CD1

1 - Lucy Leave (uncredited) 02:51
2 - I'm a King Bee (written by Moore recorded by Slim Harpo) 03:03
Recorded : London, Thompson Recording Studios, May 15, 1965
Primary source : EMIdisc acetate
Source for the tree : "A Fish out of Water" RoIO CD & "Outtakes from Outer Space" RoIO CD
These two (unreleased) songs appear on a two-sided 7" acetate discovered early 1988. Whilst some experts consider this as a fake, Miles reproduces in his book a setlist including "Lucy Leave" for the gig the band played on October 14, 1966.

3 - Let's Roll Another One (Barrett) 03:09
Recorded : London, Thompson Recording Studios, October 31, 1966
Primary source : ?
Source for the tree : unkown gen copy from outtake
Instrumental rehearsals for this song that later became "Candy and a Current Bun".
This obscure outtake probably comes from the October 1966 session at Thompson Recording Studios (where the first studio version of "Interstellar Overdrive" was also recorded, and later used in the "San Francisco" movie).

4 - Arnold Layne (Barrett) - acetate 02:34
Recorded : London, Sound Techniques Studios, January 23-25, 1967
Primary source : EMIdisc acetate
Source for the tree : "Anthology II" RoIO CD
Fades in 2 seconds after the actual start, strange edit skipping organ solo.

5 - Arnold Layne (Barrett) - mono 02:53
Recorded : London, Sound Techniques Studios, January 23-25, 1967
Primary source : "Arnold Layne" single (1st single), released March 11, 1967
Source for the tree : "The Pink Floyd Early Singles" CD

6 - Arnold Layne (Barrett) - fake stereo 02:51
Recorded : London, Sound Techniques Studios, January 23-25, 1967
Primary source : "The Best of the Pink Floyd" compilation, released 1970
& "Masters of Rock" compilation, released 1973

7 - Candy and a Current Bun (Barrett) - acetate 01:59
Recorded : London, Sound Techniques Studios, January 23-25, 1967
Primary source : EMIdisc acetate
Source for the tree : "Anthology II" RoIO CD
Alternate lyrics ("please just walk with me" while on the regular single version it's "please just f*** with me"), different verse structure, no organ and guitar solos.
Some people refer to this version as being "Let's Roll Another One" from October 1966 sessions at Thompson Recording Studios, but since the instrumental tracks are the same as the regular single version, this probably comes from the same January 1967 sessions at Sound Techniques Studios.

8 - Candy and a Current Bun (Barrett) - mono 02:43
Recorded : London, Sound Techniques Studios, January 23-25, 1967
Primary source : "Arnold Layne" single (1st single), released March 11, 1967
Source for the tree : "The Pink Floyd Early Singles" CD

9 - Interstellar Overdrive (Barrett, Waters, Wright, Mason) - demo 06:57
Recorded : ?
Primary source : ?
Source for the tree : unknown gen copy
This obscure demo is probably a fake. However, it has acquired a certain fame in the trading circle of Pink Floyd fans. We included it here, in order to let you make your own opinion. Some say it was recorded on a cheap cassette recorder, by two guys playing guitar simultaneously, sometime during the 80s. Note that the first riff after the intro is identical to the bass riff that can be heard on the "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" version, and that earlier versions of the song (on "San Francisco" soundtrack or "Tonite Let's All Make Love in London" soundtrack) don't contain this particular riff. This leads to the conclusion that this "demo" was probably recorded after the release of "The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" album.

10 - Interstellar Overdrive (Barrett, Waters, Wright, Mason) - Sound Techniques outtake 10:43
Recorded : London, Sound Techniques Studios, January 31 - February 1, 1967
Primary source : CBC Canadian Radio broadcast, early 1967
Source for the tree : "Stone Rust" RoIO CD & "Dark Globe" RoIO CD
& "The Sights And Sounds Of Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd" RoIO CD
Extracts from the 3rd studio version of "Interstellar Overdrive" can be heard in the background, during an interview broadcast in early 1967 by CBC Canadian Radio.
Pink Floyd recorded 4 different studio versions of "Interstellar Overdrive". The first version was recorded in October 1966 at Thompson Recording Studios, and was later used in the 1968 "San Francisco" movie. The second version was recorded on January 11, 1967, at Sound Techniques Studios, and was used in the "Tonite Let's All Make Love in London" movie. The third version was recorded during the "Arnold Layne" / "Candy and a Current Bun" sessions at Sound Techniques Studios. Only extracts from this version have surfaced, they can be heard in the background during the CBC broadcast from early 1967. The fourth version was recorded at Abbey Road in March 1967, and is the regular version that can be found on "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" album.

