Since their formation in 1965, they have released 15 studio albums and sold over 250 million records. Their eighth album, Dark Side of the Moon, is one of the highest-selling British albums in the world.  Mike Cormack takes a deep dive into the music of Pink Floyd, resulting in the first serious appraisal of the band's immense achievements, whilst also giving an overview of the UK's concurrent social and political history as seen through the prism of the band. In addition to a song-by-song analysis, Mike also shares exclusive band interviews, a full chronology and gig guide, and a full bootleg guide.  Everything Under the Sun is the definitive account of the career of rock's most devastatingly emotional and articulate band.  AUTHOR: Mike Cormack, originally from Aberdeenshire, has a 12-year media career, mostly focusing on China, where he first arrived in 2007. He is the books editor for thechinaproject.com, the leading website in the English language about China, and is an occasional book reviewer for The Spectator, Times Literary Supplement and South China Morning Post amongst others. He is a life-long, second-generation fan of Pink Floyd, brought up by family members who were (and remain) huge fans. Music is his main passion, where he likes everything from death metal to disco to jazz to Abba.\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN13: 9781837051397\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: New edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication Date: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: The History Press Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication City, Country: Stroud, United Kingdom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions (cm): 23.4(H)x15.6(L)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight (gm): \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMike Cormack is from the north of Scotland and has had a lengthy media career, mostly focusing on China, where he first arrived in 2007, but also writing on politics, music and business.
