A potential addition to your Floydian bookshelves is published on March 23rd next year, tying in with the 50th anniversary of the release of one of the most iconic albums of all time. Martin Popoff’s Pink Floyd and The Dark Side of the Moon: 50 Years is a new, slipcased hardback book promising to delve into the detail of the band’s 1973 epic. The publicity for the book notes that “veteran rock critic Martin Popoff leaves no stone unturned in taking apart Pink Floyd’s generation-spanning masterpiece, The Dark Side of the Moon, while exploring each of the album’s 10 tracks and their themes of madness, anxiety, and alienation. Chapters cover: The state of Pink Floyd as of 1972, with special emphasis on deposed founder Syd Barrett
The recording sessions at famed Abbey Road Studios, including techniques used and the roles of personnel such as engineer Alan Parsons
Song-by-song studies of each album side, including analyses of lyrics and the guitars, drums, keyboards, and synthesizers employed by members David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright
The ground-breaking art and packaging created by design firm Hipgnosis and its co-founder Storm Thorgerson
The continent-hopping tours that supported the album and also introduced the songs before its release
The rock groupâs trajectory post-Dark Side, including notable albums, tours, and the departure of Waters The publishers also note that “Popoff… takes you on side journeys examining each band member, session players, prog rock, the Live at Pompeii concert and film, Waters’ singular writing technique, Dark Side collectibles, awards, and more. There’s even a brief discography and complete LP tour dates. Presented in a 10″ Ã 10″ slipcased book, Pink Floyd and The Dark Side of the Moon is illustrated with stunning performance and candid off-stage photography as well as rare memorabilia.” Certainly sounds interesting, and we’re looking forward to checking it out around the time of the album’s anniversary.

As hinted at on the official Pink Floyd social media channels last week, this week London’s Battersea Power Station, which has been undergoing major renovation and rebuilding, was lit up to mark the release of the Floyd’s superb Animals 2018 Remix on LP, CD, DVD, Blu-ray and Super Audio CD (SACD) (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/latest/now-announced-pink-floyds-animals-2018-remix-on-multiple-for.html). With a test run on Tuesday night working well, it was full steam ahead for last night as you will be able to see from the short video below. On the first night, there were a variety of different colour projections and chimney colours. If you fancy taking a look yourself, it is running again tonight (Thursday) between 8:30pm – 11pm. With the Battersea Power Station site a lot more open these days, there will be various vantage points you might want to take, but clearly there’s also a good view from across the River Thames as well.
As we head toward the final part of 2022, it’s the time to try and focus on the future with as much positivity as we can in these troubled times, with the Official Pink Floyd 2023 Calendar. It’s a perennial Floyd fan favourite – particularly as a gift at Christmas time. An item which has been produced for many years now, and designed for use hanging on walls, the standardised format is roughly the same size as a vinyl album – roughly 12 (or 30cm) square, with the calendar opening up to have a double page spread per month. The calendar this year is a celebration of the band in its later years, via various images, record sleeves, and suchlike, some of which were newly revealed for The Later Years box set. The images here show all twelve monthly images, along with the front cover. The calendar each year is often squirrelled away as a collectable for the years to come, and earlier examples are now quite sought after.

It is also available to order through the UK based HMV.com (https://store.hmv.com/store/merchandise/calendars/pink-floyd-square-2023-calendar) which at time of typing this, is slightly cheaper than Amazon, although that doesn’t take into account any postage fees which might be due. With HMV, if you have a local store you can collect orders from there, free of charge, so that’s worth considering.
