Book excerpt: (FAQ). More than four decades since their first album, and 35 years after the release of the iconic Dark Side of the Moon , Pink Floyd continue to inspire and mystify rock fans around the world. Pink Floyd FAQ , by pop culture author Stuart Shea, lays out the band's strange, winding history through a new series of prisms. What were the band's most memorable gigs? What are their greatest moments on record, as a group and individually? What contemporary records influenced them, and which performers follow in their wake? What was it like to be at a Pink Floyd show in 1967, in 1973, in 1980? Pink Floyd FAQ tells the band's story, dissects their most popular work, and provides little-known facts, all adding up to a provocative must-read for fans. With pages of stories, history, observation, opinion, photos, and reminiscences from those who were there, Pink Floyd FAQ will discuss frankly what made the band great as well as note their not-so-great moments and their place in modern pop culture, giving credit where credit is due and maybe puncturing some inflatable pigs along the way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comfortably Numb-A History of ?The Wall?: Pink Floyd 1978-1981 is an inside look at one of the most unusual rock and roll stories of all time. The Wall is the tale of a rock star, Pink, and his battle to cope in a world filled with tragedy and hardship. Unable to deal with reality, Pink isolates himself by creating a psychological wall between himself and the world that has caused him so much pain. But even Pink cannot escape from the forces that surround him. He is forced to confront his fears and tear down his wall. The Wall is certainly one of the most intriguing rock concept pieces ever written. Conceived by Roger Waters, and released as an album in 1979 by Pink Floyd, The Wall is the best selling double album of all time. It also spawned the number 1 single, ?Another Brick in the Wall, part 2.? But The Wall became more than a best selling album. It was developed into an elaborate stage presentation which, in 1980 and 1981, thrilled audiences by combining superb musical performances by Pink Floyd with a theatrical presentation that featured giant puppets, animation, and a giant wall across the stage. Pink?s story amazed audiences who witnessed first hand the building of the wall, Pink?s isolation behind the wall, and, at the end of the show, the destruction of the wall as it crumbled before their very eyes. The Wall stage shows have become legendary, and to this day remain one of the most amazing stage spectacles ever presented by a rock band. Every aspect of The Wall is examined in this book in detail, including The Wall story, it?s recording history, the Pink Floyd album, the development of the stage show, insights into how it was staged, and a look back at every single performance of The Wall throughout the world. To compliment the text, this book is lavishly illustrated with over 400 pictures from the Wall era, including numerous rare and previously unpublished photos from the personal collections of the people who were involved in creating The Wall album and stage shows, as well as hundreds of pieces of Wall memorabilia from the Pink Floyd Archives collection. No other book has covered the inside details of rock?s conceptual masterpiece, both in story and pictures, in the way that this book does. Fans of Pink Floyd, contemporary music, and rock & roll theater will find this a truly unique and fascinating book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In celebration of the 45th anniversary of The Dark Side of the Moon, Bill Kopp explores the ingenuity with which Pink Floyd rebranded itself following the 1968 departure of Syd Barrett. Not only did the band survive Barrett’s departure, but it went on to release landmark albums that continue to influence generations of musicians and fans. Reinventing Pink Floyd follows the path taken by the remaining band members to establish a musical identity, develop a songwriting style, and create a new template for the manner in which albums are made and even enjoyed by listeners. As veteran music journalist Bill Kopp illustrates, that path was filled with failed experiments, creative blind alleys, one-off musical excursions, abortive collaborations, general restlessness, and—most importantly—a dedicated search for a distinctive musical personality. This exciting guide to the works of 1968 through 1973 highlights key innovations and musical breakthroughs of lasting influence. Kopp places Pink Floyd in its historical, cultural, and musical contexts while celebrating the test of fire that took the band from the brink of demise to enduring superstardom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The newest addition to the best-selling All the Songs series details the unique recording history of Pink Floyd, one of the world's most commercially successful and influential rock bands. Since 1965, Pink Floyd been recording sonically experimental and philosophical music, selling more than 250 million records worldwide, including two of the best-selling albums of all time Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall. While much is known about this iconic group, few books provide a comprehensive history of their time in the studio. In Pink Floyd All the Songs, authors Margotin and Guesdon describe the origin of their nearly 200 released songs, details from the recording studio, what instruments were used, and behind-the-scenes stories of the tensions that helped drive the band. Organized chronologically by album, this massive, 544-page hardcover begins with their 1967 debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, the only one recorded under founding member Syd Barrett's leadership; through the loss of Barrett and the addition of David Gilmour; to Richard Wright leaving the band in 1979 but returning; to Roger Waters leaving in 1985 and the albums recorded since his departure, including their 2014 farewell album, The Endless River, which was downloaded 12 million times on Spotify the week it was released. Packed with more than 500 photos, All the Songs is also filled with stories fans treasure, such as Waters working with engineer Alan Parsons to employ revolutionary recording techniques for The Dark Side of the Moon at Abbey Road Studios in 1972 or producer Bob's Ezrin's contribution in refining Water's original sprawling vision for The Wall.

