Notes

Track 1: "Look Of The Week", BBC TV Centre, London. May 14, 1967. Without spoken
intro from Hans Keller. From vinyl.

Tracks 2, 3: Unknown. Strange mix with much louder vocals.

Track 4: "Top Of The Pops", unconfirmed. It is a playback of 'See Emily Play' so
it is impossible to verify the authenticy. Applause at the end (fades out).

Track 5: Top Gear broadcast, BBC Radio 1, London, UK. October 1st, 1967. Presented
by Pete Drummond and John Peel

Track 6: Rare US B-side. Mono edit.

Track 7: Halfspeed of last verse.

Track 8: Is this the version with Syd?

Tracks 9: Garbled stereo lyrics.

Tracks 10-12: Recorded early 1972 by Steve Took (Vocals, noises, organ, congas)
and Syd Barrett (Guitar). Very weird stuff! Most likely off the 1995 CD release
of the Took Demos "The Missing Like To Tyrannosaurus Rex". It is very unlikely
that it actually is Syd playing guitar on these tracks. The style is totally
different. A fake I say.

Track 13: Fake?

Tracks 14-20: From the Syd Barrett 1974 sessions. I am leaning more and more towards that these demos are all fake.
