Love Joe Boyd, his contributions to music are incalculable, and think he should be Knighted for his contributions to popular music. Enjoyed his book, but remember folks, this isn't the usual 'tell all' where somebody simply regurgitates their role in the 60s. Boyd gives a nuanced and balanced portrait of his life and the paths he took. Which makes for a much more interesting read!
Music owes a huge debt to Joe Boyd. He was instrumental in launching the careers of Nick Drake, Fairport Convention, and The Incredible String Band as well as founding London's UFO Club and working with UFO regulars Pink Floyd (producing their first single Arnold Layne) .

I love this story about the influence for Interstellar Overdrive. This proves that the group Love with Arthur Lee was a big influence on Pink Floyd.
