In 1968, art students Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey “Po” Powell made a trippy photo collage for their musician friends Syd, David and Roger. The resulting album and album cover, A Saucerful of Secrets, helped launch two careers: that of Pink Floyd, one of the 70s megabands, and of Hipgnosis, which, over the course of the next 25 years, designed a stream of iconic album covers.

Pink Floyd: The Story
10.0

Documentary broadcast by the BBC on 15 November 1994, produced at the time of "The Division Bell" tour. Although Roger Waters declined to grant an interview in this programme, the post-Waters era is only briefly mentioned (during the last 2 minutes). The rest is focused on the band's history with Waters. The documentary not only features interviews with all three members of Pink Floyd at the time, but also includes interesting interviews with several people closely related to the band: Andrew King, Joe Boyd, Mike Leonard, Storm Thorgerson, Ron Geesin, Clare Torry , Douglas Adams, and others. It also contains rare archive footage, such as extracts from 1968's "Tomorrow's World" programme and a very original film showing the band recording for the song "Marooned" in David Gilmour's studio-boat, the Astoria, with Bob Ezrin playing bass in this session.

Pink Floyd - P.U.L.S.E. Restored & Re-edited
N/A

This live album consisted of recordings made at various locations on the band’s 1994 European tour. The cassette version included two additional items - One Of These Days, and the pre-show, ambient Soundscape recording, which attendees heard as they waited for the concert to start. The initial versions of the CD edition included a flashing red LED within the cover, designed by EMI contractor Jon Kempner. Nick Mason said of it: "Essentially, it's a device which we thought was entertaining. It's an idea of Storm Thorgerson's which related to Dark Side and the pulse, and it's a live album so the box is ‘alive’. After that, in terms of seriously deep meanings, one might be struggling a bit.” In February 2022 the restored and re-edited version of P.U.L.S.E. was released which saw the return of the flashing red LED to the packaging.
