As we originally reported back on May 30th, a new, remastered, 20-bit reissue of Pink Floyd's "London 1966-1967", which features a full length studio version of "Interstellar Overdrive" and the otherwise unheard "Nick's Boogie", has just been released.
The tracks were recorded at the now defunct Sound Techniques Studio, London, on January 11th and 12th, 1967 for Peter Whitehead's "Tonight Let's Make Love In London" film.
The recording sessions were filmed, and some of the footage from the session and from Whitehead's film is included on the CD as bonus content, that can be viewed on PCs and Apple Mac computers.
We've taken a good look and listen at the CD, and our review can be read in the CD Reviews section. Being a new version of an existing title means that, for some, it might not be worth buying to add to the collection - read our review to find out.
The CD brings together a couple of very interesting recordings from the Syd Barrett-era line up; one of the tracks ("Nick's Boogie") is unreleased elsewhere, and was found lurking in a desk some twenty years after it was recorded. It got its first airing in public on the original release of this title, and has not appeared on any other albums or compilations, before or since.
The CD can be ordered through these special links: USA, Canada, UK/Elsewhere, Germany, or France. Any item bought from Amazon after getting to their site from our special links, helps with the running costs of this site, and we greatly appreciate it.