11 - Interstellar Overdrive (Barrett, Waters, Wright, Mason) - Abbey Road outtake 00:40
Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, March 14-15, 1967

12 - Interstellar Overdrive (Barrett, Waters, Wright, Mason) - mono single version 05:13
Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, March 14-15, 1967
Primary source : "Arnold Layne" French EP, released 1967
Source for the tree : "Anthology II" RoIO CD
This version is unique, because it only contains the basic track, without overdubs. It fades out before the actual end of the song.

13 - Scarecrow (Barrett) - Abbey Road outtake 01:05
Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, March 19-20, 1967
Primary source : BBC broadcast, 1967
Source for the tree : unknown gen copy from BBC broadcast
Outtake from "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" sessions, broadcast by the BBC in 1967. All the instruments are heavily undermixed. This is nearly an unplugged version J.

14 - Scarecrow (Barrett) - mono 02:07
Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, March 19-20, 1967
Primary source : "See Emily Play" single (2nd single), released June 16, 1967

15 - Astronomy Dominé (Barrett) - Abbey Road outtake 03:26
Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, April 11-12, 1967
Primary source : BBC broadcast, 1967
Source for the tree : unknown gen copy from BBC broadcast
Outtake from "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" sessions, broadcast by the BBC in 1967, including an interview with Floyd's manager Peter Jenner.

16 - See Emily Play (Barrett) - actetate 02:49
Recorded : London, Sound Techniques Studios, May 18 & 21, 1967
Primary source : EMIdisc acetate
Source for the tree : "Dawn Of The Piper" RoIO CD
This version is very close to the regular one, there are only slight changes in the mix (vocals are undermixed, organ is more in the front...). Note that the very end is uncut.

17 - See Emily Play (Barrett) - mono 02:52
Recorded : London, Sound Techniques Studios, May 18 & 21, 1967
Primary source : "See Emily Play" single (2nd single), released June 16, 1967
Source for the tree : "The Pink Floyd Early Singles" CD

18 - See Emily Play (Barrett) - fake stereo 02:49
Recorded : London, Sound Techniques Studios, May 18 & 21, 1967
Primary source : "The Best of the Pink Floyd" compilation, released 1970
& "Masters of Rock" compilation, released 1973

19 - Flaming (Barrett) - mono 02:43
Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, June 7 & 27, 1967
Primary source : "Flaming" US single (3rd US single), released November 2, 1967.
Source for the tree : "A CD Full of Secrets" CD
"Flaming" was not on the first US release of "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" album, and was then released as a single. This version is different from the regular (stereo) mix: background noises are mixed much louder.
In fact, this version is identical to the version on the mono edition of "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" album. Curiously, on the 30th Anniversary Mono Edition CD released in 1997, one chord of the final chords sequence was edited out.

20 - Sunshine (uncredited) 01:31
Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, June 29, 1967
Primary source : ?
Source for the tree : "Dawn Of The Piper" RoIO CD
This track was probably recorded during the "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" sessions. Malcom Jones, in his book "The Making of the Madcap Laughs", suggests this is an early version of "Remember a Day". Some think it's in fact a part of "Matilda Mother", that was recorded the same day ...

21 - Silas Lane (uncredited) 02:39
Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, June 1967
Primary source : ?
Source for the tree : "Vegetable Man, Where Are You" RoIO LP
This outtake was probably recorded during the "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" sessions. These are the early chords of Barrett's song "Swan Lee (Silas Lang)". Note that the piano and jazz tunes may be due to a technical error while dubbing the original multitrack master tape onto cassette. The definitive version of "Swan Lee" was recorded by Barrett one year later and released on "Opel" in 1988. Some think this outtake comes from a Barrett solo session.

22 - Scream Thy Last Scream (Barrett) - mono 04:27
Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, August 7-8, 1967
Primary source : EMIdisc acetate
Source for the tree : unknown gen copy
This was intended to be the A-side of Pink Floyd's fourth single (after "Apples and Oranges" single). But due to Syd's departure from the band, it remained unreleased.

Source for the tree : 1st gen copy from "Remember A Day" promo single
There's an edit during the intro, the 2nd verse ("Now is the time to be aware...") is missing, the beginning of the instrumental part after the last verse was cut, and there's an early fade out.

11 - Corporal Clegg (Waters) - video version 02:50
Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, January 31, 1968
Primary source : Belgian promo video
Source for the tree : unknown gen copy from Belgian promo video
This mono version has an alternate ending: the last chorus (just after "His boots were very clean") and the following instrumental part are alternate takes from the regular version.

