Capitol Records is NOT the original label for this album. RedWolf 16:22, Sep 19, 2004 (UTC)

Title
Anyone know where the title for the album comes from? KrisW6 16:40, 7 October 2005 (UTC)


 * I believe it refers to flying saucers. --Talisen 19:25, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, maybe Syd Barrett himself discovered the secret of Flying Saucers (you reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon), and became mad. Anyway, they used to play in that club named UFO, and possibly there is some reference on that.--Doktor Who 19:39, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Vegetable man
Ive added this to the article because i think that it is relevant. If u believe otherwise you can take it off. I also think that an article talking about both "vegetable man" and "scream thy last scream" should be created even though they were never officially released. - Ummagumma23 12 november 2006

The vocals on Corporal Clegg
That's twice now someone's changed "Nick Mason" to "Richard Wright" on the list of singers for the track "Corporal Clegg" (see main article). Why is this? --The guy with the axe - aaaaaaargh!!! 19:47, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Cause Mason doesn't sing on that track, or any Pink Floyd song for that matter (save for spoken-word on "One of These Days"). Listen to the chorus of the song (starting with the lyric "Mrs. Clegg...."). That's Wright in the background. -- Barrelofagun69

If Wright is in the background in the refrain, that's not a LEAD vocal. Mason does sing the "He won it in the war" section in the verse, as you would know if you'd read the song's article or Mason's own article. Therefore, I'm about to put the article right a third time. --The guy with the axe - aaaaaaargh!!! 19:38, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Well I mispoke. The "Mrs. Clegg" chorus. Listen to it. Does that sound like anybody else BESIDES Wright? Therefore, it's a lead vocal. I've never heard about Mason singing on the song before; it sure doesn't sound like him. But instead of deleting him, I'll simply add Wright at the end, since I know that's his voice on the chorus... Barrelofagun69

That'll do, I guess --The guy with the axe - aaaaaaargh!!! 17:12, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

And some jackass replaced Mason with Wright again. It wasn't me this time! I had added Wright to the end, after Waters. I don't know who replaced it that time. --Barrelofagun69


 * Okay, I'm with you guys about David and Nick singing on it, and I realize that that's Rick on the chorus and will call it a lead vocal if you guys insist, but where are you guys getting Roger? I have never heard anything about Roger singing any part of the song. I don't even see anybody mentioning that he's listed there, or discussing whether he sings on it. What part of that song could he be singing?
 * --Rock Soldier 22:14, 3 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Come to think of it, Waters only seems to sing harmony on that one. The guy with the axe - aaaaaaargh!!! 10:01, 19 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm removing it then. What did we decide on the issue of how "lead" the vocals that Rick sings are?
 * ---Rock Soldier 23:20, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


 * This response is long overdue, of course. But if we don't consider Waters's vocals "lead", then I'd say Wright's vocals aren't, either.  Therefore, the article will now read: David Gilmour and Nick Mason.  --The guy with the axe - aaaaaaargh!!! (talk) 22:46, 2 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Further to my last. I was just about to change it when I noticed that SOMEBODY had removed Mason AGAIN!  --The guy with the axe - aaaaaaargh!!! (talk) 22:50, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Wright vocals & "Corporal Clegg"
There seems to be some dispute as to whether Wright sings part of the lead on "Corporal Clegg." What part does he supposedly sing lead on? I don't hear any, unless the "Mrs. Clegg" part (with multiple harmonies and no clear lead voice) is supposed to be it? - (199.101.174.31 (talk) 19:37, 3 October 2011 (UTC))

Barrett on Corporal Clegg
Some source I've read in the late 15 years and over (since I'm a Floyd Fan), refer to the presence of Barrett playing guitar with Gilmour also in CORPORAL CLEGG. Is it true?--Olbia merda (talk) 07:44, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Doctor Strange

 * It is also worth mentioning that Doctor Strange can be seen on the albums cover. The Body/Legs of Doctor Strange can be seen in the middle-right hand of the album's cover.

Rick's songs deserve more consideration, I think. The fact that he later criticised them (he also criticised some of Roger's songs of the time) shouldn't be held against them. Not too much. As an aside, they don't have much in common with Syd's lyrics. They look back to childhood from an adult perspective, which Syd's songs don't tend to do ('childlike' is so vague: there are images of and from nursery rhymes and childhood on Piper, and vivid associations like those of childhood, but the skill and intelligence aren't those of a child. So... yeah. I think childlike does Piper a disservice). 105.224.90.236 (talk) 17:41, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * What's in the article is from what has been mentioned in the sources. Best, yeepsi (Talk tonight) 17:51, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

"Remember a Day" session notes
The sentence about the recording/overdubbing of "Remember a Day" made absolutely no sense. I edited it to make it coherent and split off the last part into another sentence. However, I'm not 100% certain that I understood the facts correctly. I relied on the entry for the song itself for guidance.D.Holt (talk) 04:07, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
