'Careful With These Tracks'

Manchester College Of Commerce 2nd May 1969
Birmingham Mother's 27th April 1969

56 minutes, Stereo Soundboard Recordings.

Yellow Cow Records - YCCD016

Includes artwork (cover insert, disc & tray) and MD5.

01. Astronomy Domine - 8.46 (Same as Ummagumma version, different mix)
02. Careful With That Axe, Eugene - 9.27 (Same as Ummagumma version, longer intro, no vocals in mix)
03. Interstellar Overdrive - 13.35 (Pulled from official release)
04. Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun - 9.51 (Same as Ummagumma version, different mix)
05. A Saucerful Of Secrets - 14.25 (Birmingham Mother's) (Ummagumma version uses a composite of this and the Manchester recording)

Yes folks, you have read the description correctly. This is lossy sourced but this is the best that has ever been available to date (i.e.never).

If you mess with this or re-release in any form then that's fine with us! We had nothing to do with it other than release it but if you could mention 'Yellow Cow Records' as being the original source for these tracks it would be appreciated : )

Prepare to have your fucking minds blown : )

Been waiting for this one to turn up, as a certain PF torrent tracker can't/won't host it... thanks a billion!

This is so nice

CWTAE with no blood-chilling scream

But it works

A pity IO's recording wasn't up to snuff - it's a great performance, like a perfect transition between the early tripped performances to the more focused and methodical ones of 70

A keeper

First off, I gotta say that I love this CD so freaking much! The version of "Interstellar Overdrive" that was cut from Ummagumma has been legendary in PF fan circles for years, that to finally hear it is a dream come true. The aggravating thing about it for years was that we all knew it was out there somewhere...John Peel got a copy, among others, and we all knew it was supposed to be great. It sure doesn't disappoint, and I would love to hear other high-quality PF shows from 1968-1969.

A question about "Astronomy Domine." The vocals are so different in this mix, it makes me wonder if Dave and Rick actually re-recorded them in the studio? I don't think even if you mixed the vocals together on this version and lowered them in the mix that you would end up with what's on Ummagumma. What does everyone else think? Are these the same vocals that made it on to Ummagumma?
