"Always
need a little more room ..."
The release
of "Works" in 1983 would have been an entirely insignificant
occurrence, if not for the inclusion of one new composition in this
collection of otherwise previously released songs.
"Embryo"
was actually recorded by Pink Floyd during the sessions for 1969's
"Ummagumma" album. However,
since the song was recorded by the group, and thus didn't fit into
the album's concept of providing time for each band member to do
his own thing for a half of an album side, its release was put on
hold.
The song would
eventually be issued in 1970, as part of "Picnic," a sampler
compiled by the Harvest label, even though Roger
Waters, the number's author, says that the song was never truly
finished. Its inclusion on the "Works" album some 13 years
later surely made it available to a wider audience, and boosted
sales for the album.