Primary source : "It Would Be So Nice" single (4th single), released April 12, 1968
Source for the tree : "The Pink Floyd Early Singles" CD
Due to the "Evening Standard" mention in the original lyrics, the Floyd was forced to return in the studio to change it into "Daily Standard". The original "Evening Standard" version doesn't seem to have surfaced.

Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, February 12-13 & March 5-12-21, 1968
Primary source : "It Would Be So Nice" UK promo single, released April 12, 1968

The central "It would be so nice" chorus is only sung once, and the first lines of the second verse ("Everybody cares about the weather ... what a waste of time") are edited.

15 - Julia Dream (Waters) - demo 03:14
Recorded : ?
Primary source : ?
Source for the tree : unknown gen copy
This obscure demo is probably a fake. However, it has acquired a certain fame in the trading circle of Pink Floyd fans. We included it here, in order to let you make your own opinion. It has surfaced on the same tape that contains the (fake) demo of "Interstellar Overdrive" (one can hear the beginning of "Interstellar Overdrive" right after the end of "Julia Dream"). So, this was probably recorded by the same guys.

16 - Julia Dream (Waters) - mono 02:31

A Tree Full of Secrets

the definitive Pink Floyd rarities compilation



Introduction

On 18 CDs (yes, eighteen!) you'll find all the A and B sides of all the Pink Floyd singles, all the promo, edited, obscured, or remixed versions, and all the soundtracks bits of your favorite Pink Floyd and solo tracks.
Basically, this collection includes (nearly) all songs officially released, but not on regular album (compilations, singles, promos, soundtracks...), as well as rare versions from acetates and studio outtakes. We didn't consider live tracks (concerts, radio or TV appearances), unless they're part of a single or a promo single. We also left out of this scope the Syd Barrett solo rarities, because it mainly consists in slightly different mixes of regular versions (we'd like to let a more hardcore fan than we are, doing the job). Some other things are not included, mainly because they could be treed separately, as a whole entity: "Live At Pompeii" and "The Wall" soundtracks, mono editions of albums ("The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn", "A Saucerful Of Secrets"), quadraphonic editions of albums ("Atom Heart Mother", "The Dark Side Of The Moon", "Wish You Were Here")...
There are in fact 17 audio CDs and one data CD. This latter CD contains all the artworks and booklets (with all you ever dreamt to know about each track of each CD!), and some bonus files (that we hope you'll enjoy) while keeping the secret about their contents.
We tried to make the most definitive Pink Floyd rarities compilation, in both completeness and sound quality. For each track, we tried to find the best sounding version available. As a result, we're proud to say that a lot of tracks sound better than any other version available elsewhere.


Rules

What we mean with the word "rarity":

1) Song officially released, but not on regular albums (compilations, singles, soundtracks...) [1]
2) Alternate mix (acetate...)
3) Outtake from unreleased studio session
4) Demo

[1] with an exception for the stuff being a part of a whole "entity"
(most of them are available separately, as other projects).
For instance, the following stuff is not included:
- "Live At Pompeii" soundtrack
- "The Wall" soundtrack
- mono "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn", "A Saucerful Of Secrets"
- quadraphonic "Atom Heart Mother", "Dark Side Of The Moon", "Wish You Were Here"
- "Delicate Sound Of Thunder" video
- "P*U*L*S*E" video

"Chronological" rules for tracklist:

1) tracks are sorted by recording date, not release date [2]
2) different versions of the same track with same recording date are sorted by release date [3]
3) singles from the same album are listed in the same order than on the album [4]
[2] with an exception for the demos, placed before the actual release, to save "continuity" and to hear how the song evolved from the demo to the released version.
[3] if the release date is the same or unknown, the versions are sorted from the most "usual" to the most "unusual": single version -> extended version -> promo version
[4] unless the recording dates are known with precision for each track (in this case, see rule nr.1)
Contents

There are in fact 17 audio CDs and 1 data CD. This latter CD contains all the artworks and booklets, and some bonus files.
Now, how are all these tracks organized into 17 audio CDs?
The first 8 CDs contain the Pink Floyd rarities (from 1965 to 1994).
The next 6 CDs contain the soundtracks (from Pink Floyd and members).
The last 3 CDs contain the solo members rarities.
The 17 CDs are split into 9 volumes (each volume is a 2 CD set, except volume 9, which is a single CD). So, there are 9 different artworks, and the whole Rarities compilation will take the place of 9 jewel boxes in your CD collection.
