Pink Floyd: Games For May
Miles, NME, 15 May 1976
TEN YEARS AGO THE PINK FLOYD were a semi formed idea in the mind of one SYD BARRETT. Nine years ago they were the darlings of the Flower Punks and playing games for May at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. Three weeks ago, MILES dusted off his archives and went in depth into that era of hysteria and hallucinogenics and how the Floyd threaded their way through the paisley wasteland to MAKE GOOD.
