Pink Floyd: More Gritty, Less Giddy
Alan Betrock, Circus, October 1975
IT HAS BEEN over two-and-a-half years since the release of Pink Floyd's last album, Dark Side Of The Moon, and yet the hit LP is still a steady seller in the thick of the chart action. With that album, the band's heretofore modest following swelled with so many new recruits that what had been a regiment of diehards was suddenly an army of fans.