Book excerpt: In this tender-hearted debut, set against the tumultuous backdrop of life in 1973, when homosexuality is still considered a mental illness, two boys defy all the odds and fall in love. Now in paperback. The year is 1973. The Watergate hearings are in full swing. The Vietnam War is still raging. And homosexuality is still officially considered a mental illness. In the midst of these trying times is sixteen-year-old Jonathan Collins, a bullied, anxious, asthmatic kid, who aside from an alcoholic father and his sympathetic neighbor and friend Starla, is completely alone. To cope, Jonathan escapes to the safe haven of his imagination, where his hero David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and dead relatives, including his mother, guide him through the rough terrain of his life. In his alternate reality, Jonathan can be anything: a superhero, an astronaut, Ziggy Stardust, himself, or completely "normal" and not a boy who likes other boys. When he completes his treatments, he will be normal—at least he hopes. But before that can happen, Web stumbles into his life. Web is everything Jonathan wishes he could be: fearless, fearsome and, most importantly, not ashamed of being gay. Jonathan doesn't want to like brooding Web, who has secrets all his own. Jonathan wants nothing more than to be "fixed" once and for all. But he's drawn to Web anyway. Web is the first person in the real world to see Jonathan completely and think he's perfect. Web is a kind of escape Jonathan has never known. For the first time in his life, he may finally feel free enough to love and accept himself as he is.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond its elucidation and critique of traditional ‘notation-centric’ musicology, this book's primary emphasis is on the negotiation and construction of meaning within the extended musical multimedia works of the classic British group Pink Floyd. Encompassing the concept albums that the group released from 1973 to 1983, during Roger Waters’ final period with the band, chapters are devoted to Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), The Wall (1979) and The Final Cut (1983), along with Waters’ third solo album Amused to Death (1993). This book's analysis of album covers, lyrics, music and film makes use of techniques of literary and film criticism, while employing the combined lenses of musical hermeneutics and discourse analysis, so as to illustrate how sonic and musical information contribute to listeners’ interpretations of the discerning messages of these monumental musical artifacts. Ultimately, it demonstrates how their words, sounds, and images work together in order to communicate one fundamental concern, which—to paraphrase the music journalist Karl Dallas—is to affirm human values against everything in life that should conspire against them.

Book excerpt: All of Pink Floyd's 70s albums are a barometer of Britain's changing moods, as an age of optimism gave way to angst and apprehension. As the group evolved from the Flower Power world of their late-sixties music through the era-defining Dark Side of the Moon to the acerbic, late-seventies attitudes of The Wall, they became arguably the only British rock act to straddle the cultural divide between the swinging 60s and the post-punk 70s. In Pink Floyd's The Wall, Jeff Bench and Daniel O'Brien describe the making of The Wall—both the album and the film—and place it in the context of the changes in music and society which the album reflected. The book contains scores of rare color and black-and-white illustrations, including exclusive shots of the 1980 and 1990 live performances.
