{"product_id":"flaming-cow","title":"Flaming Cow","description":"\u003cb\u003eAn updated edition celebrating more than 50 years of the ground-breaking \u003ci\u003eAtom Heart Mother\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e By the late 1960s, popular British prog-rock outfit Pink Floyd were experiencing a creative voltage drop, so they turned to composer Ron Geesin for help in writing their next album.\u003ci\u003e The Flaming Cow\u003c\/i\u003e offers a rare insight into the brilliant but often fraught collaboration between the band and Geesin, the result of which became known as \u003ci\u003eAtom Heart Mother \u003c\/i\u003e– the title track from the Floyd’s first UK number one album. From the time drummer Nick Mason visited Geesin’s damp basement flat in Notting Hill, to the last game of golf between bassist Roger Waters and Geesin, this book is an unflinching account about how one of Pink Floyd’s most celebrated compositions came to life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Alongside unpublished photographs from the Abbey Road recording sessions (the only ones taken) and the subsequent performances in London and Paris, Geesin goes on to describe how the title was chosen, why he was not credited on the record, how he left Hyde Park in tears, and why the group did not much like the work. The Flaming Cow rose again, firstly in France, then in London in 2008. After 50 years \u003ci\u003eAtom Heart Mother\u003c\/i\u003e remains a much-loved record, and \u003ci\u003eThe Flaming Cow\u003c\/i\u003e explores its new-found cult status that has led to it being studied for the French Baccalauréat.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57340179939710,"sku":"NW9780750995740","price":14.23,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780750995740.jpg?v=1778699612","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/flaming-cow","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
