Description

The definitive oral history of Pink Floyd as told by friends, lovers, family members, and the band themselves through exclusive, never-before-published interviews.

In Pink Floyd: Shine On, acclaimed music writer and band confidant Mark Blake tells the definitive story of Pink Floyd for the first time in their own words.

Based on Mark's own extensive archive--from talking to the band over a thirty-five year period and including extensive new interviews with band members and associates--the book will consist of much previously unpublished material and include contributions from all five members and their colleagues, friends, lovers, and contemporaries.

Featuring a front cover photograph licensed directly from the band's long time designers, giving the book an official, authoritative air, this is a fresh, revealing look at this groundbreaking band that opened new directions in pop music.

Critical Reviews

"A history of the rock pioneers in the words of its members and those who knew them well. Blake incorporates interviews he has done over the past 35 years with the band's members and associates. They provide fascinating insight into the band's early days. Floating like an angel above the book is Barrett, whose legacy Blake honors beautifully. Pink Floyd fans will love this tribute, as should anyone with an interest in rock history."--Kirkus Reviews
