Everything Under the Sun : The Complete Guide to Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd - Book - by Mike Cormack
(2024)
Pink Floyd formed in London in 1965, signed with EMI in 1967, and
recorded their first album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, which was
released to immediate acclaim in the same year. Since then, the band has
released 15 studio albums and sold over 250 million records. Their
eighth album, Dark Side of the Moon, is the highest-selling British
album in the world (and fourth overall), at over 40 million copies.
Their last album, The Endless River (2014), has sold over ten million
copies, and founder members Roger Waters and Nick Mason still
(separately) tour the world. Indeed, they hardly need an introduction:
their profile remains very high, with millions of fans around the world.
Everything Under the Sun will be a high-level, fully sourced and
footnoted analysis of the music of Pink Floyd (akin to Revolution in the
Head by Ian Macdonald about The Beatles), and the first serious survey
of the group’s work and achievements.
As such, it will also be a
cultural history of the UK, seen through the prism of the band.
While there is a plethora of books about Pink Floyd and by Pink Floyd
former members, none are truly comprehensive or do what this book seeks
to do. Some give bald introductions to the songs with analysis, others
give stories and anecdotes, and potted histories.
But Everything
Under the Sun will be the definitive book. In addition to a
song-by-song analysis, it will include exclusive band interviews, a full
chronology and gig guide, and a full bootleg guide. It will be the
go-to book for any Pink Floyd fan.
