Early Pink Floyd recordings released

Posted November 30, 2015 by Floydian Slip

A handful of very early Pink Floyd recordings had their first official release Friday as “Pink Floyd 1965: Their First Recordings.” The limited edition vinyl set was sold during Record Store Day in the United Kingdom.

At least two of the recordings had been floating around as bootlegs since the ’60s — “Lucy Leave” and “I’m a King Bee” — but most fans were familiar with the others by title only.

The double-7-inch vinyl set contains a total of four Syd Barrett numbers, one by Roger Waters and a cover of a Slim Harpo song:

  1. Lucy Leave
    02:53 (Barrett)
  2. Double O Bo
    03:25 (Barrett)
  3. Remember Me
    02:45 (Barrett)
  4. Walk With Me Sydney
    03:11 (Waters)
  5. Butterfly
    02:59 (Barrett)
  6. I’m a King Bee
    03:07 (Harpo)

The lineup on the recordings consists of Roger Waters, bass and vocals; Nick Mason, drums; Rado Klose, guitar; Richard Wright, keyboards; and Syd Barrett, guitar and vocals.

The Waters composition, “Walk With Me Sydney,” features vocals by Juliette Gale, wife of keyboardist Rick Wright.

Though the limited edition of approximately 1,000 sets was distributed in the U.K. only, the band’s Facebook page says the band hopes to make the tracks available “in some physical form towards the end of next year (2016).”
