Pink Floyd - The Early Years 1965-1972 Box Set - Realiz/ation (Content, tracks, etc. ONLY!)

Hard to say, but their setlists around that time often had it as the opening number, so maybe it should by rights open Devi/ation

 

It appears that AD may just have been a rehearsal, a run-through so it would probably come first just like it was in the set list at the time.

 

Would this imply there may not be additional un-broadcasted songs (Embryo, Saucerful, etc) after all?

(I've been kinda hoping a lost Main Theme or Violent Sequence performance might turn up )

 

I don't think it implies anything. We were told that there was an additional 30 mins of footage including AD.

 

Stolen from a fan-made bootleg that was recorded from a lossy digital broadcast of the master tape. There were more tracks broadcast and bootlegged but they inexplicably didn't use those at all. Instead they included poor off-line versions. Just more shoddiness.

There are also two broadcasts/recordings of "Flaming" that can be seamlessly edited together to form a voice-over free version. Of course they didn't attempt this, or probably even think of it.

 

I've already done it at home ; ) Yeah, that's why I used the word passable ~ for someone with no other versions, that song is decent compared to the others on Continu/ation.

 

Its not that they didn't think of it (I suggested this when I supplied them with better versions of the 67 broadcast before it was released) but rather it was they're preference to include John Peel' s intros/outros whenever possible.

 

I must admit I prefer the takes with John Peel's intros.

 

Excerpt that it was Pete Drummond voice

 

I know. I laughed when I read that.

 

Atom Heart Mother is 52 minutes long.

 

Dammit,
I still want a toy van!

 

I'll sell you mine.

 

For 500 bones, I still feel it should have been included over some of the paraphernalia we did get. I was just thinking that I never even played the 45s included....

Now if your toy van is included with the previously unreleased material you offered the band (The Early Years - Rontoon Rejec/tion Discs), you have my interest sir!

 

But if those Vinyl Singles were also a separate RSD Release, if this Box Set was never released or they were not included in the Box Set, they would be sold for $15 per Vinyl is my guess.

 

I know. But modern vinyl releases don't have such long running times on one side.

 

Are there Chinese knockoffs out there?

The Early Years- 1965-1972- Pink Floyd- CD-Vinyl-DVD-Blu-Ray 28 Disc Box Set NEW | eBay

 

That looks genuine to me.

 

And it's from Canada, not China.

 

I've never even opened the little packet of fancy items. Someday I will. I need to be in the proper mindset, which is hard to find these days.

 

Shipped from Canada.

 

Further to the outtakes from More on Dramatis/ation CD1, there is an unofficial recording available called "More Outtakes", in which can be heard:

· Some unreleased instrumental music;

· The guitar part for "Cirrus Minor";

· The keyboard introduction to "Main Theme".

All said to be from a documentary about the multi-track recording technique, broadcast by the BBC in June 1969, under the title "Laying Down Tracks".
- Does anyone know if this documentary is available?
- Has anyone seen it?

 

Never seen the video, not sure if it still exists (would love to see it ). But the audio tracks you describe ~ with some voiceover ~ can be found on an old RoIO called "Music For Architecture Students." Quality is abysmal. Nice historical artifact, but doesn't come off as an outtakes listening experience, alas : /

 

Thanks.
Also, I think, the track is on the Tree Full of Secrets project.

A few years ago now, there was some information and discussion circulating about an apparent proposed sale on eBay of recordings described as "More 8-track master reels". These were said to include these tracks (and others?):
Main Theme
Paris Bar
Stefan's Tit
Ibiza Bar
Theme "Dramatic Version".
It didn't seem clear what had happened to these tapes.

I wonder whether now there's any link with the Dramatis/ation CD1 track "Seabirds".

 

I have tried the search within thread function, but I haven’t found a list of errors they are issuing replacements for on the two Blu-rays.

Can anybody list them or point me in the right direction? I am just diving into my box set now.

Thanks!
