Book of classic rock art features Pink Floyd

Posted November 29, 2009 by Floydian Slip

Goodman Books has published “The Art of Classic Rock,” a coffee table book by Paul Grushkin and Rob Roth.

The 256-page (5½-pound!) hardcover tome is a visual document of Roth’s 35-year collection of rock tour and advertising posters, merchandise, memorabilia and other artwork.

The book focuses on eight bands. The second chapter — 34 pages — is devoted to Pink Floyd.

Beautifully photographed and designed, the majority of the space on each page is filled with large, color reproductions of band memorabilia, with Grushkin’s narrative filling the spaces inbetween.

Grushkin is a leading rock historian and author of five books. Roth is a Tony-nominated Broadway director.

Other bands featured in the book are:

  • The Rolling Stones
  • The Who
  • Led Zeppelin
  • David Bowie
  • Alice Cooper
  • Elton John
  • Queen

“The Art of Classic Rock” retails for £30. Buy it now online. Your purchase helps support “Floydian Slip.”
