“Reinventing Pink Floyd” publishing in February

Posted December 19, 2017 by Floydian Slip

Rowman and Littlefield will publish “Reinventing Pink Floyd: From Syd Barrett to the Dark Side of the Moon” on Feb. 15.

The 200-page book by Bill Kopp focuses on the challenges Floyd faced to re-brand itself following the departure of its founder, Syd Barrett, in the late-’60s.

Kopp is a music writer whose work has appeared in dozens of periodicals and album sleeves. “Floydian Slip” host Craig Bailey was one of many people Kopp interviewed for this book.

Humble Pie drummer Jerry Shirley, who played on Barrett’s solo albums, wrote the book’s foreword.

“Reinventing Pink Floyd” will be available in hardcover and as an e-book for $35 and $33, respectively.
