Wow, I had no idea. Totally crazy that they didn’t make this more widely available. I am sure it is much better than The Endless River:
Two years before Pink Floyd’s 1967 debut Piper at the Gates of Dawn landed on record store shelves, the group – which still included guitarist Rado Klose – entered a recording studio and laid down their first recordings. The material sat in the vault for 50 years, but under Europe’s new “use it or lose it” law, the group was forced to release the material to extend the copyright. In turn, an historic recording by one of rock’s most esteemed groups was quietly released as a double seven-inch limited to 1,000 copies. Syd Barrett nuts were salivating at the chance to hear pristine versions of psychedelic tunes like “Lucy Leave” and “Remember Me,” while “Walk With Me Sydney” is one of the earliest-known tunes penned by Roger Waters. It’s a fascinating look at a band in their most embryonic stage. Who knows what amazing things they’ll be forced to release in the coming years?
