Further to our recent stories regarding Gerald Scarfe's "The Making
of Pink Floyd: The Wall", including the set of three special video interviews with Gerald, for Brain Damage,
we now have a great competition for you to mark the UK publication this week of the book itself.
"The Making of Pink Floyd: The Wall" is the authorized, definitive book
about the project and includes new commentaries from the surviving
members of Pink Floyd: Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason,
together with the director of the film, Sir Alan Parker. Roger Waters
has written the foreword. The album imagery, stage performances and film
were created in close collaboration with Gerald Scarfe, and his massive
archive includes original storyboards, animation cells, concept
drawings, models and other three-dimensional material together with
photographs of the creation and staging of the live performances and the
filming of The Wall.
Three lucky Brain Damage readers will win their own copy of this book - one of which will be especially signed by Gerald Scarfe himself!
In the book, published by Weidenfeld and Nicholson/Orion Books in the UK, and Da Capo books in North America, Gerald also relates his own experiences of working with the
band from the early days of Wish You Were Here to the Pros and Cons Of
Hitchhiking with Roger Waters, after his break with the other band
members, as well as his work for the new live show of The Wall. Thirty
years after the first live performance was staged, Roger Waters is of
course taking the show back on the road for a multi-city tour of the US
from September 2010 to be followed in the spring of 2011 by a jaunt
around Europe, bringing the album and the band right back into the
headlines.
You can secure your copy of this wonderful book now, saving up to 37%
