About this product
Product Information
Selling over forty-five million copies, The Dark Side of the Moon topped the US Billboard charts when it was first released in 1973 and took up residence there for over 700 weeks. Lunacy delves into the making of this iconic record and why it continues to speak to generation after generation of music lovers around the world. Music biographer John Kruth starts with Pink Floyd's band history, leading up to the creation of their masterpiece and exploring what inspired the "sonic stew" of styles-a mixture of avant-garde electronic, jazz, and classical music all contributed to the timeless album. With interviews of musicians, artists, DJs, and fans, Kruth gets to the heart of the lasting importance of The Dark Side of the Moon. Lunacy also looks at Pink Floyd after the departure of the band's original leader and visionary songwriter Syd Barrett. Pink Floyd became a rudderless ship and released a series of nebulous (yet highly enjoyable) jam albums and went on tours that almost bankrupted them. Their eighth album was a make it or break it proposition, and it's timing could not have been better.

Reviews
"Takes you deeper inside the creation of this enigmatic work and its cultural reverberations that have echoed across the decades John Kruth sets the stage nicely, with a concise summary of the band's story before digging into the album track by track."--Grammy.com, "Lunacy is a standard-bearing rock-album vivisection for anyone interested in how a work of art can capture the zeitgeist, deservedly or not." --Nell Beram, author and freelance writer, Shelf Awareness, Kruth is a well-studied music historian whose writing skills are mellifluous.--Al Kooper Magical . . . John Kruth is a fantastic writer!--Jim Jarmusch, Singer/songwriter/music journalist Kruth (A Friend of the Devil) examines both Pink Floyd's development as a band and their iconic 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon, which he analyzes track by track. He also takes interesting side trips into somewhat related territory, such as an interview with Delaware State University astrophysicist Matthew Bobrowsky about the moon itself. Kruth grounds Pink Floyd's endeavors in the British blues explosion, the onset of widespread use of electronic sounds, psychedelic rock's appearance, and the surprisingly long history of the concept album. Copious quotes from the band members, whose personalities come across clearly, as well as remarks from contemporary musicians set the narrative. Since Pink Floyd used the same Abbey Road studios as the Beatles, whom the musicians acknowledged as influential, readers will see two vastly different paths music took in the 1960s and 1970s. A playlist, bibliography, and index are useful addenda. For fans of The Dark Side of the Moon, this book is especially welcome. Those not familiar with Pink Floyd or this particular venture will still likely appreciate the well-researched and swiftly flowing tale that combines musical intricacies with cultural context.

I delayed in responding, because we didn’t have an opportunity to view it until yesterday (2.15.2024). The item was as described, new, and packaged as such. Upon viewing the video, we had no issues. The video was fairly priced, and I wish we would have received it sooner, but, I can’t complain because shipping was free. Nonetheless, I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again

The item I purchased was a Hasbro collectibles/Star Wars vintage collection the Mandalorian/ET – ST . Once again, there was no communication. The item arrived packed well, with nothing broken. Yeah I didn’t arrive that advertised. The problem with eBay live is you need to know what you’re doing before you put a bid in on anything. If you’re going to buy something know what it’s going to cost you . Because it says $71 on the screen it’s gonna cost you almost $90. I paid too much for this too. Ver
