BBC4 TV recently re-broadcast some rare footage of Pink Floyd performing “Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun” from 1968 on the program “All My Loving” which was re-broadcast recently as part of the “Summer In The 60s” series of programming.

The book will feature a Storm Thorgerson designed cover, which has a huge chair with graphics associated with Pink Floyd all over it.

The book will be released on 9th September 2004. The book was due for release in 1995 but...

James Guthrie recalled [according to Brain Damage] “Floyd’s manager Steve O’Rourke was the executive producer, and it was all put together for television, but although fascinating to watch, it never saw the light of day. In the archives, there are multitracks and video footage of the whole show, none of which have ever been released”.   UPDATE: Press Release It was August 1980, at Earls Court, when cameras recorded the frenetic operation of the entire load-in process. One editor, working alone for six months, was able to create this ‘behind-the-scenes’ documentary. The...
