1967 ‘The Piper at the Gates od Dawn’ Recordings
007. Matilda Mother (2010 mix) 4.01
Previously avalaible on Syd Barrett’s compilation « An introduction … »
07-08.08.1967 Abbey road, London, UK
008. Vegetable Man (2010 mix) 2.32
009. Scream Thy Last Scream (2010 mix) 4.43
Seems confirm the rumour of the initial inclusion of these tracks for the 2010 Barrett’s compilation.
19.10.1967 De Lane Lea Studios, London, UK.
010. Jugband Blues (2010 mix) 3.01
20.10.1967 Sound Technique Studios, London, UK or 06.05.1968 CBS Studio.
011. In The Beechwoods (2010 mix) 4.43
An obvious upgrade of the track avalaible on “Have you got it yet ?”

019. John Latham Version 8† 2.49
020. John Latham Version 9† 2.38
The real big gift of this boxset since the existence of many takes wasn't knew until today.
xx.05.1968 Max Steuer basement, Londres, Angleterre & De Lane Studio, Londres, UK
021. Music from The Committee No. 1 1.06
022. Music from The Committee No. 2 3.25
A better quality is expected, but it’s very incomplete, apparently.
22.08.1968 Capital Studios, Los Angeles, USA
023. Song #1 3.19
024. Roger’s Boogie 4.35
A real discovery ! Song #1 seems to be the very first recording of Careful with that Axe, Eugène. According Glenn Povey’s book, Song #1 is the 6th take and Roger’s Boogie, the second (both are marked “best” on the sessions sheets).
xx.02.1969 ‘More’ Recording Sessions, Pye Recording Studio
025. Hollywood (non-album track) † 1.21
026. Theme (Beat version) (Alternative version) 5.38
027. More Blues (Alternative version) 3.49
028. Seabirds (non-album track) 4.20
What about Paris’ Bar, Stephan Tit (outtakes) or Cymbaline (alternative version) ? The tapes sold by eBay seems have not to be bought by the PF management, unlikely.
Great to hear the studio takes of these tracks however.
xx.12.1968 – xx.01.1969 ‘Ummagumma’ Recording Sessions
029. Embryo (from ‘Picnic’, Harvest Records sampler)
Available widely since many years. Where is the acetate of the narrow Way found recently and all the “Ummagumma” sessions stored at Abbey Road ?
07.1969 ‘Moonhead’ Live BBC TV
030. Moonhead 7.16
Common. I would prefer to have Pawn to King Five instead …
xx.11-12.1969 ‘Zabriskie Point’ Recording Sessions
031. On The Highway† 1.16
032. Auto Scene Version 2† 1.13

044. Unknown Song (Take 1)† 5.56
045. Love Scene (Take 2) 6.40
046. Crumbling Land (Take 1)† 4.09
Nothing new for Pink Floyd fan ? Need to compare with the Wromanus’ work ….
xx.01.1970 ‘Atom Heart Mother’, Abbey Road, London, UK Recording Sessions
047. Atom Heart Mother (Early studio version, band only) 19.15
Great news. Seems to be the basic tracks given to Geesin in order to work on it.
11.01.1971 ‘Meddle’ Recording Sessions , Air Studios, London, UK
048. Nothing Part 14 (Echoes work in progress) †
Maybe from the tape broadcasted during the ‘Producer Workshop’ radio show. It would have been interesting to have the One of these Days outtakes and the studio recording of the Blues the Floyd played often in live. Hoped to have more “Household …” outtakes like Bottles, Knozee, Wild Thing

063. Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun 7.17
064. See Emily Play 3.16
065. Interstellar Overdrive 8.57
The wait is over! The piece-de-resistance even if we had a off-air recording yet. Bought by the Floyd’s management in 2011. Oh by the way, Peter Jenner has confirmed (in April 2014) Oswley “Bear” Stanley has recorded the Filmmore gig in November the same year (as all gigs in Fillmore of this era). The Grateful Dead management has audio archives, so …
09.08.1969 Live at the Paradiso, Amsterdam, Netherlands

082. Footsteps / Doors† 3.12
083. Behold The Temple Of Light† 5.32
084. The End Of The Beginning (A Saucerful of Secrets)† 6.31
The Amsterdam and Paradiso shows were taped by VPRO and widely spreaded for years. No news under the sun. No traces of the three gigs recorded for the live Side of “Ummagumma” as the complete Mothers’gig or the partial recording of the Main Hall gig (26 April) ? Really ?
21.11.1970 ‘Festival de Montreux’, Montreux, Suisse
085. Atom Heart Mother 17.58
All serious fan have a bootleg of this gig (specially since some better sources were unearthed)
I have a contact inside the Europe 1 Radio archives. There are four tapes of the 23 january 1970 shows in pristine conditions (first two tapes for the live broadcast with the DJ speeches and the uncut tapes). The french radio had a request of the Floyd management but there are no news since, why ? Think it was the same thing for the other major french radio station, RTL, about the 1971 gig …
xx.11.1974 Wembley Stadium, London, UK
086. Echoes 24.10
Certainly to Fill the gape with the DSOTM and WYWH immersion boxsets. Guthrie confirmed this track was remasterised for the aborted “Meddle” Immersion Boxset.I'd rather to have the complete 71' Montreux show recorded by RTS in Swiss
