Pink Floyd is one of my all time favorite bands, so when I saw this audio book written and narrated by Nick Mason I just had to have it.
Pink Floyd is one of the most creative, successful and enduring bands of all time.
As the only constant member throughout the 40 years of the bands existence, Nick observed every phase of their career from his drum stool, including their time as the darlings of London's late-1960s underground, the deterioration and departure of Syd Barrett, the huge worldwide success of "The Dark Side Of The Moon", one of the bestselling albums ever, the rift with Roger Waters, and the subsequent decision by Nick and David Gilmour to put their reputations on the line and continue as Pink Floyd.
On this audio edition of Inside Out , Nick Mason reads his personal history of Pink Floyd – each chapter linked by his selection of the sound effects that have been such a part of their distinctive sound. In addition to his own memories and research, his account has drawn on the thoughts and reminiscences of key players in the Floyd's saga, which he has updated to include the band's reunion with Roger Waters at the Live 8 concert in Hyde Park in July 2005.

Reviews:
'Anything but a hymn of praise to the mighty Floyd. Mason's drummer's tale is unstintingly and amusingly disrespectful about the band' – The Sunday Times
'As charmingly English as Pimm's and heatstroke on a balmy summer's day' – Q magazine
'Rock's little drummer boy grows up into a sex cymbal. With a wit drier than an AA clinic, and a charm more disarming than a UN peace-keeping force, Nick Mason gives us a literary drum solo par excellence' – Kathy Lette
