Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article was a past project collaboration.

To-do list:

Fair use

Add fair use rationale to all images and sound samples (all except images already labeled free use).
Re-size large images around to 300 pixels (all "fair use" images), other than album covers (already done).

Articles

Expand all articles to at least Start class. Some song stubs can't be expanded and should be redirected to the relevant album article. Use the "Interstellar Overdrive" article as an example when editing a song stub.
Expand all of the Floyd's studio album articles to at least GA status.
See COTM for monthly collabs.

Project building

Add WikiProject Pink Floyd banner {{WPFloyd}} to all appropriate Talk pages.
Personally invite quality editors working on Pink Floyd articles to join the project.

If you complete one of these tasks, please remove it from the list.

Progressive Rock? —Preceding unsigned comment added by The electrician (talk • contribs)

Indeed. I've changed it to Blues-rock. Warrens 23:02, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Length y record[edit]

Please check the Length and the recording's date.

User:Mr. Manu 02:02, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If by length you mean the lengths of the tracks, they are correct -- at least they correspond with my edition of the album DeadCow 09:45, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bob Klose?[edit]

I've seen here and on the page about Bob Klose that he performed on the album, but the credits (at least in my copy of the album) rather mention Rado Klose???

Any explanation?

You should have just looked him up in Wiki. There's no mistake. Rado is his birth name. --78.84.184.201 (talk) 11:23, 29 December 2008 (UTC) He was even a member of Pink Floyd in the very beginning. --78.84.184.201 (talk) 11:27, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Inverted track order on bonus DVD[edit]

The order of the tracks on the bonus DVD, as featured on the page, is the complete opposite of how the DVD actually runs, track 8 being track 1, track 7 being track 2 etc. Ugo1970 (talk) 14:19, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
