Waters recalled, “Clare came into the studio one day, and we said, ‘There's no lyrics. It's about dying—have a bit of a sing on that, girl.’ I think she only did one take. And we all said, ‘Wow, that's that done. Here's your 60 quid.’” (By Torry’s recollection, it was two and a half takes, and 30 quid.)

LOL

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 LOL

). 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. LOL

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. LOL

I have the Interstellar Overdive, it's great.

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

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

Ah that old chestnut. This was before that, and that was before this. Such discussions usually end up with Bach or Opera

I'm curious what your source is on this.

That setlist is similar to the IT benefit gig at All Saints Church Hall setlist from 30th September 1966, predating the release of Get Me To The World On Time by a couple of months. A recording was made of that gig but I know of no copies of it, though there are early live undated recordings of Astronomie Domine around that have the bass-guitar intro rather than the later organ intro. Seeing that Floyd used it to close the gigs would suggest it was pretty well developed as a song by then. There is no denying the intro to Are You Loving Me More is similar, but it is far from a "wholesale lift" and aside from that there is little comparison between the two.

What?

Quite.

That setlist contains most of Piper, Snowing was renamed Flaming (and Let's Roll Another One became Candy And A Current Bun)

What?
