David Gilmour, Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets, Roger Waters in RSD 2025!

ticketmastersComment(0)

To celebrate Record Store Day 2025 (Saturday, April 12th), there are three, very tempting, limited edition releases coming that will be of interest to Pink Floyd fans. Firstly, Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets share an incredible live version of their interpretation of Echoes. Propelled by Nick Mason’s drumming, this recording captures the band with Gary Kemp, Guy Pratt, Dom Beken and Lee Harris at the peak of their powers. The performance was recorded on August 1st, 2024 at the Centennial Hall in Frankfurt, Germany by Steve Carr. Echoes Live was mixed by Steven Wilson with consultation and assistance from Dom Beken. This 12″ was half-speed mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road and uniquely plays from the inside-out for the ultimate sound quality. The B-side includes an exclusive etched design. Secondly, there’s a special clear vinyl 12″ of Between Two Points by David Gilmour with Romany Gilmour, from the album Luck and Strange. The four-track, vinyl-only release will feature an exclusive live version (coupled with Vita Brevis) from the Royal Albert Hall plus a new remix by Rob Gentry. Finally, in advance of his super deluxe box set, Roger Waters releases a special version of The Dark Side Of The Moon Redux Live. Pressed on limited-edition neon pink vinyl and recorded during two sold-out shows at the London Palladium in October 2023, this album captures the only live performance of Roger’s reimagined version of Pink Floyd’s seminal album. As with the other RSD 2025 releases, these are all limited editions: often the RSD releases are pressed up as just a few thousand or so worldwide, available to snap up on the day. And, as we’ve mentioned in previous years, these limited edition items are ONLY released via RSD participating stores, this year on 12th April 2025 – go to RecordStoreDay.com (https://www.recordstoreday.com/) or RecordStoreDay.co.uk (https://www.recordstoreday.co.uk) for more details of who those will be, and to get the full list of all releases in this event. A reminder that it will ONLY be these stores participating; the stores themselves can’t sell it online prior – the record will become available for customers coming through the door of the store from the morning of the 12th (and not before), in limited quantities – first come, first served, and only one copy per customer. After RSD, if copies remain, they may put them for sale online (and of course, there’ll also be copies on eBay inevitably…).

Pink Floyd One Slip project artwork surfaces

ticketmastersComment(0)

Back in 2015, Tim Davies wrote an exclusive piece for our website about his work for Pink Floyd (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/miscellaneous-articles/adventures-in-pink-floyd-land-cover-image-artist-tim-d.html). The article, which revealed some of the initial ideas under consideration for use on the cover of the Floyd’s 1987 album, A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, also talks about how his adaptation of a photo of a girl sitting on the side of a bath ended up on the One Slip cover. “I took some oil crayons and paint and scribbled over the figure, almost totally covering the figure, but leaving enough to show a rather impressionistic figure which would be perfect for [Blue Matisse, a French pop-group!! “Feeling pleased with my work I returned to the studio in Goodge Street, London. I spread the images out and Colin seemed very pleased with the results. We planned to show them to the group and their management in the next few days. The next day when I arrived at the studio all the images were gone. Colin told me that Storm [Thorgerson] had come to the studio with one of the musicians from Pink Floyd, possibly David Gilmour who was around a lot then. They saw the sketches and grabbed them for the singles cover image. Colin had told Storm they were for “Blue Matisse”, and Storm had replied “Not any more!” I am really proud to this day that a little piece of my art has made it onto a Pink Floyd record cover.” Fast forward to the end of last year, and one of Tim’s original artworks for this project (all created in the same sort of way) was discovered in a charity shop in the UK by Leigh Dorling. He contacted Tim, who replied back and kindly authenticated the piece of art. Leigh reached out to us as he felt we’d be interested in this follow-up to the story from 10 years ago. Thanks Leigh, and a very nice find! Thanks for letting us know, Leigh, and thanks for the pictures of the artwork and the authentication!

David Gilmour announces two rehearsal concerts in Brighton

ticketmastersComment(0)

Following the release of David Gilmour’s Luck and Strange, his critically acclaimed first new album in nine years, this week, has been an announcement which reminds us of 2015. Today, Gilmour has announced two very special rehearsal performances at the Brighton Centre on the south coast of England, on September 20th (Evening) (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2024-david-gilmour-tour-zone/september-20th-brighton-centre-brighton-en.html) and 21st (Matinee) (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2024-david-gilmour-tour-zone/september-21st-brighton-centre-brighton-en.html). Each show will be limited to just 1500 people. Many of you will remember that in 2015, Gilmour performed what was called a “preview show” at the same venue, which had been used for production rehearsals, and the Brighton Centre obviously worked well as a facility to get the show into its final shape, hence these newly announced concerts. Tickets for the shows are £30, and to be in with a chance to get them, fans will need to have
purchased a copy of Luck and Strange from the official David Gilmour UK store (https://store-uk.davidgilmour.com) by 8am, Monday, September 16th. This will give the chance for first access to the available tickets. Those who have already ordered from the store will also be included. Visit that website to get full details of terms and conditions of the ticketing process. The shows will offer an exclusive preview of David’s forthcoming live performances in Rome, London, Los Angeles, and New York.

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!
