MY COMMENTS: All studio tracks. Fantastic SQ, though more than
probably sourced from vinyl (d'oh). Nice LP-like cover (probably just a scan of
the original LP), but some details are incomplete/untrue.
E.G. tracks 1&2 are in fact recorded in demo sessions 1965. The name Pink Floyd
was not yet being used and guitarist Bob Klose was part of the band at the time.
Track 3 is simply the +16min 'Tonight Let's All Make Love In London'- version.
'Flamingo' is of course 'Flaming.'
Track 11 a.k.a. Sunshine.
Though some tracks are the same than on the Harvested ROIO "Dawn of the Piper",
this one is a must-have for completist and early-years collectors, especially
for the outtakes included and the rare high quality sound. Except the last track
which sounds as it's been recorded through a tin can with a recorder having
speed problems. (the only drawback though)
