From BBC site :
"In the first of a special series of Johnnie Walker's Long Players, to celebrate
Radio 2's 50th Birthday, we feature a key album and the singles that surrounded
it in 1967.
It's an innovative, exciting and acclaimed debut
from one of the greatest bands in the world. This was the start of a road which
took them to sales of more than 200 million (and still counting today) across
the world.
The friends, who came together just across the road
from BBC Broadcasting House at the Regent Street Poly, took full advantage of
the thriving Underground movement and experimental clubs like UFO in 1967 to
demonstrate the unique lyrics, astounding music, ground breaking special effects,
breath taking sound experimentation, visual imagery and social commentary which
was both ahead of its time in the sixties and still unparalleled in huge arenas,
playing to millions, decades later.
Taking its title from the seventh chapter of Kenneth
Grahame's The Wind in the Willows, the long player is Pink Floyd's Piper at the
Gates of Dawn.
Johnnie is joined by former architecture student and
founding drummer with the band - Nick Mason and his friend Aubrey 'Po' Powell,
who grew up in Cambridge with the original band's sensitive genius and founding
song writer, the late Syd Barrett and David Gilmour (who joined in 1968) and is
artistic director of the band, co-founder of Hipgnosis (who designed most of
their album sleeves and photography) and curator 'Their Mortal Remains', which
chronicles Pink Floyd's entire history at London's V&A Museum."
