Annotation

Music writer and broadcaster John Cavanagh was born in the year Pink Floyd released their debut album, considered by some to be their masterpiece, PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN. He first heard the album in the late 1970s, when it transported him from a world dominated by Abba and the Eagles to a time when, as he writes, "everything seemed possible." His infectious enthusiasm for PIPER and for the period in which it was recorded drives the narrative of this critical assessment, which, as with the rest of the volumes in the 33 1/3 series, features track-by-track analysis as well as fascinating breakdowns of the recording techniques used by the band. The slim volume is also crammed with reminiscences from some of the major players on the mid-'60s British underground scene, such as John Hopkinson, Syd Barrett's roommate Duggie Fields, and Floyd drummer Nick Mason. Intriguingly (and frustratingly, since it's not commonly available), Cavanagh favors the mono mix of the album over the more common stereo version; his descriptions of the band's interplay are the best kind of music criticism, the kind that enables you to listen to the music as if hearing it again for the first time.
