Some great news has been announced this afternoon, following some online rumours and speculation – Richard Wrightâs debut solo album, Wet Dream, is to be reissued on vinyl for the first time since its original release in 1978 – this time in deep blue transparent marbled vinyl. It will also be available on streaming platforms for the first time ever including a new Dolby Atmos mix, on CD and on blu-ray which includes a 5.1 mix and never before released personal images and videos from around this period of his life. To be released on July 28th – the date that would have been his 80th birthday – it will initially be made available on CD and all streaming platforms, with the vinyl and blu-ray editions of the record being released on September 29th. Remixed by Steven Wilson, this reissue comes with brand new artwork that was commissioned and art-directed by Gala and Jamie Wright, Richard’s children and managers of his estate. As per the original release, the bi-fold sleeve folds out to extend the image and features the same vibrant colour palette. This time, the unidentified person in bright red shorts is swimming within deep blue waters of the sea rather than a pool and the image expands out to reveal a boat slightly out of their reach, referencing the nautical theme of the record. The image was taken by Costas Spathis, a photographer living and working in Greece, which is where the album was written and the graphic design is by Carl Glover. The original artwork was designed by Storm Thorgerson and photographed by Audrey Powell for Hipgnosis and features in the vinyl booklet. Upon rediscovering this record, it becomes hugely apparent how much of Richard’s DNA runs through Pink Floyd. His distinct rhythm patterns, song structure and style of play exudes throughout, shining a light on his unique talent and influence on modern music. When originally released, post Pink Floyd’s Animals (1977) and shortly before 1979’s The Wall, Wet Dream was largely under-appreciated. Steven Wilson’s mix is designed to give new life to the record demonstrating Wright’s brilliance. Richard wrote and produced the whole album himself and it was one of only three albums he released outside of Pink Floyd, the others being Broken China, from 1996, and Identity, released in 1983 under the guise of Zee, a duet with Dave Harris from Fashion. The Blu-ray edition of Wet Dream includes the Dolby Atmos mIx, a 5.1 surround mix (DTS-HD Master Audio 96/24), the new stereo mix in Hi-Res Audio (96/24), and exclusive personal videos along with a photo gallery. It’s housed in a book format with collectable postcards and an 8-page booklet. Here’s a first taste of the album: ORDERING INFORMATION:

Back in December, we told you about a new, streaming-only release from Roger Waters – The Lockdown Sessions. The album consists of six songs, and runs for 39 and a half minutes. At that time, there were no publicised plans for a physical release of this, but in April we gave the good news for those of you interested in this, is that a CD and limited vinyl LP had been announced. Today – June 2nd, 2023 – these physical editions have hit the shelves of stores (both real and virtual). With the vinyl edition being limited, we suspect it won’t hang around for long, so if you want to add to your collection, it’s worth doing so without too much delay. Housed in a gatefold cover, the tracks on the album are Mother, Two Suns In The Sunset, Vera, The Gunner’s Dream, The Bravery Of Being Out Of Range, and Comfortably Numb 2022. Roger explained that he was going to do an album of unusual encores, but then lockdown struck. “Our Us and Them Tour lasted three years… At every gig we did an encore after the main show closed with Comfortably Numb⦠the encore was always Mother… I can’t remember why I decided to start doing other songs?… Anyway, at some point after the end of the tour⦠I started thinking, “It could make an interesting album, all those encores”⦠“The Encores”. “Yeah, has a nice ring to it!” Thenâ¦I’m in England doing the Ginger Baker tribute gig one Tuesday night at the Hammersmith Odeon with Eric Clapton and⦠the following Saturday marching from The Australian Embassy to Parliament Square to make a speech in support of Julian Assange, when bugger me, Covidâ¦Schlummmm! “For me it was Friday March 13th 2020. Lockdown! So much for the “Encores” project. Unless⦠We’ve tacked C. Numb on the end of the collection, as an appropriate exclamation point in closing this circle of love.” The Lockdown Sessions were recorded at home during the Covid lockdown between 2020 and 2021.

