## Description

"&"lsquo;RELICS"&"rsquo;, Pink Floyd"&"rsquo;s first "&"lsquo;compilation"&"rsquo; album, includes singles, B-sides, tracks from their first three albums "&"lsquo;The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn"&"rsquo;, "&"lsquo;A Saucerful of Secrets"&"rsquo; and "&"lsquo;More"&"rsquo;. Also, the then-previously unreleased Roger Waters song, Biding My Time, recorded in July 1969 and first released on "&"lsquo;Relics"&"rsquo; in May 1971. "&"lsquo;Relics"&"rsquo; was the first album to include Arnold Layne and See Emily Play, which previously had only been released as singles, and the original studio recording of Careful with That Axe, Eugene, the B-side of Point Me At The Sky in 1968."&"nbsp;Keeping true to the original artwork, the sleeve features the black and white drawings by Nick Mason, carrying the iconic subtitle "&"lsquo;A Bizarre Collection of Antiques "&"amp; Curios"&"rsquo;. All tracks are the original stereo versions, which sit alongside the Syd Barrett-era, mono mixed singles Arnold Layne and See Emily Play.

Review: A Bizarre Collection of Antiques and Curios - Released in 1971, this album isn't so much of a 'greatest hits' as it is a collection of interesting classic songs and singles that were being re-released just as Pink Floyd was entering its most productive and memorable years. "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play" were two early and successful Pink Floyd singles from 1967 written by the band's founder and leader at the time, Sid Barrett. "Interstellar Overdrive" was one of their early psychedelic instrumentals also from 1967. "Remember a Day" is a Richard Wright song about childhood that was originally released on the album "A Saucerful of Secrets", while "Paintbox" is another piece written by Wright during the same period. "Julia Dream" is a haunting yet beautiful song by Roger Waters that foreshadows the song writing skills that would make him legendary in future years. "Careful with That Axe, Eugene" is another classic instrumental, but this one is from David Gilmour's early time with the band after Barrett had left. "Cirrus Minor" and "The Nile Song" are from Pink Floyd's third album, "More", which is the soundtrack to a movie of the same title. "The Nile Song" rocks harder than most Pink Floyd music from that time. "Biding My Time" is an interesting one from Roger Waters, complete with a horn section to round out the sound. "Bike" is an odd one written by Sid back in 1967. Very quirky and psychedelic. All of the songs can bring you back to the long-gone, carefree days of the British psychedelic scene of late 60s, even if you weren't there in the first place. This disc rounds out any Pink Floyd collection by giving you a sampling of some of their best work from the early years.
Review: Pink Floyd’s first compilation album 1971 - This is a great compilation album of Pink Floyd singles. There are quite a few Syd Barrett songs on this album and it fills out my collection.
