Серия: "-"

A behind the scenes, in-depth look at the making of one of the greatest sonic masterpieces and most commercially successful albums of all time.

In it's first run, it took up residence in the US charts for a mind-boggling 724 weeks. According to recent estimates, one in five British households owns a copy. This, however, is only a fraction of the story." Dark Side" is rock's most fully realised and elegant concept album, based on themes of madness, anxiety and alienation that were rooted in the band's history - and particularly in the tragic tale of their one - time leader Syd Barrett.

Harris, John

(1820-1884)
   Born to a miner at Six Chimneys Cottage, Bolennowe Hill, Camborne, Cornwall, he started working underground in Dolcoath mine with his father at the age of twelve. Mainly self-educated, he was encouraged by the rector of Camborne to write poetry. An industrious man, he built his own house and in 1845 he married. He was scripture reader in Falmouth and a Methodist local preacher. His Lays from the Mine, the Moor, and the Mountain was published in 1853, and from then on he published a volume nearly every year. In 1864 he won first prize for the Shakespeare tercentenary poem. He died at Falmouth and was buried at Treslothan. His My Autobiography was published in 1882. Some of his other publications: The Land's End and Other Poems, 1859. The Mountain Prophet, 1860. Wayside Pictures, 1874. Walks with the Wild Flowers, 1875. Some of his poems: "Elihu Burritt in Cornwall," "Out of Cornwall," "Sonnets to the Months," "The Avon," "The Cannon in the Lane," "The Fall of Slavery," "The Monument of Chatterton," "The Winding Wye."
