This double disc set conatins 27 tracks - 19 previously unreleased - including rare tracks, early versions, BBC radio sessions, singles, B-sides, remixes, and live recordings. Pink Floyd were founded in 1965 by students Syd Barrett on guitar and lead vocals, Nick Mason on drums, Roger Waters on bass and vocals, and Richard Wright on keyboards and vocals. They gained popularity performing in London's underground music scene during the late 1960s, and under Barrett's leadership released two charting singles and a successful debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967). Guitarist David Gilmour joined in December 1967; Barrett left in April 1968 due to deteriorating mental health. Waters became the band's primary lyricist and eventually their dominant songwriter, devising the concepts behind their post-1972 releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e    Tracks\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    Credits\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e    - Disc 1 -\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    1 Arnold Layne 2:56\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    2 See Emily Play 2:54\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    3 Matilda Mother (2010 Mix) 3:59\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    4 Jugband Blues (2010 Mix) 3:01\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    5 Paintbox 3:46\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    6 Flaming (Live BBC Radio Session, 25 September 1967) 2:42\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    7 In the Beechwoods (2010 Mix) 4:42\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    8 Point Me at the Sky 3:37\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    9 Careful with That Axe, Eugene (Single Version) 5:44\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    10 Embryo (From \"Picnic,\" Harvest Records Sampler) 4:42\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    11 Ummagumma Us Radio Ad 0:22\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    12 Grantchester Meadows (Live BBC Radio Session, 12 May 1969) 3:46\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    13 Cymbaline (Live BBC Radio Session, 12 May 1969) 3:39\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    14 Interstellar Overdrive (Live at the Paradiso, Amsterdam, 9 August 1969) 4:23\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    15 Green Is the Colour (Live BBC Radio Session, 12 May 1969) 3:21\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    16 Careful with That Axe, Eugene (Live BBC Radio Session, 12 May 1969) 3:27\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    - Disc 2 -\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    1 On the Highway (From the \"Zabriskie Point\" Soundtrack Recordings) 1:16\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    2 Auto Scene Version 2 (From the \"Zabriskie Point\" Soundtrack Recordings) 1:14\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    3 The Riot Scene (From the \"Zabriskie Point\" Soundtrack Recordings) 1:39\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    4 Looking at Map (From the \"Zabriskie Point\" Soundtrack Recordings) 1:55\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    5 Take Off (From the \"Zabriskie Point\" Soundtrack Recordings) 1:19\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    6 Embryo (Live BBC Radio Session, 16 July 1970) 10:13\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    7 Atom Heart Mother (Live in Montreux, 21 November 1970 (Band Only)) 17:56\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    8 Nothing, Pt. 14 (Echoes Work in Progress) 7:01\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    9 Childhood's End (2016 Remix) 4:33\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    10 Free Four (2016 Remix) 4:16\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    11 Stay (2016 Remix) 4:08\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003ePersonnel: Syd Barrett (vocals, guitar); Richard Wright (vocals, keyboards); Roger Waters (vocals); Nick Mason (drums).\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA double-disc distillation of the massive box The Early Years 1965-1972, The Early Years 1967-1972 condenses that 28-disc set into a 27-track compilation. Naturally, most of the real rarities remain exiled to the big box, but that's fair: only the diehards will recognize the importance of Floyd's collaboration with artist John Latham. Instead, The Early Years 1967-1972 tells the same tale as The Early Years 1967-1972 but in an easily digestible form. The double-disc relies relatively heavily on familiar songs -- it opens with \"Arnold Layne\" and \"See Emily Play,\" perhaps the two best-known Syd Barrett songs, and finds space for \"Careful with That Axe, Eugene\" and \"Free Four\" -- but what distinguishes 1967-1972 is that it's the first early Floyd compilation to trace their journey from Barrett's warped psychedelia to the majestic art rock of the early '70s. Some essential songs are missing -- this doesn't sample the albums, after all, so songs as varied as \"Astronomy Domine,\" \"Let There Be More Light,\" and \"One of These Days\" are all absent -- but the repetition of \"Careful with That Axe, Eugene\" and \"Embryo\" illustrates how the band rapidly gained confidence and ambition, which is essentially the story of this compilation and its parent set. Certainly, the details of the box are missed, but on its own terms, The Early Years 1967-1972 is absorbing: it illustrates how Pink Floyd became Pink Floyd. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: NEW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedia Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: ROCK\/CLASSIC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Type: 2XCD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 11\/11\/2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pink Floyd","offers":[{"title":"- ROCK\/CLASSIC *NEW*","offer_id":54580696908113,"sku":"ZV3AQD-18LH-65","price":20.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1030\/9297\/8001\/files\/pink-floyd-the-early-years-1967-1972-creation_JZnFP.jpg?v=1786775965","url":"https:\/\/ilovevinylrecords.com\/products\/pink-floyd-the-early-years-1967-1972-cre-ation","provider":"I Love Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
