Pink Floyd Vinyl & Band History FAQs
Where is Pink Floyd from?
Pink Floyd was formed in London, England in 1964.
What does Pink Floyd mean? How did Pink Floyd get their name?
Original founder and frontman Syd Barrett came up with Pink Floyd in the spur of the moment before a gig in 1965, named after two Piedmont blues albums that Barrett had in his collection, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.
When did David Gilmour join Pink Floyd?
David Gilmour joined Pink Floyd in December 1967.
Why did Pink Floyd break up?
Well, it's a little complicated. Like many ends to creative endeavors, the various departures of band members was due to monetary and creative disagreements. There were a few different endings to Pink Floyd over its lifetime. Nick Mason, the band's drummer, remains the only constant member since Pink Floyd's formation in 1965. Original founder and frontman Syd Barrett left the band in 1968 due to deteriorating health and never returned. Richard Wright left in 1979, and Roger Waters departed in 1985. David Gilmour remained, added members, and released three more albums under the name of Pink Floyd until the end of 1994.
Eventually, all members of the band — besides Barrett — reunited in 2005 for the Live 8 concert in Hyde Park, London. Following the deaths of Barrett in 2006 and Wright in 2008, Gilmour and Mason used old recordings from Wright's Division Bell sessions to create a new Pink Floyd album called The Endless River that would eventually release in 2014. Waters was not involved.
Mason told Rolling Stone in 2018 that Pink Floyd was "done," and that he remained close with both Waters and Gilmour, but in regards to their relationship, "it’s really disappointing that these rather elderly gentlemen are still at loggerheads." See what we mean? A bit complicated.
Why and when did Roger Waters leave Pink Floyd?
Great question. Roger Waters and David Gilmour existed in a creative power struggle since pretty much the beginning of the band in the 60s. Waters left the band in 1985 among creative differences. In short, Waters believed that Pink Floyd had run its course creatively; meanwhile, Gilmour and Mason believed otherwise. This led to an ugly lawsuit between Waters and Pink Floyd, eventually freeing Waters from the band's obligations. Meanwhile the group was able to continue, releasing three more studio albums — A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987), The Division Bell (1994) and The Endless River (2014) — under the moniker of Pink Floyd. Waters would eventually say in interviews that he regretted how ugly things got around his departure.
How expensive is the most expensive Pink Floyd vinyl?
When it comes to vinyl records, Pink Floyd is continually one of the best selling bands. There's no exact reason as to why; probably a combination of name recognition, quality of music, and quantity of work produced. Anecdotally, if you think about it, how many times have you come across a Pink Floyd album while flipping through records at a shop? Roughly... a billion? In other words, this stuff is everywhere.
Because of this omnipresence, that means the original and rare LP pressings are all the more valuable. Pink Floyd albums have sold for ridiculous amounts of money over the years. Back in 2018, a Japanese promo copy of Ummagumma sold for $13,953.
Nowadays, the listing prices ebb and flow. A pressing for Pink Floyd's "Arnold Layne / Candy And A Currant Bun," the band's first single and b-side, is currently listed for roughly $22,500. In terms of LPs, an original vinyl pressing of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here is listed for $10,000.
In short, the most expensive Pink Floyd vinyl can be quite expensive.
