[peel] The Pink Floyd (was Re: Festive 50 1978 Part 2)

[Julian Porter]

Blimey Martin,
I knew someone would know a bit more about these guys than I do. Anyone got the two sessions?
That makes 3 singles then as the 10" I have was "Your Nicked" plus one other and "Your Nicked" was the "A" Side.
Incidentally, on a non Peel note, there I was coming back from the dentist this afternoon (having paid out loads of dosh and having no work done!!) and I had some sort of flashback to 1968 - God I wish I'd never taken those drugs all that time ago - and thought of the single "Race With The Devil" by Gun. Gun were the brainchild of the Gurvitz brothers, who after two albums, were ceremoniously dropped by CBS and soon after hitched up with one Ginger Baker to form the Baker Gurvitz Army. Apparently the notable thing about their second album, other than the fact that it was a massive flop, was that it had the first album art by one Roger Dean.
 
Anyhow, for all you of older years, like myself, the single "Race With The Devil" can be had for free from: http://ravensingstheblues.blogspot.com/2008/07/all-right-all-right-since-this-didnt.html
I bet Peel played this, despite the fact that it was a fairly massive hit at the time.
Julian
