This is the compelling story of the group that gave alternative London its first real soundtrack and launched on the rock world a radical combination of music, light shows and pyrotechnic stage effects. This is Pink Floyd: The Early Years, a revealing diary of the bands daily routine, from their roots in Cambridge to cult status in Sixties London. Author Barry Miles saw the band play when they were still called The Pink Floyd Sound and he wrote the first ever article about them for a New York underground newspaper in 1966. He also knew the band members socially, witnessed the rapid decline of Syd Barrett, and became actively involved in setting up some of Floyd’s major gigs. Don’t miss this book about these important stewards of rock ‘n’ roll! A revealing diary of Pink Floyd’s daily routine, from their roots in Cambridge to cult status in Sixties London. Author Barry Miles saw the band play when they were still called The Pink Floyd Sound and he wrote the first ever article about them for a New York underground newspaper in 1966. He also knew the band members socially, witnessed the rapid decline of Syd Barrett and became actively involved in setting up some of Floyd’s major gigs.
Just in time for the imminent re-releases of classic early Floyd albums, here is an intimate portrait of the band, from the British author who saw the band when they were still "The Pink Floyd Sound;" who wrote the first-ever article about them in 1966; who knew the band socially; and who helped them set up some of their major gigs. "The Early Years" is a biography built on many interviews over the years with members of the band. The book traces their history back to Cambridge and the Syd Barrett days, through the exciting underground London music scene, to the early Floyd singles such as "See Emily Play," to the addition of David Gilmour and the release of albums Atom Heart Mother and Meddle; right up to the release of the classic album that put Pink Floyd into the mainstream, "Dark Side of the Moon." An amazing read for Floyd fans and any fan of 60's - 70's British music. Here is a listing of related products.
