Notes


1. Arnold Layne (Barrett)
Regular
Mono
Jan 1967
This is the regular single version, in mono (it sounds exactly like the official "Early Singles" version). The stereo version can be found on "Relics".

2. Candy And A Current Bun(Barrett)
Regular
Mono
Jan 1967
Mis-labeled on this disc as "Candy And A Currant", this is the regular version, in mono, as it appears on the official "Pink Floyd Early Singles". This track was the B-side of the "Arnold Layne" single, and was recorded during the same sessions.

3. Flaming (Barrett)
Regular
Mono Single Version
5 Aug 1967
Mis-labeled on this disc as "Flamming. This is the alternate mix, as it appeared on the 3rd U.S. single on Capitol's Tower label. This single was released on U.S. because this track didn't appear on the U.S. release of "The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn". The mix is not so different from the regular one, just a little bit rough, and with some background sounds mixed louder. It's mono.

4. Scream Thy Last Scream (Barrett)
Regular
Unreleased
9 Aug 1967
The famous unreleased single appears here with the best sound quality ever. There's absolutely no tape hiss, no distortion, no background noise! It was planned to be the third U.K. single (w/ "Vegetable Man" as the B-side), but it was cancelled.

5. Julia Dream (Waters)
Radio
BBC - Top Gear
25 Jun 1968
Excellent quality, better than most of other "BBC sessions".

6. Point Me At The Sky (Waters/Gilmour)
Radio
BBC - Top Gear
25 Jun 1968
The disc says this was taken from the same "Top Gear" session, but this is exactly the same version as the mono version that appears on the official "Pink Floyd Early Singles".

7. Embryo (Waters)
Radio
BBC - Top Gear
2 Dec 1968
Wrongly listed on the back of this disc as from "Top Gear" 14 Jan 1970. It's in fact from the 2 Dec 1968 "Top Gear" session.

8. Atom Heart Mother (Waters/Wright/Gilmour/Mason/Geesin)
Radio
BBC - Peel Sunday Concert
16 Jul 1970
The back of the disc lists this recording as from 16 Sept 1970, but it in fact from 16 July 1970.This is the whole song, 24 minutes long, with the orchestra. Sound is excellent, but in mono. In all the X-references I know, this broadcast is in stereo. It's a pity they didn't find the stereo source for this CD.

9. Breathe (Waters/Gilmour/Wright)
Concert
London
17 Feb 1972
The disc says it's a demo version, dated 17 Feb 1970. It's WRONG. This is from one of the very first public performances of "The Dark Side Of The Moon". It was recorded in London, at the Rainbow Theatre, 17 Feb 1972. Excellent stereo (maybe soundboard). It sounds like a copy of version on the "Best Of Tour 1972" (Swinging Pig), with the very good NoNoise mastering.

10. On The Run (Gilmour/Waters)
Concert
London
17 Feb 1972
Same as for "Breathe". The info on this disc is wrong about the date and the source. This is from 17 Feb 1972. This version of On The Run is the "jam" version, very different from the version on the official Dark Side Of The Moon (released more than one year later!).

11. Money (Waters)
Demo
Acoustic Guitar
1972
This time, this is really a demo version. Roger Waters sings the lyrics, accompying himself on acoustic guitar. Very interesting, because it's very different from the final developpement of the song. There's no Gilmour, Wright or Mason here. It's obvious that this track was recorded months before the first public performances, since it's a very "minimal" version. More than likely it was recorded in 1971 (not 1972, as listed on this disc). This is a mono recording.

12. Pigs On The Wing (Part 1 And 2) (Waters)
Released
8-track Version
1977
This is the complete studio version of this song, as the Floyd recorded it, in 1977. Between the first and second part, there's an electric guitar solo by Snowy White (he was the second guitarist on the "In the Flesh" tour). Unfortunately, they decided to cut this song in two parts for the album "Animals", and the beautiful middle part with Snowy White disappeared! The full version can only be found on the very rare 8-track release of "Animals". So here it is, in stereo, with some tape hiss (but not too annoying).

13. Mother (Waters)
Alternate Mix
Stereo
(date unknown)
Taken from the film version of "The Wall". The song is very different from the album version. The sound is really superb, in stereo.

14. Outside The Wall (Waters)
Alternate Mix
Stereo
(date unknown)
Listed as "Outside The Wall" on this disc. This features the film version of "Mother" and "What Shall We Do Now" ending. "What Shall We Do Now" wasn't on the album version, but was played during "The Wall" shows.
