This is one of the most peculiar radio documentaries about the
Floyd you're likely to hear. The premise is that the station are trying to track
down the Floyd for an interview, but they go about it in a most round-about
fashion. There's a wind-up right at the end, but they never did get to speak to
the band...
They did speak with Alan Parsons, Roy Harper, one of the band's technicians and
various others though and the show is somewhat enlightening about the 'Flying
Pig' incident over London, when it broke free of it's tethers while shooting the
pictures for the 'Animals' album cover. And the presenter speaks at length with
a rather bemused night-shift manager at Heathrow Air-Traffic Control...
Quality is reasonable, unknown gen, but I'd guess c. 3rd. The interviews in the
show are interspersed with tracks from the band's albums, and from the 1971
Paris Theatre BBC recording. These musical tracks are often cut, I assume to
save tape. I'd guess that the programme originally ran to around 60 minutes. I
don't believe that anything other than music is cut.
I got this from a prolific and high quality trader around '96.
