Comments:
Track 1: "Look Of The Week", BBC TV Centre, London. May 14, 1967. Without spoken intro from Hans Keller. From vinyl.
Tracks 2, 3: Unknown. Strange mix with much louder vocals.
Track 4: "Top Of The Pops", unconfirmed. It is a playback of 'See Emily Play' so it is impossible to verify the authenticy. Applause at the end (fades out).
Track 5: Top Gear broadcast, BBC Radio 1, London, UK. October 1st, 1967. Presented by Pete Drummond and John Peel
Track 6: Rare US B-side. Mono edit.
Track 7: Halfspeed of last verse.
Track 8: Is this the version with Syd?
Tracks 9: Garbled stereo lyrics.
Tracks 10-12: Recorded early 1972 by Steve Took (Vocals, noises, organ, congas) and Syd Barrett (Guitar). Very weird stuff! Most likely off the 1995 CD release of the Took Demos "The Missing Like To Tyrannosaurus Rex". It is very unlikely that it actually is Syd playing guitar on these tracks. The style is totally different. A fake I say.
Track 13: Fake?
Tracks 14-20: From the Syd Barrett 1974 sessions. I am leaning more and more towards that these demos are all fake.
