 To be published at the end of this month by White Owl (and on August 30th in North America) is a new book, Pink Floyd: Album by Album by Stephen Palmer.
The book, written by a musician who is a long-standing Pink Floyd fan, is said to analyse the music as well as the context it was created in, and looks at the "unique contributions of each of the five members to the group". It includes concert photographs from fans.
As we've yet to see a copy of it, here's how the book is described: "This unique group gave so much to Britain, yet in telling the personal stories of the five remarkable individuals comprising it the impact of their music is sometimes overlooked. This book focuses on that music: Syd Barrett's melodic childhood nuggets, David Gilmour's
transcendent blues guitar, Roger Waters' lyrical brilliance, and Nick Mason's mesmeric
drumming; and the keyboards and voice of Rick Wright, whose loss inspired mourning and
tributes reinforcing his position as the soul of the group, not least when it came to the final Pink Floyd album.
"This book tells a fifty-five year story, from the sun-dappled haunts of Cambridge, through stadium concerts and the fourth bestselling album of all time, to the messy, but ultimately triumphant conclusion."
