Comments:  This is starting to become scarce and is a very good
           wrap up of early single recordings taken from pristine
           copies of the vinyl. One of the necessary naughty CD's.

           Mastering [very clean] vinyl. REQUIRED. - OSO

           A great collection of the first five singles from Pink
           Floyd, plus one withdrawn single. Mastered from very
           clean vinyl. Sound varies a little from track to track.
           For those interested in the early period of Floyd, I
           guess this is a must have.                   -TOR

           Very good sound quality. This CD presents much the same set
           as the bonus CD from the Shine On box set, but includes
           Vegetable Man and Scream Thy Last Scream, both of which will
           most likely never be released officially. The Early Singles
           CD from the Shine On box set includes The Scarecrow, which
           this CD does not.  -ECM
