Inside out : a personal history of Pink Floyd
"Inside Out marks the first time that a member of Pink Floyd has written his personal take on the band's history." "As the only member of the Floyd to have been part of the band throughout nearly 40 years of existence, Nick has been able to observe every phase of the band from his drum stool, including their time as the darlings of London's late-1960s underground; the deterioration and departure of Syd Barrett; the creation of what is now recognised as the classic Floyd sound; the huge worldwide success of The Dark Side of The Moon; the mounting pressures and problems within the band; the rift with Roger Waters; and the subsequent decision by Nick and David Gilmour to put their reputations on the line and continue as Pink Floyd." "In addition to his own memories and research, Nick's account of life with one of the most brilliant and imaginative bands ever has drawn on the thoughts and reminiscences of key players in the Floyd story. The book also makes use of his extensive archive which contains many extremely rare photographs and graphics reproduced here for the first time. The story is rounded off with Nick's own version of the band's chronology."--Jacket
