Pink Floyd achieved success in London's underground music scene, led by the singer and guitarist Syd Barrett.[5] They signed a management deal with Peter Jenner and Andrew King (Blackhill Enterprises) in October 1966,[6] and recorded a demo shortly afterwards to attract record label interest.[7] In 1967, they signed with EMI Columbia and released their first single, "Arnold Layne",[8] followed by the album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.[9]
Barrett left following mental health problems in 1968, and was replaced by the singer and guitarist David Gilmour. Both appear on Pink Floyd's second album, A Saucerful of Secrets,[10] the first of several to feature cover artwork by Hipgnosis.[11] In 1969, Pink Floyd released a soundtrack album, More, and a combined live and studio album, Ummagumma.[12] Atom Heart Mother (1970) was a collaboration with Ron Geesin, featuring an orchestra and choir.[13] Meddle and the Obscured by Clouds soundtrack followed in 1971 and 1972.[14][15]
Pink Floyd's eighth album, The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), sold more than 30 million copies and is one of the best-selling albums of all time.[16][17] It has been reissued as a Quadrophonic LP and 5.1 surround sound Super Audio CD.[18] The Dark Side of the Moon was followed by Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), and The Wall (1979); all except Animals reached number one in the US, and The Wall is the highest-certified multiple-disc album by the Recording Industry Association of America.[19][20] Pink Floyd released few singles after Barrett's departure, though "Money" was a US top-20 hit, and "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" reached number one in the UK and US.[21]
The bassist and singer Roger Waters became Pink Floyd's dominant force from the mid-1970s. He departed in 1985, declaring Pink Floyd "a spent force",[1] and unsuccessfully sued to dissolve their partnership and retire the name.[22] The remaining members, led by Gilmour, continued recording and touring as Pink Floyd, releasing A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987), The Division Bell (1994)[23][24] and The Endless River (2014).[25]
In 2010, Pink Floyd sued EMI for unpaid royalties payments and for publishing their back catalogue on streaming services without their consent. A settlement was reached the following year, with the publication of the individual tracks on iTunes, and re-releases of The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and The Wall.[26] In 2016, Pink Floyd established a record label, Pink Floyd Records, and launched an extensive reissue programme of their work on vinyl and CD, and a box set The Early Years 1965–1972 containing a significant amount of previously unreleased material.[27][28] In 2022, they released a one-off single, "Hey, Hey, Rise Up!", featuring the Ukrainian artist Andriy Khlyvnyuk, in protest of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.[29]
Artwork
editMost Pink Floyd covers do not feature the band members, and many do not feature the band name or any text.[30] Waters recommended Hipgnosis for A Saucerful of Secrets' cover, for which they were paid £110, and they went on to create many of the group's album packages.[11] Ummagumma was the last to feature the group on the front cover, with a Droste effect created by multiple photographs, and a breakdown of their musical equipment on the back.[12] Atom Heart Mother features a Friesian cow (named Lulubelle III) on the front cover, deliberately chosen as a reaction against the group's psychedelic image.[13]
The cover of The Dark Side of the Moon was designed by Hipgnosis in collaboration with graphic designer George Hardie, and features a line drawing of light being refracted in a prism. The inner sleeve shows the graphic of a heartbeat, which can be heard at the start of the album. The original packaging also included additional posters and stickers. It has become one of the most recognisable rock album covers.[31][32] The cover of Animals features an inflatable pig moored to Battersea Power Station that broke free and drifted into airspace.[33] The Wall features a minimalist design on the front cover, while the inside sleeve shows cartoons of the principal characters in the story, both created by Gerald Scarfe.[34] Hipgnosis' Storm Thorgerson returned to produce the cover for A Momentary Lapse of Reason, which featured a row of beds on Saunton Sands.[35][36] For The Division Bell, he photographed two 3-metre (9.8 ft) high heads in style of Aku-Aku in a field near Ely, Cambridgeshire.[37]
The CD packaging of the live album Pulse included a light-emitting diode on the spine, powered by batteries. This gave a visual "pulse" when the CD was stored on a shelf, with the battery expected to last up to a year.[38] The compilation Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd features a composite piece of artwork created by Hipgnosis combining several past album covers.[39]
