROCK CLASSICS from 2011 and 2016, which were dedicated to Roger Waters, David Gilmour & Co, are now out of print. “On the 15th anniversary of the death of legendary co-founder Syd Barrett, who would have celebrated his 75th birthday in 2021, there is now an updated new edition supplemented by three additional interviews (with Nick Mason, Roger Waters and ‘Us + Them’ tour musician Jonathan Wilson) and two posters to invite all fans (again) on the fascinating journey to the dark side of the moon.” The magazine is now available in all good shops in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the BeNeLux countries. Alternatively, you can buy it online, worldwide, through the publisher’s online store (https://www.mjusick.com/products/pink-floyd-das-sonderheft-rock-classics-32).

Pink Floyd Captured Through Time paperback edition coming

ticketmastersComment(0)

Published as a hardback edition in May 2019 (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/archive/win-one-of-two-copies-of-new-book-pink-floyd-captured-through.html), Pink Floyd – Captured Through Time is being published as a paperback on September 24th, 2021. Captured Through Time is a photographic celebration of the band that takes you on a journey from the psychedelic, avant-garde sixties to recent days including off stage shots of all the band members. The publishers note that before this book, many of the photos had never been published in print before, including a sequence of shots from the Animals tour in 1977 that had only just been developed from the original negatives and digitally restored for this publication. In total, the book has over 100 images of Pink Floyd both on and off stage through the decades included in this paperback book. If you wish to order this book, you can do so through the following links; ordering (anything) through our links also helps with BD’s ongoing running costs, and we really appreciate it: Amazon UK (https://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1912782758/braindamage-21), Amazon France (https://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/1912782758/braindamageon-21), Amazon Germany (https://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/1912782758/braindamage0f-21), Amazon Spain (https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/1912782758/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8 tag=braidama01-21 linkCode=as2 camp=3626 creative=24822 creativeASIN=1912782758) and Amazon Italy (https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/1912782758/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8 camp=3370 creative=24114 creativeASIN=1912782758 linkCode=as2 tag=bradamonl-21).
