Some were singles, others outtakes. One grey day in High school I rode my bike dodging snowpiles to the small record store in someone's house called The Record Managerie. It was here I would purchase bootlegs whenever I had $20 saved up (1983 money) This record was one of my purchases and probably the first time I had heard Point Me At the Sky and a couple others. Pre-Internet you had to do what you could to survive.

It sounds really good, as if someone had access to the master tapes. Sure "Scream Thy Last Scream" may be an acquired taste, and a tad muffled. (Side One is obviously with Barrett and Side Two sans). Apparently sold 15 000 copies and generally gets 8/10 from fans. I'd recommend it to anyone as a great place to most of the rare early singles together & alt versions, of early Floyd up to 1971. Actually if you combine this LP with "Pink Floyd Masters of Rock" you can cover Arnold Lane, Paintbox, See Emily Play, Julia Dream, (which is the original mono mix which is significantly different from, and longer than the Relics stereo mix). Plus more tracks off Piper At The Gates.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5771348888340911862.post-54810721021952368802010-06-04T08:51:07.755-04:002010-06-04T08:51:07.755-04:00Ah, 2/25/89, 'twas just before my 20th birthda...Ah, 2/25/89, 'twas just before my 20th birthday, that was the year I went to Yesterday's Books and Records in Montclair (don't bother, it's gone now) and was looking thru the cabinet in the corner that was always FILLED with unsleeved 45s. I found particularly good stuff on this trip around, and jokingly asked Jack, the owner, how much he wanted for everything in the cabinet. He said, "make me an offer", so I jokingly said 10 bucks. He said, "Sold!" I lugged about 4,000 45s home that day. Thought my parents were going to have a heart attack.<br /><br />MY favorite Pink Floyd tracks are "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun" from "A Saucerful Of Secrets", and "One Of These Days" from "Meddle"RichardSibellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17543114830570878541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5771348888340911862.post-18461435141364224362010-06-04T01:50:52.394-04:002010-06-04T01:50:52.394-04:00interesting entry. i am a floyd fanatic, though th...interesting entry. i am a floyd fanatic, though they drop almost completely off my radar after "animals." i can (barely) listen to "the final cut," but i completely loathe "the wall." anything post-waters isn't floyd. <br /><br />i see what you mean, re the less, uh, structured songs, that's pretty much the kinda thing you either go for or don't go for, though i totally love the dreamy stoner stuff. there's lot of capital-G Great melodic stuff buried on the LPs, more structured-type stuff i would definitely recommend checking out - stuff like "cymbeline" and "green is the colour" from the "more" LP, "grantchester meadows" from "ummagumma," "summer 68" and "fat old sun" from "atom heart mother" and "san tropez" and "a pillow of winds" from "meddle." floyd's stock-in-trade was definitely the dreamy stoner stuff, but there's quite a bit of superb UK psych-pop to explore on those early LPs...<br /><br />i LOVE that receipt. the other day i drove to work with my CD copy of "buffalo springfield again" - i pulled the booklet out of the case and there's a receipt folded up in there from 9/29/2000, $18.88 for the springfield CD and the first ELO album. i had to buy a replacement copy of "again" cuz my old CD (purchased in the ealry 90s) had a skip on "everydays" (my favorite track).<br /><br />for what it's worth, on 2/25/1989, i was 19 years old, 9 months out of high school and had just depledged a fraternity. i remember that i was had recently bought the first neil young album (on CD), "pet sounds," and "the low spark of high heeled boys.".https://www.blogger.com/profile/13882491083568975956noreply@blogger.com
