- The Pink Floyd: July 16, 1970 and Sept 30, 1971

It's a bank holiday (equivalent) here in Turkey so I'm making the most of it by sitting inside and staring at the computer screen. Admittedly, this offering is one that I'm blatantly plundering from another website, but if it means more people get the chance to hear it then it's all good.




As far as I know, it was only ever people associated with the BBC that referred to Pink Floyd with the use of the definite article, but I've always liked this quirky habit and wished it had become commonplace. Which one was Pink?

I don’t want this to turn into a rival to the excellent perfumed garden site, mainly because I’d lose, but I’ve been a Floyd head since the age of 13 and can’t resist this one.

The links no longer work, but the downloads are available here.
