Pink Floyd: Shine On

The Definitive Oral History

Mark Blake

The definitive oral history of Pink Floyd as told by friends, lovers, family members, and the band themselves through exclusive, never-before-published interviews.

In Pink Floyd: Shine On, acclaimed music writer and band confidant Mark Blake tells the definitive story of Pink Floyd for the first time in their own words.

Based on Mark’s own extensive archive—from talking to the band over a thirty-five year period and including extensive new interviews with band members and associates—the book will consist of much previously unpublished material and include contributions from all five members and their colleagues, friends, lovers, and contemporaries.

Featuring a front cover photograph licensed directly from the band’s long time designers, giving the book an official, authoritative air, this is a fresh, revealing look at this groundbreaking band that opened new directions in pop music.

Among Mark Blake's previous books are Magnifico!: The A to Z of Queen; the bestselling Comfortably Numb: The Inside Story of Pink Floyd; and Bring It On Home: Peter Grant, Led Zeppelin and Beyond, which was listed as a "Music Book of the Year" by The London Times, the Sunday Times, the Daily Mail and the Daily Telegraph. Mark lives in England.