Announced this lunchtime: Toronto has been confirmed as the seventh location to host The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains, the magnificent and critically acclaimed major retrospective of Pink Floyd, their music and the impact the band had on art and culture. Canada sees the exhibition remain on its shores having recently staged it in Montreal. Following its hugely successful debut at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum in 2017, which saw over 400,000 people attend, the exhibition has subsequently traveled to Italy, Germany, Spain and the United States attracting well over 500,000 people and will now take residency in the cultural hub of Toronto. The Exhibition opens on Friday, June 16th, 2023, and is being held at the Better Living Centre at Exhibition Place in the city. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 26th at 10am EST. The Better Living Centre should be a good venue for the immersive experiential journey through Pink Floyd’s world. The band played in Toronto a number of times, as have the individual members of the band on their solo tours. The exhibition normally runs for a while, and once we have the anticipated closing date, we will update this story. “After a hugely successful run in Montreal this past year, it was time to bring The Pink Floyd Exhibition to Toronto to rock the summer,” said Michael Cohl, Executive Producer of the exhibition and Canadian Promoter of Pink Floyd. “It’s only fitting since Pink Floyd has such strong ties to the city, notably the sold-out 1987 shows that launched the next phase of their storied career. I am thrilled to be able to present this exhibition in my hometown where we can all celebrate Pink Floyd’s legacy.” “Pink Floyd has an enduring history in Toronto starting with their premiere concert in 1973 at Maple Leaf Gardens; and having performed at Exhibition Stadium seven times during the 80s and 90s,” said Darrell Brown, CNE CEO. “The CNE has a rich musical legacy, and we are honoured to be hosting this incredible retrospective on the grounds where many of their most memorable Toronto concerts took place. The CNEA is proud to be part of this extraordinary exhibition that brings the history and music of Pink Floyd in a new light.” To purchase tickets for the exhibition, and for more information, please visit PinkFloydExhibition.com (http://www.pinkfloydexhibition.com) and as before, advance booking is highly recommended as popular times and dates will no doubt sell quickly. Ticket prices include the excellent audioguide which attendees to previous stagings of the exhibition will know is an extremely well designed facility which will really enhance your visit. Each day of operation the first entry is at midday (12pm) and evening tickets (normally after 6pm) are more expensive. There’s also a VIP package available to purchase. Here are the hours each week that you can visit the exhibition, of which you really need to allocate at least two hours to get around: Monday: Closed
Tuesday â Thursday: 12pm to 10pm (last visit)
Friday â Saturday: 12pm to 10pm (last visit)
Sunday: 12pm to 10pm (last visit) For more information about the exhibition, you can also check out the various articles here on Brain Damage, or, as mentioned above, visit www.pinkfloydexhibition.com (http://www.pinkfloydexhibition.com).
Estadio River Plate in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on November 21st 2023 (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2023-tour-zone/november-21st-estadio-river-plate-buenos-aires-arge.html). We suspect there will be more shows at the venue, and other venues in that part of the world. The current show is presented live in the round – a departure from Roger’s previous shows – and we wonder if there will be different staging for this stadium show due to the practicalities of the location. The production has already been seen in the US and Canada in the latter part of 2022, and Europe in early to mid 2023, showcasing both the new visuals, and the new set list. More details of that can be found in the show pages for concerts which have already taken place on Roger’s 2022 and 2023 tour – but don’t go there if you don’t want to have any surprises spoilt! Tickets for this show will go on sale first in an exclusive instance for Santander American Express customers, starting on Monday, May 8th at 10 am local time. This pre-sale will be open for 48 hours or until stock is exhausted, whichever comes first, and then leads to the general sale.

Last night, a packed Everyman Kings Cross cinema in London witnessed the first screening of Have You Got It Yet? The Story of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd. An event mainly for family, friends and those involved with the film in some way, the guest list stretched so far that they had to devote both auditoriums to the screening! It felt like a bit of a “who’s who” of Syd’s world were there to witness an absolutely superb documentary about the life of Barrett, from his very early days through to the genesis of Pink Floyd, his solo career after, and then on to a quiet life in Cambridge back as Roger, with the Syd persona left behind in London. A straw poll after showed that the film gave an excellent insight into Barrett, his life and career, for those who were novices AND those who had followed Barrett’s life for many years. There was some incredible footage, and photographs, which had never been shown before, ranging from early Floyd gigs to pictures of Barrett at Abbey Road Studios during the recording of the Wish You Were Here album. The film is at turns funny, touching, revelatory, absorbing and also there’s sections which are sad. At times, there’s opportunities to dispel certain myths about the man, and to give more background to Barrett the man. It’s a film that has been in the works for many years, with Storm Thorgerson working alongside Roddy Bogawa on it in his final few years, and it does seem to form a tribute to Thorgerson as well, with his presence felt through the film, not least from pithy off-screen comments. Typical Storm! The film will be screened at Everyman Cinemas in the UK from May 15th, with the US Canada getting their opportunity from June. SydBarrettFilm.com (https://www.SydBarrettFilm.com) is the place to check out for the latest information on the film, its screenings, and hopefully a later home release either on streaming or physical media. It really is a film that deserves your efforts in getting to a participating screen. The intro by Bogawa that took place in the bar before the film, was filmed by Marcelo Paulo de Souza for our friends at Pink Floyd Collectors and here it is – it gives a flavour of the breadth of previously unseen material in the film, and some background to the making of it.
At long last, the much anticipated documentary about Syd Barrett, called Have You Got It Yet? The Story Of Syd Barrett Pink Floyd, has been officially announced with a trailer giving a first glimpse. The film was directed by Storm Thorgerson (Hipgnosis) and award-winning director Roddy Bogawa, and features new interviews with Syd’s friends, lovers, family and band mates Roger Waters, David Gilmour, and Nick Mason. This has been in the works for many years and it is great that it will finally be seen. It promises “rarely seen excerpts of Syd backstage, never-before seen photographs and a soundtrack full of Floyd’s music”. Needless to say, this sounds an essential watch. Apart from a screening for an invited audience tomorrow in London, the film will premiere across Everyman Cinemas in the UK from Monday 15th May – please visit EverymanCinema.com (https://www.everymancinema.com/) for more details. It will hit cinemas in the US and Canada from late June, and hopefully elsewhere too in due course. For more details of the film, see SydBarrettFilm.com (https://www.sydbarrettfilm.com/#/). In the meantime, here’s the trailer:
