Recorded : London, late 1965

Primary source : EMIdisc acetate

Source for the tree : "A Fish out of Water" RoIO CD & "Outtakes from Outer Space" RoIO CD

These two (unreleased) songs appear on a two-sided 7" acetate discovered early 1988.

Whilst some experts consider this as a fake, Miles reproduces in his book a setlist

including "Lucy Leave" for the gig the band played on October 14, 1966.

3 - Let's Roll Another One (Barrett) 03:09

Recorded : London, Mike Leonard's house, January 1967

Primary source : cassette recording

Source for the tree : unkown gen copy

Instrumental rehearsal for the song that later became "Candy and a Currant Bun".

This rehearsal took place at Mike Leonard's house and was recorded by Irene Winsby.

4 - Arnold Layne (Barrett) - acetate 02:34

Recorded : London, Sound Techniques Studios, January 23-25, 1967

Primary source : EMIdisc acetate

Fades in 2 seconds after the actual start, strange edit skipping organ solo.

Recorded : London, Sound Techniques Studios, January 23-25, 1967

Primary source : "Arnold Layne" single (1st single), released March 11, 1967

Source for the tree : "The Pink Floyd Early Singles" CD

6 - Arnold Layne (Barrett) - fake stereo 02:51

Recorded : London, Sound Techniques Studios, January 23-25, 1967

Primary source : "The Best of the Pink Floyd" compilation, released 1970

& "Masters of Rock" compilation, released 1973

Source for the tree : "Works" CD

7 - Candy and a Currant Bun (Barrett) - acetate 01:59

Recorded : London, Sound Techniques Studios, January 23-25, 1967

Primary source : EMIdisc acetate

Source for the tree : "Anthology II" RoIO CD

Alternate lyrics ("please just walk with me" while on the regular single version it's "please

just f*** with me"), different verse structure, no organ and guitar solos.

Some people refer to this version as being "Let's Roll Another One" from October 1966 sessions at

Thompson Recording Studios, but since the instrumental tracks are the same as the regular single

version, this probably comes from the same January 1967 sessions at Sound Techniques Studios.

8 - Candy and a Currant Bun (Barrett) - mono 02:43

Recorded : London, Sound Techniques Studios, January 23-25, 1967

Primary source : "Arnold Layne" single (1st single), released March 11, 1967

Source for the tree : "The Pink Floyd Early Singles" CD

On the "Masters of Rock" compilation released 1973, there was a mistake in the title:

"Candy and a Current Bun".

9 - Interstellar Overdrive (Barrett, Waters, Wright, Mason) - demo 06:57

Recorded : ?

Primary source : ?

Source for the tree : unknown gen copy

This obscure demo is probably a fake. However, it has acquired a certain fame in the

trading circle of Pink Floyd fans. We included it here, in order to let you make your own

opinion. Some say it was recorded on a cheap cassette recorder, by two guys playing

guitar simultaneously, sometime during the 80s. Note that the first riff after the intro is

identical to the bass riff that can be heard on the "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" version,

and that earlier versions of the song (on "San Francisco" soundtrack or "Tonite Let's All

Make Love in London" soundtrack) don't contain this particular riff. This leads to the

conclusion that this "demo" was probably recorded after the release of "The Piper At The

Gates Of Dawn" album.

10 - Interstellar Overdrive (Barrett, Waters, Wright, Mason) - CBC version 10:43

Recorded : London, early January 1967

Primary source : CBC Canadian Radio broadcast, early 1967

Source for the tree : "Stone Rust" RoIO CD & "Dark Globe" RoIO CD

& "The Sights And Sounds Of Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd" RoIO CD

This obscure studio version of "Interstellar Overdrive" was used during an interview

broadcast in early 1967 by CBC Canadian Radio.

11 - Interstellar Overdrive (Barrett, Waters, Wright, Mason) - Abbey Road outtake 00:40

Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, March 14-15, 1967

Primary source : Capital Radio broadcast ("Pink Floyd Story"), December 1976 - January 1977

Outtake from "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" sessions.

12 - Interstellar Overdrive (Barrett, Waters, Wright, Mason) - mono single version 05:13

Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, March 14-15, 1967

Primary source : "Arnold Layne" French EP, released 1967

Source for the tree : "Anthology II" RoIO CD

This version is unique, because it only contains the basic track, without overdubs. It

fades out before the actual end of the song.

13 - Scarecrow (Barrett) - Abbey Road outtake 01:05

Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, March 19-20, 1967

Primary source : Capital Radio broadcast ("Pink Floyd Story"), December 1976 - January 1977

Source for the tree : unknown gen from Capital Radio broadcast

Outtake from "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" sessions. All the instruments are heavily

undermixed. This is nearly an unplugged version ?.

14 - Scarecrow (Barrett) - mono 02:07

Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, March 19-20, 1967

Primary source : "See Emily Play" single (2nd single), released June 16, 1967

Source for the tree : "The Pink Floyd Early Singles" CD

15 - Astronomy Dominé (Barrett) - Abbey Road outtake 03:26

Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, April 11-12, 1967

Primary source : Capital Radio broadcast ("Pink Floyd Story"), December 1976 - January 1977

Source for the tree : unknown gen from Capital Radio broadcast

Outtake from "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" sessions. It includes an interview with

Floyd's manager Peter Jenner.

16 - See Emily Play (Barrett) - actetate 02:49

Recorded : London, Sound Techniques Studios, May 18 & 21, 1967

Primary source : EMIdisc acetate

Source for the tree : "Dawn Of The Piper" RoIO CD

This version is very close to the regular one, there are only slight changes in the mix

(vocals are undermixed, organ is more in the front...) and the very end is uncut.

17 - See Emily Play (Barrett) - mono 02:52

Recorded : London, Sound Techniques Studios, May 18 & 21, 1967

Primary source : "See Emily Play" single (2nd single), released June 16, 1967

Source for the tree : "The Pink Floyd Early Singles" CD

18 - See Emily Play (Barrett) - fake stereo 02:49

Recorded : London, Sound Techniques Studios, May 18 & 21, 1967

Primary source : "The Best of the Pink Floyd" compilation, released 1970

& "Masters of Rock" compilation, released 1973

Source for the tree : "A CD Full of Secrets" CD

19 - Flaming (Barrett) - mono 02:43

Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, June 7 & 27, 1967

Primary source : "Flaming" US single (3rd US single), released November 2, 1967.

Source for the tree : "A CD Full of Secrets" CD

"Flaming" was not on the first US release of "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" album, and

was then released as a single. This version is different from the regular (stereo) mix:

background noises are mixed much louder.

In fact, this version is identical to the version on the mono edition of "The Piper at the Gates of

Dawn" album. Curiously, on the 30th Anniversary Mono Edition CD released in 1997, one chord of

the final chords sequence was edited out.

20 - Untitled (uncredited) 01:31

Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, 1967

Primary source : ?

Source for the tree : "Dawn Of The Piper" RoIO CD

This untitled outtake was probably recorded around the same time "Jugband Blues" and

"Vegetable Man" were recorded.

On a lot of circulating copies, the title of this outtake is "Sunshine", but it's wrong ("Sunshine" was

a working title for something that was later included in "Matilda Mother", and no outtake ever

surfaced for this track). On some other copies, the title of this outtake is "Experiment".

21 - Silas Lang (Barrett) 02:39

Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, 1967 or 1968

Primary source : ?

Source for the tree : "Vegetable Man, Where Are You" RoIO LP

There's a strong debate about the exact origin of this obscure outtake. Some think it was

recorded by the Floyd during the "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" sessions, in June 1967.

Other think it comes from a solo Barrett session in May 1968. This outtake contains the

early chords of Syd Barrett's song "Swan Lee (Silas Lang)". Note that the piano and jazz

tunes may be due to a technical error while dubbing the original multitrack master tape

onto cassette.

22 - Scream Thy Last Scream (Barrett) - mono 04:27

Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, August 7-8, 1967

Primary source : EMIdisc acetate

Source for the tree : unknown gen copy

This was intended to be the A-side of Pink Floyd's fourth single (after "Apples and

Oranges" single). But due to Syd's departure from the band, it remained unreleased.

Source for the tree : 1st gen copy from "Remember A Day" promo single

There's an edit during the intro, the 2nd verse ("Now is the time to be aware...") is

missing, the beginning of the instrumental part after the last verse was cut, and there's

an early fade out.

11 - Corporal Clegg (Waters) - video version 02:50

Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, January 31, 1968

Primary source : Belgian promo video

Source for the tree : unknown gen copy from Belgian promo video

This mono version has an alternate ending: the last chorus (just after "His boots were

very clean") and the following instrumental part are alternate takes from the regular

version.

12 - It Would Be So Nice (Wright) - mono 03:43

Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, February 12-13 & March 5-12-21, 1968

Primary source : "It Would Be So Nice" single (4th single), released April 12, 1968

Source for the tree : "The Pink Floyd Early Singles" CD

Due to the "Evening Standard" mention in the original lyrics, the Floyd was forced to

return in the studio to change it into "Daily Standard". The original "Evening Standard"

version doesn't seem to have surfaced.

13 - It Would Be So Nice (Wright) - promo edit 03:12

Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, February 12-13 & March 5-12-21, 1968

Primary source : "It Would Be So Nice" UK promo single, released April 12, 1968

Source for the tree : ?

The central "It would be so nice" chorus is only sung once, and the first lines of the

second verse ("Everybody cares about the weather ... what a waste of time") are edited.

14 - It Would Be So Nice (Wright) - fake stereo 03:39

Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, February 12-13 & March 5-12-21, 1968

Primary source : "The Best of the Pink Floyd" compilation, released 1970

& "Masters of Rock" compilation, released 1973

Source for the tree : "A CD Full of Secrets" CD

Curiously, on "A CD Full of Secrets", the right and left channels were inverted, comparing to the

original fake stereo version on "The Best of the Pink Floyd" and "Masters of Rock".

15 - Julia Dream (Waters) - demo 03:14

Recorded : ?

Primary source : ?

Source for the tree : unknown gen copy

This obscure demo is probably a fake. However, it has acquired a certain fame in the

trading circle of Pink Floyd fans. We included it here, in order to let you make your own

opinion. It has surfaced on the same tape that contains the (fake) demo of "Interstellar

Overdrive" (one can hear the beginning of "Interstellar Overdrive" right after the end of

"Julia Dream"). So, this was probably recorded by the same guys.

16 - Julia Dream (Waters) - mono 02:31
