The band will play selections from “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn” and “A Saucerful of Secrets” May 20 at Dingwalls in Camden, before giving three shows at the Half Moon in Putney May 21, 23 and 24.

Relics re-release coming in May

Posted March 27, 2018 by Floydian Slip

Pink Floyd Records will re-release its 1971 compilation album “Relics” on heavyweight 180-gram vinyl on May 18.

The album was remastered was James Guthrie, Joel Plante and Bernie Grundman, the same team responsible for the spate of other recent Floyd re-issues.

“Relics” includes singles; B-sides; and tracks from the band’s first three albums: “The Piper at the Gates Of Dawn” (1967), “A Saucerful of Secrets” (1968) and the soundtrack to the film “More” (1969).

At the time of its original release, it boasted a previously-unreleased number written by Roger Waters, “Biding My Time,” recorded in July 1969.

“Relics” was the first album to include the Floyd singles “Arnold Layne” and “See Emily Play”; and the original studio recording of “Careful with That Axe, Eugene,” originally the B-side of “Point Me at the Sky.”

The sleeve features the original black and white drawing by Floyd drummer Nick Mason, with the subtitle “A Bizarre Collection of Antiques & Curios.”

All tracks are the original stereo versions, except for “Arnold Layne” and “See Emily Play,” which are the original mono mixes.

The label has been busy re-releasing the Floyd catalog on vinyl. A re-issue of “Pulse” was announced earlier this week (“Pulse to be reissued on vinyl“).
