Re: (TV) Re: OT: Uncut/Mojo TV articles - Pink Floyd compilation

["Philip P. Obbard" <pobbard@yahoo.com>]

The funny thing is, I'm not much of a Floyd fan either! The only albums I own
on CD are PIPER, FINAL CUT, EARLY SINGLES, and old cassette copies of SAUCERFUL
and DARK SIDE. I even sold off all of my solo Syd stuff a few years ago. Oh
yeah, I also have a copy of AMUSED TO DEATH (autographed by Neil Postman, who
wrote the book "Amusing Ourselves to Death")

Yes, I knew "Jugband" was on SAUCERFUL  - Syd's only vocal on that LP, too - my
point was more that it wasn't a very strong track, or representative of Pink
Floyd in 1968. You're right - "Clegg" is a nice little oft-forgotten nugget.

Anyhow, before I resign myself NOT to keep this thread alive, here's the
proposed track list for ECHOES, the forthcoming Floyd retrospective:

Arnold Layne
See Emily Play
Astronomy Domine
Bike
Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun
Jugband Blues
One of These Days
Echoes
Time
The Great Gig in the Sky
Money
Us and Them
Wish You Were Here
Shine On You Crazy Diamond
Sheep
Another Brick in the Wall Pt. II
The Happiest Days of Our Lives
Hey You
Comfortably Numb
When the Tigers Broke Free
Fletcher Memorial Home
Learning to Fly
Sorrow
Marooned (excerpt)
Keep Talking
High Hopes
