 TO VEGETABLE MAN:Zabriskie Point...March 1970'
Atom Heart Mother...October 1970'
The reason why they may want to do that is those songs would never be heard by most fans of Pink Floyd(even your biggest ones) on Zabriskie Point. Zabriskie had lots of other bands on it that proggers wouldn't be interested.
To me...Crumbling Land is one of my favorites and it is a shame it is so difficult to find. Heart Beat, Pig Meat wasn't a masterpiece but neither is Fat Old Sun and I rate HBPM higher...the last tune Come in Number 51 Your Time Is Ip is just another remake of Careful With That Axe Eugene
P.S..Vegetable Man was a great tune by Syd...way ahead of it's time...very loud and heavy...a little too distorted sounding though...so awesome username!!

The Soundtrack may have been released in 1970, but the songs were written and recorded in 1969. I'm not a big fan of HPBM but I do love Crumbling Land, unfortunately the Floyd weren't the band to reuse material like that... (the reason why Come in Number 51 Your Time is Up was recorded for the film is because the director of Zabriskie Point was one stubborn guy.)
P.S. Thanks! 

Hey Vegetable Man-Could you believe Pink Floyd actually referred Crumbling Land as their stab at country?...if thats country then I'm the pope.
I would agree that the guy who directed that as one stubborn guy. Pink Floyd originally signed on thinking they would do the entire soundtrack but then he had his doubts and went with a mix....too bad.
