Inside Out

Więcej o książce

For the first time, the story of Pink Floyd is told from an insider's perspective. With 116 million albums sold and 25 years on the charts, they are one of the most successful rock groups, yet their narrative remains largely unknown. Nick Mason, the band's only continuous member over its 40-year history, has experienced every twist and turn from behind his drum kit. The journey traces the band's origins as icons of London's late 1960s underground, the creation of their classic sound, and their evolution through landmark albums like The Wall and iconic stadium shows. It highlights key figures who shaped the band's trajectory, including the deterioration and departure of Syd Barrett, the monumental success of The Dark Side of the Moon, and the ensuing pressures and conflicts, particularly the rift with Roger Waters. Mason and David Gilmour's choice to continue as Pink Floyd despite challenges is also explored. Featuring rare photographs and vintage graphics from Mason's private collection, this book offers insights for both longtime fans and newcomers. Designed by Storm Thorgerson, known for his iconic imagery, it combines candid memories with extensive research and interviews, creating a comprehensive history of one of rock's most imaginative bands.
