After completing the book about The Wall - which will be released in September 2026 - all attention is now focused on Lowlands Paradise. In recent years, many loose ends have surfaced that need to be sorted out. And new items continue to surface from archives and collections of people who were there, especially between 1967 and 1972. New photos, articles, and even contracts have surfaced in recent years. Additionally, there were even concerts that were planned but did not take place, and even a concert that is completely unknown but did happen.
Initially, it was my intention to publish the book in English. However, I tend to lean towards choosing Dutch after all. First and foremost, because the story is so Dutch that it is the most appropriate language to publish the book in. 1968 played an important role in the books Pink Floyd in the Polder (2007) and Pink Floyd in the Netherlands (2017) and covered about a quarter of both books. After the release of Lowlands Paradise, Pink Floyd 1968 will be published, the sequel to Ed Paule's Pink Floyd 1967 (from 2025) and the upcoming Pink Floyd 1965/1966 in the spring of 2027. Since the Dutch concerts from 1968 receive ample attention in his book, and that series is in English, we can keep Lowlands Paradise in Dutch.
