Re: Will The Real Pink Floyd Please Tour!

They've always had creative freedom as Pink Floyd!


For the most part, I'm sure this is an absolute, but there is an interesting twist to this, as described in Nicholas Schaffner's 'Odyssey' book, where in the early stages of production for AMLOR, Gilmour was 'read the riot act' by a CBS minion. It seemed that the record company was less than convinced that the music being recorded 'sounded like Pink Floyd', and legend has it that some material was sent to the panel beaters for a touch-up. So much for creative freedom (in this instance).
