Back in February, we brought you the news that Ron Geesin's 'The Flaming Cow: The Making of Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother' is due for publication next month, on July 17th.
'The Flaming Cow' offers a rare insight into the brilliant but often fraught collaboration between Pink Floyd and composer Geesin, the result of which became known as Atom Heart Mother - the Floyd's first UK number one album. From the time drummer Nick Mason visited Geesin's damp basement flat in
Notting Hill, to the last game of golf between bassist Roger Waters and
Geesin, this book is an unflinching account about how one of Pink
Floyd's most celebrated compositions came to life. Alongside unpublished
photographs from the Abbey Road recording sessions (the only ones
taken) and the subsequent performances in London and Paris, Geesin goes
on to describe how the title was chosen, why he was not credited on the
record, how he left Hyde Park in tears, and why the group did not much
like the work. The Flaming Cow also explores its recent performances, and its new-found cult status that has led to it being studied for the French Baccalaureat.
The book - with a foreword by Nick Mason - promises to be a great read,
and we're certainly looking forward to it. You can place your order for
