If you mean the version from Live at Pompeii then that is pretty special. The version on Ummagumma beats the studio version hands down too.

The beautiful love song, and only one of a handful of such songs in the whole Floydian canon - Biding My Time - recorded around the time they were making Ummagumma. It didn't fit in with the format of UG, or indeed AHM, but had it not been included on Relics, it would have (IMO) made a great addition to Meddle, perhaps the only romantically themed album they ever made.

Sure they're amateur compositions compared to the masterpieces that they released later on but 90% of the bands today would kill to have those two songs by them.

Perhaps. But most artists are amateurs on their first releases (some throughout their career) and its not really an argument for or against the music imo.
Such a lovely collection. I could go for Interstellar but it would't be correct because before I bought this it was already my favorite Piper-tune which means I often skipped it in favor of the #7 I hadn't heard before.
Either Careful With That Axe Eugene or Julia Dream.

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Remember A Day but it could've been Julia Dream, Paintbox, Cirrus Minor or the one Rick's not on.

At the time, Relics provided access to a lot of out-of-print Floyd material, particularly the singles. If memory serves, you could also only get the first two albums reissued as A Nice Pair, which was a considerable investment back then. At least for me, it was to be some years before I heard the songs in their album contexts.

FOR NOW, it's Arnold Layne, but it's a tough choice between that and See Emily Play, Interstellar Overdrive, and Bike.

It's got to be Cirrus Minor, a simply beautiful piece of music.
Oh and I wouldn't mind a couple of bottles of the ale that Dean posted the pic of!!!!!

Paintbox. One of my favourites from early PF.
