Pink Floyd Recalls Unfortunate Incident During Epic Album’s Photo Shot: “Dragging 700 Hospital Beds Onto A Beach”
Pink Floyd recalled the day that they took the album cover of its thirteenth studio album A Momentary Lapse Of Reason.
Floyd has just updated its official social media channels to take fans back to one of the most epic moments they’ve ever lived during their thirteenth studio album era.
Pink Floyd was an English rock band was formed in 1964 by Syd Barrett, Nick Mason, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright. While releasing its debut studio album in 1967, titled The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Floyd broke up several times in the past. Releasing fifteen studio albums in total, the band was released its latest album in 2014, titled The Endless River.
Selling more than 250 million records worldwide, there were some great Pink Floyd albums that have reached world success. According to the band’s fans, one of those greatest albums was the band’s 1987’s A Momentary Lapse Of Reason album, which has an interesting photo-shot story.
Around 1987, the band went out to a beach in Devon to take a photo of the album’s cover. They brought the original 700 hospital beds onto the beach to take the photo-shot. Unfortunately, they’re caught by the rain and forced to cancel the shot. Shortly after, the band had to repeat the moment to take the shot.

Why is Roger Waters the main photo on a story about MLoR?
I was thinking the same thing about the Roger photo, but then there is a birthday wish to him discussed in the article, so it was sort of justified. LOL
BUT… As for the line “According to the band’s fans, one of those greatest albums was the band’s 1987’s A Momentary Lapse Of Reason album” — Well, I’m not so sure about that one! haha
Saw the same with the RW pic. While it isn’t their best album(Animals), it was a great piece of work for the newer and Gilmour driven era.
Why does it matter? It always blows up into the go to argument of Roger v David. It’s like when Roger kept being asked about his contribution to The Endless River and quickly developed a nervous tic. Would anyone rather Mlor didn’t exist at all, or are we as Floyd fans permitted to enjoy what we can from it? Peace and Love to all.
Well said Mark L ✌️
I totally agree that all it ever ends up is Roger and David in the big pissin contest
I don’t give a crap about what people think about Roger or David, I only care about the music. We all have our favorite album, and what we love is all that matters.
