""A history of the rock pioneers in the words of its members and those who knew them well. Blake incorporates interviews he has done over the past 35 years with the band's members and associates. They provide fascinating insight into the band's early days. Floating like an angel above the book is Barrett, whose legacy Blake honors beautifully. Pink Floyd fans will love this tribute, as should anyone with an interest in rock history.""--Kirkus Reviews
