Hot on the heels of yesterday's news about Glenn Povey's forthcoming book, 'Pink Floyd: Giants of Rock', we have information about Glenn's other publication from Carlton Books due out on the same day (March 3rd) which is called 'The Complete Pink Floyd' (with the additional advice of it being 'The Ultimate Reference', elsewhere on the cover).
Becoming quite the prolific author, Glenn is of course the founder of the original Brain Damage magazine, which lead to this website in 1999. His books 'In The Flesh', revised as 'Echoes', have been truly essential reference works and this major revision to 'Echoes' promises to be the cornerstone to every Floydian book collection.
We're hoping to bring you a review of the book soon, but here's a taster of what to expect from the publishers: "The Complete Pink Floyd...lists every concert, every appearance, every song, every turn and twist in the amazing story of one of the world's most famous bands. Acknowledged expert Glenn Povey...has been allowed access to all of the band's Abbey Road recording notes (the only person to do so). This complete reboot of the original is illustrated with all-new material, including hundreds of photographs and rare memorabilia. Every solo concert has been updated for Waters and Gilmour, and details of the band's many re-released albums have been added, including never-before-published research into their earliest recordings from 1965. The original Echoes was a great book but this full upgrade is it essential reference for any serious Pink Floyd fan."
We've a feeling that 'The Complete Pink Floyd' will become an almost daily reference for us, and with Glenn's past record and credentials, we're sure it's going to be a popular book.
