ticketmastersComment(0)

November 2024 issue of the UK’s Mojo Magazine (https://www.greatmagazines.co.uk/mojo-november-2024), announced today and published on September 17th (and available online worldwide through this link (https://www.greatmagazines.co.uk/mojo-november-2024), has a big focus on David Gilmour and his excellent new album, Luck and Strange. The article finds David chatting with acclaimed author Mark Blake (Pigs Might Fly about Pink Floyd, and other books) about the new album. He also hints at more to come before too long: “I’ve got a trove of stuff already”. Alongside what the magazine are calling “The Definitive Interview”, there are articles looking at Joni Mitchell, the Ramones and much more. The cover mounted CD – Point Me At The Sky, with a suitably 60s design on the cover – holds “15 Flashbacks to the Golden Age of British Psych”, with Soft Machine, The Pretty Things and more. Always a great read, the magazine is due to arrive in UK stores in a week’s time, and will be available in selected locations worldwide as an import, in due course. Alternatively, you can order (worldwide) online through the Great Magazines website which is owned and run by the publishers of Mojo (and will secure you the cover-mounted CD as well!) (https://www.greatmagazines.co.uk/mojo-november-2024).

Nick Mason “Inside Out” signed copies – updated order form

ticketmastersComment(0)

For the last TWENTY YEARS (!) one of the most popular items that have been promoted through Brain Damage is Nick Mason’s excellent book, Inside Out: A Personal History Of Pink Floyd signed with your choice of dedication, by Nick himself. Even though the offer has been running for such a long time, we’ve had confirmation (with an updated order form to reflect the edition of the book that his office has available) that Nick is still more than happy to take care of this for you! What better present for the Floyd nut in your life, or indeed, for yourself? Below is the current version of the order forms (from August 2024) which is the only one that should be used from now on; if you have any older versions that you were in the process of completing, please disregard them. The nice people at Nick’s office organising it offer recorded/signed delivery, whichever country you live in. Sent from the UK, the cost of the book – the UK’s recent limited edition hardback – is £80, plus shipping. This is priced at £16 (for the UK), £22 (Europe) and £33 (North America and the rest of the world), all of which require a signature on delivery. Now, those who have seen this hardback edition (the one that Nick is signing for you) will know it weighs a ton (figuratively speaking) – so wherever you live, it is an expensive item to send. However, where else can you get Nick to put your chosen message for a loved one (or yourself!) down in writing, and know that it is genuine (unlike some of the items sold daily on eBay with obviously faked signatures on)? Please be aware that at certain times, Nick may be on holiday or involved in various projects – such as his band, Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets, who have just concluded their latest tour – which obviously has quite an effect on the speed that books can be signed and sent – especially as Nick writes each dedication himself. No secretarial signatures or pre-signed books here! To order the book, simply download the following form: Nick Mason signed and dedicated Inside Out book order form and complete your details, emailing the form through to the address given at the bottom. Full delivery and payment details are included on the form. Please order very early to ensure delivery for specific events (such as birthdays, weddings, and other celebrations). Our thanks to Nick and his team for continuing to make this possible.

New book: Everything Under the Sun: The Complete Guide to Pink Floyd

ticketmastersComment(0)

To be published at the end of next month, on August 29th 2024, is a new book, written by Mike Cormack, from The History Press publishers. Everything Under the Sun: The Complete Guide to Pink Floyd promises a comprehensive look at the band. The publishers told us that “Everything Under the Sun will be a high-level, fully sourced and footnoted analysis of the music of Pink Floyd (akin to Revolution in the Head by Ian MacDonald about The Beatles), and the first serious survey of the group’s work and achievements. As such, it will also be a cultural history of the UK, seen through the prism of the band”. They continued: “While there is a plethora of books about Pink Floyd and by Pink Floyd former members, none are truly comprehensive or do what this book seeks to do. Some give bald introductions to the songs with analysis, others give stories and anecdotes, and potted histories. But Everything Under the Sun will be the definitive book. In addition to a song-by-song analysis, it will include exclusive band interviews, a full chronology and gig guide, and a full bootleg guide. It will be the go-to book for any Pink Floyd fan”. It certainly sounds an interesting proposition, and as I’m regularly consulting numerous sources for Floyd information, if this book can reduce what I need to reach for on a daily basis that’s definitely welcomed!
