Product Description
A must for any serious fan, this book traces the early work of the Pink Floyd from when they had recently formed to the beginnings of their epochal work "The Dark Side Of The Moon," including the solo history of their first enigmatic leader Syd Barrett. An archetypal labor of love, the chronology is a high quality, definitive history of the day-to-day work of the band.

A great book covering Floyd's best period November 8, 2006

This book is absolutely essential if you think Floyd were at their peak during their 1966-1971 period. It gives some really good background information on things that happened during that period and goes into a lengthy analysis of Floyd's "The Man & The Journey", which is an essential, if little known piece of Floyd history. The book also opens with a note from the authors that perfectly describes why they limited the book to the 66-71 period.
This book is really geared towards the people that collect live Floyd recordings, as it gives times and setlists for known recordings. In this regard, it is the best Floyd book I've seen. However, this really should be a companion piece to the monster "Pink Floyd: In The Flesh" by Glenn Povey and Ian Russell. The latter cannot be beat for having the most complete listings of setlists for Floyd, but it offers no commentary on these performances, nor does it give the reader any indication if recordings of a given show exist or length of tracks or recordings. Embryo does, but it does not usually give setlists for shows with no known recordings. As a result, you need both books to have a complete picture. That said, both books are slightly old and missing newly surfaced information. Though I think "In The Flesh" is being given an overhaul, I don't think there are any plans to update Embryo.
