We have just received details of a new book, published in France and Belgium this month, which collects together photographs from renowned concert snapper, Paul Coerten. "Golden Years - Rock'n'Roll 70/80" is a celebration of many of the biggest names in live music, in atmospheric and telling live portraits.

We are pleased to share with you excerpts from the extensive press release for Nick Mason's forthcoming, and long anticipated, book about Pink Floyd - "Inside Out". The press release itself is a superbly produced item - housed in a LP style cover (the front of which shown to the right), is a four page glossy card fold out full of information about Nick's book. If the following details from the release don't whet your appetite for what's in the book, then we are not sure what will!

Antonioni's classic Zabriskie Point, which famously enlisted the help of Pink Floyd to provide music for the score, is receiving an airing on both German and UK television in the near future.

Pink Floyd feature in a new poll, looking at the "100 Greatest British Albums", published in the Observer Music Monthly magazine, which comes with today's issue of the UK newspaper.

As with all such polls, many people will debate the results at length - whenever you have subjective choices personal favourites will always be overlooked for overhyped, so-called "classics"! Pink Floyd appear at number 25, with Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, and appearing at number 63 is Dark Side Of The Moon (surely should have been higher than that?!). Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom appears at number 36, and of course, was produced by Nick Mason.
