Quality:

Comments:  The cover lists Green Is The Colour and Careful With That 
           Axe, Eugene as separate tracks. The cover lists Granchester 
           Meadows as "Several Species..."

           Disc 2 is a large part of "The Man" and "The Journey," two
           concept pieces that Floyd put together out of their existing
           material.  "The Man" starts with "Granchester Meadows,"
           which could very well be "Several Species, Part 1," and
           continues through to "Cymbaline."   "The Journey," as
           performed at Royal Albert Hall, started with "Green is the
           Colour," followed by "Eugene," "The Narrow Way," "Pow R Toc
           H," an instrumental bit, and ended with the "Celistial
           Voices" part of "ASOS."  The instrumental bit sounds a lot
           like a track called "Labyrinth" that I have on a vinyl
           roio.  Not having this disc, however, makes it a bit more
           difficult for me to say exactly what it is...;-)   -ANON

           Disc 1 opens with "Green" and "Eugene" on a single track, not 
           two seperate tracks as listed on the cover. These, I assume, 
           are from the July 1969 BBC recordings. Track 2 is "Crumbling," 
           taken from the Rome, 1969 session, I imagine. 3 is NOT "The 
           Narrow Way." It's an instrumental that I can't identify (from 
           the "...Point" soundtrack?). I'm sure most long-time ROIO folks 
           would know it. 4 is "Point Me...," from the Top Gear session. 5 
           is "Saucerful," 6 is "Let There," 7 is "Murderistic." No origin 
           info on these. 8 is "Oneone/Fingal's," taken from June 1969 
           session. 

           Disc 2 opens with an announcement (in Dutch). The announcer 
           confirms that this is the 17 Sept 1969 Concertgebouw show in 
           Amsterdam and finishes by saying "Granchester Meadows." (Which 
           Double-Time then listed as "...Pict.") The sound is pretty 
           terrifying -- sounds like a broadcast from a passing spaceship. 
           I am a novice collector, so maybe this a famous broadcast and 
           the quality is well known. If not, get a better copy. Tracks 2 
           and 3 are continuous with applause in the middle. (3, of 
           course, is a bit of Inna-gadda-Nick-Mason.) 3 fades, 4 begins 
           with announcement (in Dutch). The announcer calls the song 
           "Sleep." Lots of funky effects. Becomes "Cymbaline," ends with 
           fade. 5 is "Labyrinth" from the same show, ends with 
           announcement in Dutch. 6 opens with announcement in Dutch of 
           "Green" and "Eugene" (track 7, which fades out during the 
           climactic bit). 8 is another version of "Saucerful." (Don't 
           know origin.) "The Narrow Way" is track 9. (No source info.) 
           Ends with wind noise which carries into another version of 
           "Green." 

           Overall, not bad. Not great either. (Unless there are no better 
           sounding versions of these tunes, in which case it's a good 
           bargain.)
