Following our previous news stories
about John Harris's eagerly anticipated book, "The Making Of The Pink
Floyd Masterpiece, The Dark Side of The Moon", the book has now been
published worldwide, and we've taken a good look at it.

John Harris - Dark Side Of The Moon
Artwork by Storm Thorgerson |
The hardback book is an
excellent, indepth analysis of the album, and has been designed by
Storm Thorgerson and his team. The highly detailed cover is typical of
their great work, and the glass marble casting a shadow will no doubt
be cause for some debate!
The book itself features the
whole story of the album, from the early days of the band, through to
every aspect of the development of the music and recording, retold
through the extensive interviews obviously done with all members of the
band, together with other key individuals involved.
The book is bolstered with rare
photographs; the US edition is peppered throughout with unusual shots,
many of which have come from Nick Mason's own archives. The UK edition
features a selection of these shots. The first-hand interviews, and the
use of Nick's pictures, give an added edge to the book, distancing it
from other books which can sometimes be simply rehashes of other
published works.
Be sure to read our review of John Harris's book, and also check out the special website that has been set up to coincide with the release. www.darksideofthemoonbook.com
is definitely worth a visit - alongside information about the book and
the author, there is a ten picture photo gallery which includes four
from Nick's archives (such as Earls Court 1973 and Syd Barrett, late
1967), and four from Jill Furmanovsky's archives (such as Brighton
1972, on stage). There is also an excerpt from the book - the prologue.
Orders for this long-awaited book can be placed through these special links: Amazon.com (US/International), Amazon UK, Amazon Canada, France and Germany.
