Post Discussing Anew On Pink Floyd and related..

I've been following the development of the topic of discussion at Wikipedia.Though there have been substantial proof of links to Pink Floyd's Music,Band Members,Artworks,Lyrics etc. yet it might benefit with a little help from all the members here.
Does anyone know anything about Vic Singh who has been credited for the cover photo of the band on The Pipers At The Gates Of Dawn? Sample this:In fact, Thorgerson was involved in all the artwork for every album except The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, the front cover of which was a photograph by Vic Singh and the back cover a drawing by Barrett; The Wall, for which the band employed Gerald Scarfe; and The Final Cut, the cover of which was designed by Waters himself, using photography made by his then brother-in-law, Willie Christie. ====
The LP (with a monaural mix) was released on August 5, 1967. It reached #6 on the UK charts, and its US version (entitled simply Pink Floyd and featuring a re-arranged and abbreviated tracklisting) reached #131 on the US charts. "See Emily Play" substituted "Astronomy Domine", "Flaming" and "Bike" on the original US vinyl issue. The CD was first released in 1987, and re-released with a digitally re-mastered stereophonic re-mix in 1994. Three years later, EMI released a re-mastered, limited-run mono mix version in a hefty digipak with 3-D box art. As the album was intended as monaural, this version is reputed to be more faithful to the original than the highly gimmicky stereo mix.
