Pink Floyd Doc on BBC1 - 12th December

Forty years after Britain's foremost underground band released their debut album Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Pink Floyd remain one of the biggest brand names and best-loved bands in the world.

This film features extended archive footage, some of it rarely or never seen, alongside original interviews with the four surviving members of Pink Floyd - David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Richard Wright and Nick Mason - and traces the journey of a band that has only ever had five members, three of whom have lead the band at different stages of its evolution.

The program is broadcast on BBC 1 in England on Wednesday 12th December between 10:45pm GMT and 11:45pm GMT.

Storm Thorgerson Mind Over Matter V4.0

Mind Over Matter, published to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Pink Floyd (whose first album, The Piper At The Gates of Dawn, was released in 1967) and a Pink Floyd artwork *exhibition, is a visual feast celebrating Pink Floyd’s best album covers and artwork.

Nearly all of the images which have embodied the music of Pink Floyd are here including such graphic icons as The Dark Side Of The Moon, Atom Heart Mother, Wish You Were Here and The Division Bell. These designs are some of the most powerful in contemporary graphics and represent the very best of innovative photography and computer manipulation.

This fourth updated edition of Mind Over Matter contains 50 new additional pages, features Pink Floyd’s most recent album covers, posters, DVDs, single bags, T shirts, adverts etc and has a new cover specially designed for the occasion which was photographed with great difficulty in the remote wilds of Utah.

Storm Thorgerson’s text describes in witty detail the genesis and production of all the designs.
