PINK FLOYD - Radio Sessions (BBC Session + Dutch Paradiso Live) 1969 - SPA Top Gear - LISTEN - VERY RARE

Another fantastic, fan-club CD lasting 80 minutes and containing four superb musical pieces from 1969 - all with sound of perfect quality! First a 20-minute, studio session recorded for John Peel in May 1969 - that is, in the period between the LPs "More" and "Ummagumma". The band made impressive use of the sounds of birds, wind, sea and so on and what is more simply played frenziedly! Right afterwards came the brilliant "Moonhead" - a 6-minute piece, never used in the studio, recorded live in the BBC studio in July 1969 - on the very day the Americans landed on the Moon. Then follows a 40-minute portion of a concert for Dutch radio - in ideal quality, but, as a result of a microphone failure, without vocals. Strangely, however, that is not a drawback at all, as most of the material is instrumental by nature anyway, and besides, at last you can hear all the nuances. At the end of the CD, as a bonus, is (until recently completely unknown) version of "Interstellar Overdrive", which at the last moment dropped out of the live part of the LP "Ummagumma". Together with a collection of nice photos from the period the whole thing looks exceptionally impressive! A must! (JL)
