Making love to girls in magazines
It is not widely known that publisher and geriatric swinger Hugh Hefner has been a faithful fan of the Pink Floyd since he saw them play Dark Side of the Moon during their 1973 tour. The group's well-publicized trip to the Playboy mansion in June 1977 forced religious conservatives--who until that time had been praising Animals as an interpretation of the book of Revelation--to re-think their position on the band, and caused a number of churches to remove "Shine On You Crazy Messiah" and "Wish You Were Here" from their hymnals.
When Roger Waters split from the band, both camps sought Hef's approval, and he ultimately sided with Gilmour and Mason, which in turn prompted Roger's scathing, tell-all Penthouse interview. From 1988 through early 1991 Hefner published a relatively unknown Floyd fanzine. Sales were disappointing, and the only thing that kept the magazine afloat after the Floyd finished touring was Steve O'Rourke's unquenchable thirst for pictures of Ginger Gilmour.
Ultimately, Hefner chose to close the book on this chapter of his career and in recent years, as part of the pre-nuptial agreement between David Gilmour and Polly Samson, Gilmour has bought up most circulating copies of the magazine and had them destroyed. But sparing no expense in the quest to bring our readers the most complete Floyd information possible, Spare Bricks, in association with rachel-fury-nude.com, is proud to bring you this pictorial from one of the last issues of PlayFloyd.
