1 - Merry Xmas Song (uncredited) 02:05

Recorded : ?

Primary source : ?

Source for the tree : "All Movement is Accomplished" RoIO CD

Impromptu song, probably sung by Nick Mason, with John Peel and Alan Stiles (Floyd

roadie to whom the song "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" on "Atom Heart Mother" album is

dedicated). Some say it was recorded during the Zabriskie Point sessions in Rome,

December 1969. Other think it's from 1974 or 1975. One thing is almost certain though:

it must have been recorded in December... ;-)

2 - Shine on you Crazy Diamond (Gilmour, Waters, Wright) - part 1 03:52

Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, January - July 1975

Primary source : "Have A Cigar" French single, released 1975

It fades out just before "Syd's theme" (the "four notes" guitar riff).

3 - Shine on you Crazy Diamond (Gilmour, Waters, Wright) - promo edit 06:09

Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, January - July 1975

Primary source : "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" promo single, released 1975

Source for the tree : "Anthology I" RoIO CD

This version fades in during Part 3 (last guitar solo before vocals), continues with the first

verse of Part 4 ("Remember when you were young ... you legend, you martyr, and

shine"), then jumps to Part 7 (third verse: "Nobody knows where you are ... for truth and

delusion, and shine"), and fades out during the end of Part 8.

4 - Shine on you Crazy Diamond (Gilmour, Waters, Wright) - 1981 edit 10:35

Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, January - July 1975

Primary source : "A Collection of Great Dance Songs" compilation, released November 23, 1981

Source for the tree : "A Collection of Great Dance Songs" CD

Part 3 (last guitar solo before vocals) is skipped, Part 4 and Part 7 are linked (so that the

three verses are continuous), and there's a fade out after the last verse (just before Part 8).

5 - Shine on you Crazy Diamond (Gilmour, Waters, Wright) - UK short version 04:48

Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, January - July 1975

Primary source : "Selected Tracks from Shine On" UK promo CD, released 1992

Source for the tree : "Selected Tracks from Shine On" UK promo CD

On the promo sampler, this version is called "radio edit", but it's in fact a short version of

the song (there is no "edit"): it fades in at the beginning of Part 4 ("Remember when you

were young ...") and fades out at the end of Part 5 (sax solo).

6 - Shine on you Crazy Diamond (Gilmour, Waters, Wright) - US short version 05:13

Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, January - July 1975

Source for the tree : "Shine On - Selections from the Box" US promo CD

This version is also called "radio edit" on the US promo sampler, although it's slightly

different from the "radio edit" on the UK promo sampler. Again, there's no "edit" and it's

in fact a short version: it fades in during the end of Part 3 (last guitar solo before vocals)

and fades out early during Part 5 (sax solo).

7 - Shine on you Crazy Diamond (Gilmour, Waters, Wright) - "storm" mix 27:48

Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, January - July 1975

Primary source : ?

Source for the tree : unknown gen copy

Parts 1 to 9 linked together, remixed with storm noises in the background. It is said that

this track was remixed by or for the BBC, but it 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.

8 - Shine on you Crazy Diamond (Gilmour, Waters, Wright) - "to the galaxy" 01:22

Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, January - July 1975

Primary source : "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" radio show

Source for the tree : unkown gen copy

During one of the scenes in the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" radio series (an

adaptation of Douglas Adams' novel), the opening of "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" can

be heard in the background and one of the characters (Arthur) says "Ford, do you realize

that robot can hum like Pink Floyd ?".

9 - Have A Cigar (Waters) - short version 04:13

versions fade out during the final guitar solo.

Recorded : London, Abbey Road Studios, January - July 1975

Primary source : "Have A Cigar" US promo single, released November 15, 1975

the final guitar solo.

14 - Money (Waters) - 1981 version 06:41

Recorded : 1982

Primary source : "When the Tigers Broke Free" single, released July 26, 1982

Source for the tree : "Roger Waters - The Wall Berlin '90" promo CD

This song is the only soundtrack extract from "The Wall" movie that was eventually

officially released. In the film, it was split into two parts (with more choir intro and

outro). The orchestra is mixed louder on this version, which also has more drum rolls.

17 - Bring the Boys Back Home (Waters) - single version 01:40

Recorded : 1982

Primary source : "When the Tigers Broke Free" single, released July 26, 1982

Source for the tree : "Total Eclipse" RoIO CD

This song was re-recorded for the film, without Roger's voice (there's only the choir). On

this single version, the orchestral bridge is longer than on the album version (also note

that the flute theme is not in the film version) and with three reprises of "Bring the boys

back home", when there's only one on the album.

18 - "The Final Cut" radio avert 01:05

Recorded : 1982

Primary source : "Not Now John" single, released April 30, 1983

Source for the tree : "A CD Full of Secrets" CD

Since the original version has lyrics that say "F*** all that", David Gilmour came back in

the studio to make a radio-friendly version ("Stuff all that") for the single release. Note

that they just recorded "Stuff all that" loud enough to drown the original, which is still

there. The intro is slightly different from the album version (no laugh), and this version

fades out before the lyrics "Where's the fucking bar John?".

20 - Not Now John (Waters) - promo edit 03:46

Recorded : 1982

Primary source : "Not Now John" Argentinian promo single, released 1983

Source for the tree : "Not Now John" Argentinian promo single

This version is not obscured (it has the F*** word). It begins directly with the vocals (no

intro), and the lines "Hold on John, I think there's something good on … it could be

reusable shows" were skipped.

21 - The Hero's Return (Waters) - parts 1 & 2 03:54

Recorded : 1982

Primary source : "Not Now John" single, released April 30, 1983

Source for the tree : "Total Eclipse" RoIO CD
