Been listening to Animals for the first time this weekend.

Was unaware they released it on Nintendo.

The 8-track has a longer version of Pigs On The Wing with a guitar solo by Snowy White.

Thanks!

The group first referred to themselves as the Pink Floyd Sound in late 1965. Barrett created the name on the spur of the moment when he discovered that another band, also called the Tea Set, were to perform at one of their gigs.[20] The name is derived from the given names of two blues musicians whose Piedmont blues records Barrett had in his collection, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.[21]

There's a Garage Revival band called "Anderson Council". I'm not sure of how much they rule though.

There's apparently no evidence that either Pink Anderson or Floyd Council knew there was a famous band named after them

Nice!

very nice!
ahame about the vocals though..could be perfect

shame

ahame indeed.

is this the same recording that was floating around or is it the actual tape? as opposed to the tape of them playing the tape in a club recently?

I think the tape of the tape.

I can't think of anything better to do right now than to listen to this show: http://pinkfloydbootlegplanet.blogspot.com/2010/03/pink-floyd-trick-of-light-march-121970.html

Found out this week that HMV in town has a campaign on the 2011 remasters where single discs are €9.99 and doubles are €14.99. So have subsequently wondered about a few things, which of the lps are essential for one, I'm thinking everything 67-72 though I have the 2007 3cd box of Piper already.
Also what the story was on EMI dumping (or was it selling off?) the Floyd back catalogue which I heard about somewhere else and I wasn't sure how it effected the Discovery series, or if the idea had been dropped.

Also last year when the Discovery series began there was talk of a psychedelic era Immersion box, presumably covering the 1st 2lps, the surrounding singles, various demoes and outtakes and live material. When it was being talked about last year I think it was projected for around this time this year, if not earlier. I haven't heard any thing new about it and wondered if the series was still ongoing. Anybody know?

not many ilxors agree w/me but i infinitely prefer the Waters era to the Barrett era so for me the essential run is Dark Side through to The Wall.

XP - Stevolende, the back catalogue is in limbo at the moment, Universal don't get to keep PF as part of their big EMI buyout, so it depends what happens to EMI over the next year or so. PF's licensing deal ends in about 18 months anyway so the archive could go anywhere.
The was and Early Years box set in planning, from Saucerful to Ummagumma iirc (or maybe including AHM) with maybe some live material (that Syd-era club gig that's been making the rounds recently and Amsterdam '69) but it has been shelved for the moment.

oh dear, early morning typing, duh

From Saucerful to Ummagumma? I thought it was going to cover the Piper era and earlier, talk mentioned several 65 & 66 demoes from what I've seen.

So, I was just wondering where that left the Discovery material, if what was going on sale at the moment was being sold off prior to deletion. just to clear warehouses etc.
Well I picked up a couple of titles and may pick up Atom Heart Mother & Ummagumma yet. No sign of either Saucer or Obscured By Clouds though.

I don't think the Discovery series will dry up anytime soon, it's a slow moving process.

There was a bunch of early demos in Mason's archive so I'm told, I don't know if they were part of the plan or if Piper was to be included in the early set given that it has been fairly well represented. I was lobbying for the inclusion of the mono Saucerful as the Stereo mix is all over the place.

There was also talk of a sympathetically remixed Obscured by Clouds, I didn't think it sounded *that* bad.

This rules

ooh that looks good

pile on many more layers

an immersion box of post-Syd, pre-Dark Side Floyd might be the immersion box I'd be most likely to buy. over the past few years, that's become my favorite era. and there are so many weird/wonderful little side-trips to explore.

I could get to that.

yeah that era is boss

how much do the new remasters rule? was thinking about looking into them. did they ever do the de-80s-izing of Momentary Lapse of Reason? jammed that record last week; if I cut fuckin Dogs of War & am sufficiently mellowed to begin with then it's a good ride

nah they didn't de80s-ize momentary lapse. would be interested in hearing that though.

gonna vote "Terminal Frost" #1 in the pf poll btw

just on title alone

They said they were going to "fix" Momentary, but I'm assuming it'll wait for a post-Roger Immersion box that probably won't happen.

Any clue on how well those first three Immersion boxes sold?

no clue! but yeah i imagine de-80s-izing momentary lapse is wayyyyyyyyyy down on the list of floydian priorities. probably somewhere below gilmour cleaning his gutters.

let's get albini on it

nah I remember reading that they'd already redone the drums

I remember hearing that too. Redone drums, and more of Wright's original piano and keyboard parts.

My favourite era as well. Never would have expected it to be, at 13 I was all about DSOTM up to Final Cut and beyond.

yeah, i mean part of it is just that that's the era i ignored for the longest time, so it's a bit fresher. but i think it also fits my current musical tastes a lot more too.

I had Atom Heart Mother on CD back then, never thought it'd end up by my favourite.

Never bothered with More and Obscured By Clouds back then, due to wrongly thinking the non-remastered CDs would be a waste of money.

Only just discovered the existance o fThe Man and The Journey a couple of days ago.

Looking forward to an "even more 80s-ized" momentary lapse remix album feat. Ford & Lopatin.

Remaster Schemaster..

I got a cheap box "By The Way", all the albums, remastered, I recommend this one.

I'm alright with "Piper" up to "Obscured", and "Animals", the rest I view with trepidation...

DSOTM I know well enough, WYWH I got played at too much..

The recent "best of" contained most if not all the obligatory tracks, I'd have chosen a completely different set apart from maybe three..
