The book will not be available to purchase elsewhere, so this will be the only place you’ll be able to get a copy. Shown here is the cover of the book, along with some examples of pictures from within its pages. Click the thumbnails to see the images in greater detail. The pictures show, in clockwise order: the cover, the band in 1970 on stage, Roger Waters in 1977 during the Floyd’s In The Flesh tour, and Richard Wright from 1972.
Passion for Speed (http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/books/passion-for-speed-nick-mason-and-mark-hales-2.html), is worth checking out, as is the DVD of the same name (http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/dvds-and-videos/passion-for-speed-ferrari-enzo-dvd-nick-mason-and-mark-2.html) focusing on his Ferrari Enzo car (with Nick heavily involved). Of course, for those who haven’t read it, Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd (http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/books/inside-out-2011-edition-updated-paperback-nick-mason-2.html) is an absolute essential read, and available in a variety of editions: hardback, softback (paperback) and an audiobook, which is read by Nick himself… Nick has contributed to a number of magazines on motoring issues over the years (including a fascinating monthly column in Octane Magazine), and also became president of the Guild of Motoring Writers. He is a trustee of the Beaulieu National Motor Museum, and a life member and Guardian of the BRDC (British Racing Drivers Club). He has been involved in motor racing since the early 1970s and has entered Le Mans five times. Musically, of course, the big news recently was the launch of his new band, Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets. The four initial, small gigs in May 2018 held in London lead to a very successful and critically acclaimed European tour in September. Last year, of course, the tour continued with dates in the US, Canada, and more dates in the UK and Europe. 2020 sees more UK and European shows, and hopefully the release of the London Roundhouse concert filmed last year! Many happy returns, Nick, and see you on the road!
Back with a dreamy bedroom pop track, Mojo JNR contemplates on unwarranted anxiety and holistic healing in ‘Peach Out’. Two months ago, fellow Turtle Tempo writer Marnie sung the praises of Mojo JNR’s debut release ‘Miles Away’ – and now I’m here to repeat some history. Like its predecessor, ‘Peach Out’ is an elegant brew of mellow …
“50 years of The Dark Side of the Moon” (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001jztg) will see Walker marking the golden anniversary of this landmark Pink Floyd album, which is released in a deluxe box set in a few days time (on Friday, 24th March) with an accompanying official book within the box and sold separately (including our special and very limited edition book and print set exclusive). In the almost two hour special, Walker will revisit his own archive interviews with the band, and there’s a new chat with Pink Floyd expert and writer Mark Blake. As we’ve mentioned elsewhere on this site, Blake’s fascinating and revelatory new book Us & Them charts the career of the Hipgnosis team, Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey Powell, who created the iconic cover for the album and many other classic album artworks. The show will be live on BBC Radio 2, which is available on a variety of platforms, from 3pm UK time today, and after broadcast, on demand (hopefully worldwide) at this direct link at BBC.co.uk (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001jztg). Our thanks to Rob Sadler for the tip-off about this programme airing today!
