Ep. 31 - From Underground to Icons: Ed Paule’s new book, Pink Floyd 1967
2025-09-21 92 min Ian Priston / Phil Salathé
In this episode of the Fingal’s Cave Podcast, hosts Ian Priston and Phil Salathé sit down with author and archivist Ed Paule to explore his landmark book Pink Floyd 1967 - a meticulous, month-by-month chronicle of the band’s breakthrough year, shortly before its publication.
From their early days in London’s underground clubs to their leap into the international spotlight, Ed’s research uncovers how every gig, press clipping, and recording session shaped the rise of one of the most influential bands in history.
The conversation takes listeners into the archives, revealing long-forgotten gig listings, rare photographs, and quirky press interviews that paint a vivid picture of the band.
Ed shares stories of meticulous detective work, surprising discoveries, and collaborations with other Floyd historians that helped him crack mysteries fans have puzzled over for decades - like the possible origins of Vegetable Man,” the phantom track Stoolfix, and the exact dates of elusive gigs.
Whether you are a lifelong collector or just beginning to explore the early days of Pink Floyd, this episode offers a fascinating deep dive into the year that defined their sound, their image, and their enduring legacy.
Pink Floyd 1967 is available now at https://www.floydstuff.com/the-bee-smart-book-co, limited to 450 copies.
