3 stars Hmmm, it's strange that in an era when the Floyd were seemingly writting soungs with their eyes closed that they issue perhaps this rag-bag of odds and ends.

The live side is generally fine, allthough the actual recording is not the greatest of quality. The studio side includes perhaps this eras finest momments in Granchester Meadows and The Narrow Way, but the rest of this side leaves a lot to be desired.

Consider how good this album could have been had it included the Embyro and some of the Zambriske Point tracks - of even just issuing "The Man / The Journey" - Floyds live extraveganza from 1969.

An interesting piece, but considering the bands song writing talents at this time, a MASSIVE missed opportunity.
