== History[edit source] ==
The title, ''The Amazing Pudding'', was originally a working title for Pink Floyd's 1970 "Atom Heart Mother" suite.
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), Bruno MacDonald (issues 24–60, 1987–1993), and Dave Walker (issues 13–60, –1993), for ten years and 60 issues.
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.
