More information: This new 3CD Boxed set celebrates and documents Floyd’s early, post-Barret era, the time the band released such legendary albums as A Saucerful of Secrets, Ummagumma, Atom Heart Mother and Meddle, and during which they produced a number of stunning sessions and live shows for FM radio broadcast.
DISC ONE features Pink Floyd’s July 1970 concert, recorded at London’s Paris Theatre in front of an invited audience and broadcast live as ‘John Peel’s Sunday Concert’ on 16th July ’70. Bonus Cuts on Disc One comprise the group’s session recorded for and transmitted by Radio One’s Top Gear programme on 2nd December 1968.

DISC THREE concludes this enticing set with a concert the band played at the Altes Casino in Switzerland on 21st November 1970, also recorded for live FM broadcast, and transmitted across most of mainland Europe.
