Pink Floyd Recorded An Album That Was Too Weird For Them

Pink Floyd Recorded An Album That Was Too Weird For Them

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
After the immediate worldwide success of Dark Side of the Moon and the lengthy tour that followed its release, Pink Floyd's album Harvest Records went on another chart-topping moneymaker and fast. But when the Dark Side tour ended in June of 1973, the band took a break and went their own ways for four months. By the time the members of Pink Floyd reconvened at Abbey Road Studios to record their next album, they realized they had no idea what to record next. How does a band top itself after they made one of the best selling albums of all time? If the band is Pink Floyd, they record an experimental concept piece without the use of any musical instruments. Today, we're going to take a closer look at Household Items, Pink Floyd's lost album that ended up being too weird even for them

I think that most of the great bands created at least one album that sucked shit through a bag. Too few bands create multiple masterpieces. Pink Floyd did it with Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall. Dark Side is the 3rd best selling rock albums of all time with Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band and Led Zeppelin IV being 1 & 2. Any guesses where The Wall, Pink Floyd's second real masterpiece places?

I saw Pink Floyd in 1994 at Earls court England it was Out of this World the music and the visual's were Awesome and unlike today i still have the ticket in pink with water mark and silver strip running through it. I will never come across anything that will compare to this in my lifetime.

Why even use footage if you are not going to get anything right? Just rotating pictures of the band from all eras rather than finding time-appropriate (1973-75) images that would bolster the story is sloppy and lazy. The narrative is not bad, but such inept visual storytelling.

What caused the album to fall off the Billboard Album Chart in 1988 was the advent of CDs. Prior to that people who loved the album kept buying a new copy to have the cleanest possible playback. Compact disks, of course, don't deteriorate with each additional play.

Obviously no one else has heard the R. Waters solo LPS Sounds from the Body with. I think the last name was. Grishen. Created around body sounds mixed with minimalist music. It is not very good but shows R. Waters interest in a sort of an industrial path.

Stopped watching the video after multiple mistakes about the band members. Mentioning Syd Barretts departure while fading out a picture of Richard Wright. Just shows me that whoever made this video doesnt know what they are talking about.

never play the album ummagumma on your good stereo when you have a dog, especially the song, Several Species of small fury animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pick, your dog will freak out.

Never heard about household objects, so for that this video was of some interest. For the remaining part I would have preferred you did your homework significantly better. This truly is weird history.

When Wish You Were Here was announced I waited for what seemed like forever until it was released. I was 17 and I bought the album the day it went on sale and I played that record until it was worn out.
reply

Strange, yes, it seems they could use such Sounds without performing, so with Creative Efforts, they later made their claims for their togetherness, yet themes will continue to make Pink so Excellent!
reply

It's kind of hard to call it a lost album if it never got made if there's only one and a half minutes worth of music totally from that session then it is probably better to just call it the lost 45

Harvest Records wanted another chart-topping moneymaker and fast.
And that's the problem with the Movie/Music/Videogame mainstream music industry. You don't rush art.
But anyway, here we are.

Greatest band ever! I was working at WB studios and found the exact spot where they took the shot for Wish You Were Here and recreated it with another guy I was working with! Very cool!
reply

Does this man really have a grip of his subject?
1. 29 A band that(before Dark Side) never ranked higher than 46
See Emily Play - their first major single - peaked at No6 in 1967!

reply

Is there a reason you removed Richard Wright when talking about Syd leaving, they are very different people. What do I think, I think you need to revisit who is Syd and who is Rick
reply

Small detail: every time you talk about Syd Barrett in the part about him showing up in the studio during the recording of shine on, you show a picture of Keyboardist Rick Wright!
reply

you really need to pull this video down and re edit it with syd's pictures in place of richard wright when you are talking about syd. It is such a terrible mistake.
reply

6: 19 seconds you fade away Richard Wright the keyboardist, Syd Barrett is not even in that photo! Get your facts right if you are making a videophile this
reply

Weird History: Syd Barrett was removed from the band slowly fades out Nick Mason, the only member of Pink Floyd to have not changed since the band's inception
reply

Awwww that sucks! They didn't have samplers back then. They could have probably made this work with the right technology. Jodorosky's Dune of albums.
