Book: “The Dark Side of the Moon” by Pink Floyd is a book designed by Pentagram to high specifications. This official book commemorating the band and the album will be a covetable package for the legions of Floyd fans out there – new and old.

This luxurious book is divided into two parts. The first documents the members of the band between 1972 and 1975, during the making of the album, the album release, and throughout the album tours in the UK, US, Europe, and Japan, in 120 candid black-and white photographs by Storm Thorgerson, Jill Furmanovsky, Aubrey Powell, and Peter Christopherson. A review of the October 1972 Wembley gig by Chris Charlesworth, originally published in Melody Maker, provides insight into one of Floyd’s most celebrated performances.

The second part explores in 60 colour images how Hipgnosis and StormStudios’ original prism motif evolved into an array of graphics and homages to the world’s great artists, some of which went on to grace the band’s future projects.
