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 like HMV, Tower Records, and Virgin among others – as being purely independent, illustrated by its irreverent take on the band and its members.[11][12]
Trueman went on to publish the Syd Barrett fanzine called Opel before co-founding Delerium Records in 1991.[13]
Mabbett wrote three books on Pink Floyd: Pink Floyd: The Visual Documentary (1994, with Miles),[14] The Complete Guide to the Music of Pink Floyd (1995),[15] and Pink 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 US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[17][18] Mabbett appears as a Pink Floyd expert in the documentary Whatever Happened to Pink Floyd?[10]
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).[19]
