Alan Parsons talks recording including The Beatles and Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side Of The Moon

New book: Everything Under the Sun: The Complete Guide to Pink Floyd
To be published at the end of next month, on August 29th 2024, is a new book, written by Mike Cormack, from The History Press publishers. Everything Under the Sun: The Complete Guide to Pink Floyd promises a comprehensive look at the band. The publishers told us that “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”. They continued: “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”. It certainly sounds an interesting proposition, and as I’m regularly consulting numerous sources for Floyd information, if this book can reduce what I need to reach for on a daily basis that’s definitely welcomed!
