02 - Let There Be More Light 07:26:13

"1966 Syd Home Demo"

07 - Interstellar Overdrive 06:21:34
notes: Unfortunately, this puppy is reputed--by some very "higher ups" in the Syd collectors food chain--to be a fake. :(

1968.06.25 Picadilly Studios, London - BBC appearance

08 - Massed Gadgets Of Hercules (early Saucerful) 06:40:69
notes: BBC appearance, early performence of Saucerful. Not sure why the name is as it is, since they were calling it Saucerful the month before...but whatever. Nice source.

1967.01.20 Mike Leonard's house, North London

09 - Lets Roll Another One 03:02:61
notes; Often said to be from "66/10/31", that is not true. Recorded by Irene Winsby, during a rehearsal at Mr. Leonard's house. This new information comes from very knowledgable Syd collectors, and is finally correct. It's almost certain that no recordings circulate from that 66/10/31 private recording session!!
As interesting as the recording is, it is unfortunately borderline atrocious. If there even were any, lyrics are unintelligible.

1967 - studio sessions

10 - Candy And A Currant Bun - drug lyrics 01:58:00
11 - Candy And A Currant Bun - clean lyrics 02:42:72
notes: Two studio versions of this b-side, one with the drug lyrics, one with wholesome clean lyrics that your grandma would allow... :)
The drug lyrics version wasn't officially released (no way would the "higher ups" allow that sort...), and is said to be sourced from a studio acetate. Kudos to that fine fellow who leaked it.
They both apparantly cull from the same instrumental backing track, with the first version edited a bit.
I won't comment on the recording dates.



(disc 2)

1968.05.23 (late set) Paradiso, Amsterdam - low gen source

01 - tuneups 00:34:24
02 - Keep Smiling People 10:09:00
03 - tuneups 01:04:19
04 - Let There Be More Light 08:04:58
05 - tuneups 01:14:11
06 - Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun 12:34:59
07 - tuneups 00:51:30
08 - Flaming 04:59:26
09 - tuneups 00:45:49
10 - A Saucerful Of Secrets 12:41:59
notes: the complete late show from this date. Keep Smiling People is an unrecorded instrumental that has some similarities with 'Careful With That Axe, Eugene'. Accolades of this are not limited to: early performence of Saucerful (possibly the 2nd time ever played live), and two fairly rare songs in live form. Another of my favorite shows, and also a nice recording considering the shoddy equipment available in those days.

1968.06.25 Picadilly Studios, London

11 - Murderistic Woman 02:20:43
notes: another early variation of what would become 'Careful With That Axe, Eugene'.

1968.12.28 Margriethal Jaarburs, Utrecht

12 - Careful With That Axe, Eugene 08:00:39
notes: Apparantly the first circulating recording of 'Careful With That Axe, Eugene' as most of us know it.

1969.04.14 Royal Festival Hall, London
13 - Beset By Creatures Of The Deep 08:26:16
notes: Live variation of Axe, as was part of the Man&Journey suites.
