Notes


This compilation gathers a total of 28 musical pieces starting with the Blues piece the Floyd recorded for the Zabriskie Point movie and which would become the base for most (if not all) of the performances of this famous theme that the Floyd started to play live just a couple of months after the Zabriskie Point sessions. They are presented in chronological order, and run until 1977 when Pink Floyd last played a blues improvised number. PF may have played the blues several other times, but no recordings of them exist (at least until the date of release of this compilation).

In making this compilation, fade-ins and fade-outs were applied in all the songs to create a smoother flow of the music.

In all the instances but one the source files were kept in its original form without any manipulation. The only one manipulated was the Ann Arbor recording. Since Ann Arbor's source has a big channel problem (the left channel was mostly noise almost without music) and a huge hiss presence everywhere,
