October 3, 2021 Pink Floyd became one of the most notable bands in the world in their heyday, for their music. But in the book PINK FLOYD IN OBJECTS, author Glenn Povey cites 100 objects that are key pieces to their popularity.
The very first item is a Those Without ticket that allowed people to get into Bo Siddley’s Perverted Beach Party. Those Without was a band that Pink Floyd member Syd Barrett joined in 1964. He was only with them a short time before heading on to bigger and better things.
A Joker’s Wild business is also noted here. That is the band David Gilmour was associated with before his Pink Floyd tenure. The band was popular on the Cambridge scene. They even traveled extensively to the French Riviera.
Another object is the promotional single and postcard in Pink Floyd’s early single, Point Me To The Sky. It was recorded while they were working on album two, A Saucerful Of Secrets. That single ironically did not chart at all.
Other items of note include Roger Water’s Precision bass guitar, the vocal chart for Atom Heart Mother, Relic album sleeve, the mirror ball used in many of their concerts in the 1970’s, their British winter tour 1974 bootleg album, and their Montreal concert poster from 1977.
Each object truly tells a story, and while some may be more obscure than others, are an important part of the pre Pink Floyd and post Pink Floyd career.

Awesome, if you're a Floyd's fan or just a person interested in contemporary art.
