Book Description

Publication Date: 1 Mar 2007
From gigs in tiny church halls in the mid-sixties to
multi-million selling albums and spectacular stadium shows all around the
world, the Pink Floyd story in a rock legend.

This remarkable book is a celebration of Pink Floyd's entire career - 2007
marks the official 40th anniversary since they started recording. It
contains a biographical account of the band's collective and individual
careers from their pre-Floyd origins in 1962 right through to the present
day.

Echoes also combines, for the very first time, a meticulously researched
chronological listing of every single Pink Floyd and solo concert, set
list, TV and radio appearance plus a UK and US discography.

Illustrated throughout with a wealth of rare and previously unpublished
photographs as well as rare graphic memorabilia, including posters,
advertisements, handbills and tickets from every era of the band's
remarkable history, it is, quite simply, the most comprehensive account of
Pink Floyd in print.

Product Description

About the Author

Glenn Povey was the founder of the highly regarded Pink Floyd
fan-magazine Brain Damage which he edited between 1985 and 1993. He was
responsible for launching the career of the Australian Pink Floyd Show, a
band he subsequently managed for two years following their debut UK show at
the first International Pink Floyd Fan-Convention, an event he organised at
Wembley Stadium Conference Centre in 1993.

Since then Glenn has worked in the music industry as a booking agent and
promoter for a variety of artists including The Electric Prunes, Caravan,
Hawkwind, Hugh Cornwell, Gong, Magma, Ozric Tentacles, Porcupine Tree, The
Pretty Things and The Seeds. He also promoted the Canterbury Fayre rock
festival, headlined in its fourth and final year by Roy Harper and Robert
Plant.

In 2002 he successfully re-launched the career of the legendary rock icon
Arthur Lee and, acting in a management capacity, toured with his band Love
across the world for three years.

An incurable Pink Floyd fan this is now his second book on the subject,
having written, compiled and co-researched Pink Floyd: In The Flesh in
1997. He has also written extensively on the band for a variety of music
magazines including Mojo and Record Collector.

5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive encyclopedia of knowledge 10 Jun 2007
By Simon Ash
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have long been a Pink Floyd fan and this book is a work of art. It is both beautiful in design and accurate in its detail on the band. I strongly recommend it as a fantastic factual reference book. Even if you don't read it, buy it for the pictures. If you love this band, buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The worst band ever to play in Cornwall, apparently. 10 May 2010
By Mr. S. Gale
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Awesome book. You can follow the history of the band through their gigs and recording sessions,from the local pubs all the way to Live 8. Meticulously researched from a true fan in Glenn Povey. An interesting observation is that before Dark Side of the Moon they were gigging constantly in the UK. Afterwards they hardly played in the UK again. Just the odd Arena gig to promote an album release. The articles from the local press on the gigs are fascinating too. One particular gig in Redruth in 1967 prompted one member of the audience to write to the Melody Maker and warn potential goers not to bother- 'The worst band ever to play in Cornwall! ' ;-) Unputdownable.
