Pink Floyd Appreciation Thread

That'd be House Music

Bob Ezrin played piano on "Nobody Home"

I just adore them - everything for me is perfect - The music, the legend, the packaging and the incredible legacy. Quite a heady mix!

The one that should have been released on Ummagumma? I'm jealous.

Here's your 60 quid.’” (By Torry’s recollection, it was two and a half takes, and 30 quid.) Nice.  I don't really trust people's recollections as I get older (and friend constantly contest my recollections of shared events, while I contest theirs ).  I've heard at least 3 different recollections of Torry's time in the studio with Floyd (the only thing that seems certain is that she was brought in, sang the part, and was paid some amount or other).

True that.

Torry also recollects that it was only Gilmour who actually spoeke to her and gave instructions. The others didn't even give her a glance.
Charming guys.

Me too. I didn't go for it because it was way too expensive, and wasn't sure what it added was worth it. With the price of the immersion sets I could buy about 10 regular albums, and there are so many albums I want to buy that I'd better go for those. I know there were a few songs, included in the immersion sets that weren't part of the middle one (I keep forgetting how they called those middle sets), but the bulk of unreleased material was on the middle ones anyway (I still think they should have released the Wembley material as a new live album, and not as part of the new releases of the albums, that would have been more honest... though perhaps not so profitable). I'm still hoping they will still release the "Echoes" from that same concert somewhere (perhaps some expanded editions from Meddle), and I guess Ummagumma should have some material for expanded editions too, I believe from the same recordings that the live disc of Ummagumma came, there was a recording of "Interstellar Overdrive"... that would be great. Plus, I believe there should be some studio outakes too. And from more, there's at least a song called "seabirds", I think, or something like that. I once heard it, and it was cool, but it had quiet a bit of the movie's dialogs and that didn't work so well.

Except perhaps Biding my Time and Childhood's End. But once again, I like much more the version of Any Colour you Like that was released on the live CD of the new edition of Dark Side. You mean the one Roger Waters did? If so, I don't agree I need Gilmour in there, and there was just something about the way he played during those first ten years he played for them. He's still got magic, but the more aggressive and unpredictable Gilmour always was my fave.

No, from the new re-release campaign Pink Floyd just did last year. With the Discovery, Immersion and so on editions. The regular edition was just the albums remastered (once again). But the middle and top editions had extra material. I got the middle one for Dark Side, and it included the live version of the album (Wembley 74), played by classic Floyd, with Gilmour and Waters and all. The version of Any Colour you Like is a 8 min one, really great, with more Gilmour and more Wright than the original one. I just love it. Previously my favourite one was the one on PULSE, but now I like this one better. I still haven't got Water's show where he did Dark Side, I didn't even realize he had already released it until a short while ago, but I'm not sure if it's a completley official release because of how little difussion it was given.
