Ron Geesin's 'The Flaming Cow: The Making of Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother' has been getting very positive feedback from all aspects of the Floyd community. The book gives Ron's own perspective on the project, and it really is a fantastic read!
From Nick Mason's amusing foreword, through the story of how Ron got to
know the various members of the Floyd, to co-composing and recording the
piece variously known as Epic and The Amazing Pudding, before settling
on the title we all know and love, the book reveals all with a great wit
and honesty, along with masses of previously unseen photos from the recording sessions.
Check out our review here, which also includes ordering information. For those who prefer the convenience of reading on their Apple iThings, the eBook version is now available to purchase and download from the iTunes Bookstore. There are enhancements and extras over the print edition - principally, you can see Ron answering questions submitted by Brain Damage visitors about Atom Heart Mother, in a fascinating two-part video Q&A session.
