PINK FLOYD

Wish I could hear the new box set without spending $500 that I don't have. Pretty annoying that the two-disc version leaves off "Vegetable Man."

They're releasing all but one of the component sets individually next year.

now we're talking

that's Syd on the end/fadeout, yeah?

Apples and Oranges continues to blow my mind. like how is this a song? how is this happening? next time you hear this, try to just listen to Syd's guitar. it's insane. he isn't playing rhythm or even the main chords sometimes, it's this weird serpentine noisey guitar weaving around in the near-background. absolutely fucking awesome.

"Apples and Oranges" is my favorite syd non-album single

'Octopus' really follows on from "Apples and Oranges", which is how it should be.

GILMUR

Jarvis Cocker's secret identity there.

that's awesome. he was so beautiful

A friend of mine was a huge Syd fan from the very beginning. He was super excited to finally see Pink Floyd live when they came to Ann Arbor in '68...and my friend was like, "the fuck?! Where's Syd?! Who's this Gilmour guy?!"

"Who's this Gilmour guy?! HE RULES!!!!"

lol

I don't live very far from Wenley Stadivm, it's embedded in my brain now.

Hahaha!

Has there ever been a thread about funny/inappropriate/weird bootleg artwork?

should be one!

If there's none in the archives, Turrican or Mark G, do the honors.

oh to be a fly on the wall at Abbey Road early 1967...

...actually bet even the flies were tripping

Doubt it. Amazes me that such wonderful psychedelic pop music was made in an environment that, by many accounts, was reportedly quite stuffy.

I think things had loosened up a bit by then. Norman Smith had witnessed the erosion of some of the more uptight practices during his time with the Beatles, and surely recognized that Pink Floyd would not have exactly thrived with strict schedules and lab coats and such.

Norman Smith legendarily didn't "get" Floyd's music at all.

Ah, didn't know that.

I've been doing a lot of Floyd and Barrett reading lately and it seems like it's not quite as simple as that. He seems to have been an enthusiastic participant at least on the first record but had his own pov that was perhaps not entirely floydian

He worked for days on the ending to "Bike." He wanted to out-do the Beatles as he was biter for them sacking him. It wasn't until Saucerful of Secrets that he and the Floyd started drifting apart. he said of the title track, "Personally, I think it's rubbish, but go ahead and do it if you want."

I thought he stopped working with The Beatles because he'd been promoted?

Wikipedia sez he was promoted by EMI from engineer to producer.

It also says,

During the sessions for the song "Remember a Day", drummer Nick Mason became agitated that he could not come up with the right drum part for the song. Smith, however, knew what he wanted with the drums, so he played the part himself.[6]

This is enjoyable - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6Hkt0wzDYg

In the Beatles recording sessions book, the description was "during one particularly miserable session, Norman suddenly decided to quit the Beatles sessions. The four were all "hey Norman, it's not you mate, you all right?" but he was very "ah I love you lads, but I'm done, had enough now, been in this room too many years" at which point they all decided it needed redecorating at some point...

(He's since deleted the tweet that said "Oops!")

If I Had Been God is the Roger Watersiest title ever

If I Had Been Syd more like.

Just learned that Gilmour's super bloozy solo on Another Brick in the Wall 2 was played not on a Strat but a Les Paul Goldtop with P90s, using the neck pickup. I was surprised.

Huh!
