Looking over the recent spate of Pink Floyd submissions to this thread prompted me to dig out a few relics (no pun intended) from my own collection. Tonight's playlist is as follows:

Yes, these really are the monophonic versions, and they offer a very different listening experience from their more familiar stereo counterparts. Took me a while to track down a decent mono copy of
Saucerful, longer to clean it up, and longer still to finish new artwork for the entire set... but the results were
most satisfying. Next up is the
Zabriskie Point songtrack (a-la the Beatles'
Yellow Submarine songtrack) - in other words,
ZP as the album it should have been:
Zabriskie Point: Songtrack[*] Crumbling Land (soundtrack version)
[*] Country Song theme (alternate "humming" version)
[*] Come In Number 51, Your Time Is Up (soundtrack version)
[*] Love Scene 4 (soundtrack version)
[*] Heart Beat, Pig Meat (soundtrack version)
[*] Country Song instrumental theme (harpsichord version)
[*] Country Song (soundtrack version)
[*] Unknown Song (a.k.a Rain in the Country) (soundtrack version)
[*] Fingal's Cave (only extant take)
[*] The Violent Sequence (only extant take)
[*] Rock Instrumental / Crumbling Land reprise (film versions)
[*] Oneone (extended mix)
[*] Love Scene 6 (Blues) (soundtrack version)
... which makes for about an hour's worth of music. One of Pink Floyd's best unreleased albums. Wish I could take credit for the idea on this one; it was originally suggested by a guy on the
LaughingMadcaps list.
