HT Giveaway: Piper At The Gates of Dawn

The 3-CD packaging, designed by longtime Floyd collaborator Storm Thorgerson, resembles a cloth-covered book with the original Vic Singh photo on the front, and holds 3 CDs, along with an 8-page reproduction of one of Syd Barrett’s notebooks. Newly remastered by James Guthrie, Discs 1 and 2 will contain the full ‘Piper’ album, represented in both stereo and mono versions. Disc 3 includes bonus tracks, including all of Pink Floyd’s singles from 1967 (“Arnold Layne,” “See Emily Play,” and “Apples And Oranges”), plus the B-sides “Candy And A Current Bun” and “Paintbox.” Other tracks include an exclusive edit of “Interstellar Overdrive,” previously available only on an EP released in France, and the 1967 stereo version of “Apples And Orange,” which has never before been officially released.

  1. there is no correct answer to best Floyd album

    that being said, I discovered PAtGoD the summer before my senior year in high school. My parents refer to that summer as “your summer of love”. First dead show, first floyd show, first experience with syd, etc. PAtGoD was my theme album for the summer. Looks like the new re-issue will contain a number of the songs of the Early Singles disc form the box set, which is nearly as awesome as Piper.

  2. Meddle is SPOT ON! That album meddle’s with the listeners’ physique, emotion, and reality in the time/space continium!

  3. You want crazy? Best is “A Momentary Lapse of Reason”.

    An appropriate album title for an appropriate answer.

  4. I think Waters is wearing the same blouse that Jermaine was wearing when he wanted to “look like Prince when he goes to the zoo or the grocery store.”
