The Complete Pink Floyd is an incredible book. It lists every concert, every appearance, every song, everyturn and twist in the amazing story of one of the world's most famous bands. Acknowledged expert GlennPovey first published Echoes in 2006 but since then he has been allowed access to all of the band's AbbeyRoad recording notes (the only person to do so) and the band have announced the release of a new album.
This complete reboot of the original is illustrated with all-new material, including hundreds of photographs andrare memorabilia. Every solo concert has been updated for Waters and Gilmour, and details of the band'smany re-released albums have been added, including never-before-published research into their earliestrecordings from 1965.
The original Echoes was a great book but this full upgrade is it essential reference for any serious Pink Floydfan.
