| I have both books. I bought and read "Saucerful" in 91 as soon as it hit the bookstore, so it's been awhile. I thought it was very interesting and informative. At the time, I knew little about the early years with Syd and all, so that was a big help putting together the pieces of that puzzle. I thought Schaffner was very evenhanded with the riff between Rog and Dave, maybe being slightly bias toward Dave. (As I am also). The other book, "Another Brick......" by Cliff Jones, I've just used for reference, not reading it from cover to cover. It seems pretty well-done, but I've heard some murmuring about inaccurate info, and I myself found one error....The statement that Roger's dad was in the RAF Bomber Command, which he wasn't. I also have a book by Jason Rich simply called "Pink Floyd." It's the size of a CD and is one of a series covering a couple dozen popular artists. It's good. Finally, I have most of the "The Amazing Pudding" Fanzine issues that were published from about 1983 to 1993. Those are a wealth of info. If anyone has a chance to get 'em, do it. |

| I ran across an issue in a music store. I then subscribed to it until it folded in 1993. Meanwhile, I had bought all the back issues I could get. One of the editors of T.A.P., Bruno MacDonald, has a book out now which is probably a condensation of all those (60) issues. It's called: "Pink Floyd--Thru the eyes of the Band, it's fans, Friends & foes." I'll probably get it. |
