Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon: 50th Anniversary Remaster (CD)

Read "The Dark Side of the Moon: 50th Anniversary Remaster (CD)" reviewed by Doug Collette


Following by roughly seven months the release of a mammoth box set issued in recognition of the 50th anniversary of The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd, the standalone (CD, vinyl and Blu-ray) remasters of the iconic group's eighth studio album are testament to the loyalty of the fanbase (not to mention the mercenary nature of staggered releases). And yet hearing the album with the benefit of hindsight, it's difficult to know what to make of ...

Read "The Later Years: 1987-2019" reviewed by John Kelman


On January 10, 1994, Pink Floyd announced its upcoming North American tour in support of what would be its second studio album following the 1984 departure of bassist and band co-founder Roger Waters, The Division Bell (Columbia/EMI), a little more than two months before its release on March 28 of the same year. The first of two 196 foot-long, 67-foot high, 7,000 pound (without the helium) painted airships made a record-breaking, three-week trip from North Carolina to Los Angeles, with ...

Pink Floyd: Obfusc/ation

Read "Obfusc/ation" reviewed by Doug Collette


Lavishly designed and annotated packages on the order of Pink Floyd's The Early Years (Sony-Legacy, 2016) would be meaningless if the enclosures didn't so warrant the concepts. But the fact of the matter is content on the high order of Obfusc/ation 1972 demands treatment comparable to a precious books in an extensive library. The set, one of six now available separately after being originally released as part of a set, stands on its own terms as a piece of history ...

Hipgnosis Portraits

Read "Hipgnosis Portraits" reviewed by Nenad Georgievski


Hipgnosis Portraits Aubrey Powell 288 pages ISBN: 0500517630 Thames & Hudson 2014 When I was a kid I used to regularly search through my uncle's vinyl collection and there was one particular photograph that continuously arrested my attention and imagination -the inner sleeves of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. (Harvest, 1975) The photograph of two people shaking hands while the other one of them was in flames was very fascinating and ...

Rock Covers Jon Kirby, Robbie Busch 552 pages ISBN: 978-3836545259 Taschen 2014 Most common opinion is that fine art is something that can be found adorning the walls of galleries, studios or museums. But one of the most unusual places where interesting, engaging and groundbreaking art can be found is on various album covers. Many visual artists, throughout the years and regardless of genre, have created visual artworks for various ...
