PINK FLOYD Pedantry

Yes, I am anal retentive

Whilst going through the FLOYD discography (so I could write album
reviews on them), I've come across the following mistakes/omissions:

(Tonite, Let's All Make Love in London) - Dave Gilmour is not on this
album, in fact hadn't even joined the group yet. It was recorded during
'The 14 Hour Technicolour Dream' on April, 29 1967. (not 1968 as is
written). So two things need to be changed for this entry: Remove
Gilmour from the 'Line-up' portion and change the date to 1967.

(Atom Heart Mother) - Ron Geesin has to be credited in the Line-up,
he co-wrote and played on the 'Atom Heart Mother' Suite.

(The Division Bell) - Richard Wright should be added to the Line-up
on keyboard and vocals, he is currently omitted as The Division
Bell was his triumphant return to full member status in the FLOYD.

(Echoes - The Best of Pink Floyd) - 'Jugband Blues' is spelled
incorrectly and Syd Barrett should be added to the line-up on guitar
and vocals as he definitely plays on a few tunes on here.

(Dark Side of the Moon / SACD edition remaster) - This album should NOT
be included in the archives, popular or not. Not only does it
needlessly duplicate the album, the FLOYD will be
remastering/re-releasing WYWH and other albums in the near future, and
you can't be expected to add them all. Besides although the SACD
version sounds great/better it is essentially the exact same musical
piece.

Just trying to make the Archives as accurate as possible! If I'm being too picky, then just tell me to shut the %&@$ up! 

Thanks

	Well spotted Cluster1, I don't think you're being pedantic at all. I'm sure Max & Roni will appreciate the opportunity to improve the acuracy of the information. The best way to report such things though is either to use the Prog Archives tab on the main page, and complete the form, or to PM Max. Edited by Easy Livin
