The Amazing Pudding (1983–1993)[1] was a British fan magazine devoted to Pink Floyd, Roger Waters, and the solo careers of other Pink Floyd band members, including Syd Barrett.[2] It was seen as being the main fanzine of Pink Floyd during the time of its publication.[3] Journalist Stuart Maconie wrote a six page feature on The Amazing Pudding in the April 1993 issue of Q.[4]
History[edit]
The title, The Amazing Pudding, was a working title for Pink Floyd's 1970 "Atom Heart Mother" suite.[5]
The magazine was established by Ivor Trueman and was co-edited and published, variously, by Trueman (issues 1–17, 1983-), Andy Mabbett (issues 2–60, 1983-1993),[6][7][8] Bruno MacDonald (issues 24–60, 1987-1993),[9] and Dave Walker (issues 13–60, -1993), for ten years and 60 issues.[1]
MacDonald, who started writing for the magazine starting with issue 15, described the self-published and self-distributed publication – available in the United Kingdom at large record stores like HMV, Tower Records, and Virgin among others – as being purely independent, illustrated by its irreverent take on the band and its members.[9][10]
Associated publications[edit]
Trueman went on to publish the Syd Barrett fanzine called Syds Opel before co-founding Delerium Records in 1991.[11]
Mabbett used much of his work in The Amazing Pudding as the starting point and basis for three books on Pink Floyd: Pink Floyd: The Visual Documentary (1994),[12] The Complete Guide to the Music of Pink Floyd (1995),[13] and Pink Floyd: The Music and the Mystery (2010).[14] Mabbett also wrote the section on Pink Floyd in the official program for the band's 1996 induction into the U.S. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[15] Mabbett appears as a Pink Floyd expert in the documentary, Whatever Happened to Pink Floyd?[8]
MacDonald also edited a Sidgwick & Jackson book (later republished by Da Capo Press) that was an anthology of collected writings about the band called Pink Floyd: Through the Eyes of... the Band, Its Fans, Friends, and Foes (1996).[16]
