Those BBC recordings should have good enough sound quality to be released... THEY SHOULD BE RELEASED!!!

Then I guess I would have just about enougu early Floyd Live, which for me is much better than early Floyd in the studio.

I would go further and suggest that it has always been a well known Floyd song, if only because of the catchy name.
 
It doesn't belong in this poll and has unfortunately distorted what is potentially an interesting question.

I'd swear I have a recording of disc one (could be bootleg though) but there was NO brass on it. I will investigate further. Thanks!

^ Haha! All those early singles I love, I just figured it would be easy throwing in one song from each album that most people would have heard or owned. I really do like those singles, and there are a lot of songs that I would have like to add! Cry

Boy, I love that track. Sane Syd voice, a rare treat! Plus it has the F-word, which somehow got past the censors when it was released as a single circa 1967.
It was the B side of the Arnold Layne single. 
It's also featured on the compilation "Masters of Rock/The Best of the Pink Floyd" .
The 1974 release sold quite well because of the success of dark side the moon - I've seen many copies around and the price is low. So perhaps not truly obscure - but a very nice tune indeed.

I would like a copy of this thing...

Astronomy Domine shouldn't really be considered an "obscure" Pink Floyd song.  It was released in multiple forms and, while not mainstream, is not unheard-of by casual Pink Floyd fans.  So I guess I'll go with Fearless.

This is the Live version that had Twyla Tharpe dancing that got trashed senselessly and I think that Roger and the band stopped playing AHM all together. On the bootlegs, this is the version that sounds like a lullaby. And it is really pretty and very nice ... and you gotta hand it to the guys to be flexible enough to try something different ... that sadly got trashed senseless and ripped by the rock press ... and later Ian put up a cover that had the dead ballerina, and I still think that it was a refence to this!
 
Rock music killed the ballerina and the "classic" ideas and concepts!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Of the songs offered, definitely "Fearless".  Simply a great song and a lot of fun to play. Others not listed would be "Childhood's End", "Grantchester Meadows", and  "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast".
