The newest addition to the best-selling All the Songs series
details the unique recording history of Pink Floyd, one of the
world's most commercially successful and influential rock bands.
Since 1965, Pink Floyd been recording sonically experimental and
philosophical music, selling more than 250 million records
worldwide, including two of the best-selling albums of all time
Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall. While much is known about this
iconic group, few books provide a comprehensive history of their
time in the studio. In Pink Floyd All the Songs, authors Margotin
and Guesdon describe the origin of their nearly 200 released songs,
details from the recording studio, what instruments were used, and
behind-the-scenes stories of the tensions that helped drive the
band. Organized chronologically by album, this massive, 544-page
hardcover begins with their 1967 debut album The Piper at the Gates
of Dawn, the only one recorded under founding member Syd Barrett's
leadership; through the loss of Barrett and the addition of David
Gilmour; to Richard Wright leaving the band in 1979 but returning;
to Roger Waters leaving in 1985 and the albums recorded since his
departure, including their 2014 farewell album, The Endless River,
which was downloaded 12 million times on Spotify the week it was
released. Packed with more than 500 photos, All the Songs is also
filled with stories fans treasure, such as Waters working with
engineer Alan Parsons to employ revolutionary recording techniques
for The Dark Side of the Moon at Abbey Road Studios in 1972 or
producer Bob's Ezrin's contribution in refining Water's original
sprawling vision for The Wall.
