Pink Floyd – Transmissions (Limited Edition Double-LP on Clear Vinyl)

Documenting Pink Floyd’s early, post-Barrett era, this unmissable two-disc anthology draws upon four stunning live sessions recorded by the band across 1968 and 1969.

Featured, are stellar renditions of early Floyd classics such as Intersteller Overdrive, Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, A Saucerful of Secrets, Point Me at the Sky, Careful with That Axe, Eugene (then titled Beset by Creatures of the Deep) and many more.

Also included, is Pink Floyd’s famous performance of Moonhead from 20 July 1969 – a bluesy, atmospheric instrumental piece, the band improvised live on the air, used to underscore the BBC’s coverage of the Apollo 11 moon-landing.
