Pink Floyd – A Saucerful Of Secrets A Saucerful Of Secrets (1968) The transitional album by the Floyd after Syd Barrett’s firing.It was during the recording of this album that Pink Floyd was briefly a quintet.Although Barrett did not contribute much,what he did contribute was pretty good….Jugband Blues,the sliding guitar on Remember A Day and a little bit on Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun….The centerpiece of the album was the title track which disturbed the label as it made up a full 12 minutes of the 39 minute album. The importance of A Saucerful Of Secrets was that it was a stepping stone in a writing and recording progression that spawned Atom Heart Mother which progressed into Echoes which was the architect of Dark Side Of The Moon. My apologies for the edit which bridges Something Else and Syncopated Pandemonium…It was necessary to fit the song in the time limit….

This is actually from the mono version of A Saucerful Of Secrets.But CWTAE was originally released as the B side to their last single,Point Me At The Sky. It was the transition from a pop band trying get played on Top of the Pops,to a progressive band that concentrated on albums. 1968 was Pink Floyd’s transitional phase with the departure of Syd Barrett.They recorded 2 important tunes that year without Barrett…A Saucerful Of Secrets and Careful With That Axe,Eugene both had become staples in their live shows and both,especially A Saucerful Of Secrets,were the blue prints that lead to the eventual creation of Dark Side Of The Moon,aka the Sgt. Pepper’s of the 70’s. I remember someone telling me that this tune had something to do with Jerry Garcia but as it turns out,that’s an urban legend….

I have a disc that was recorded in Leeds in early 1972…The last 2 songs,(A Saucerful Of Secrets and Blues),have no listed date or location. Listening to ASOS,it sounds like it was recorded in 1971…Could be late 1970 but seeing how the Floyd began closing their concerts with a blues number in ‘71,leads me to believe the date is 1971. Maybe someone out there recognizes this tune and can fill me in on the date and location. Help me solve this mystery….
