History
[edit]The title,The Amazing Pudding,was originally a working title for Pink Floyd's 1970 "Atom Heart Mother"suite.[7]
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),[8][9][10]Bruno MacDonald (issues 24–60, 1987–1993),[11]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 likeHMV,Tower Records,andVirginamong others – as being purely independent, illustrated by its irreverent take on the band and its members.[11][12]

Mabbett wrote three books on Pink Floyd:Pink Floyd: The Visual Documentary(1994, withMiles),[14]The Complete Guide to the Music of Pink Floyd(1995),[15]andPink Floyd: The Music and the Mystery(2010).[16]Mabbett also wrote the section on Pink Floyd in the official program for the band's 1996 induction into the USRock and Roll Hall of Fame.[17]Mabbett appears as a Pink Floyd expert in the documentaryWhatever Happened to Pink Floyd?[10]
