I'll get back to you on that one.
Now that somebody voted for "Julia Dream", at least one vote has to go to "Remember A Day". And so here goes one from me.

Remember a Day, for me. This version of Eugene is rather underwhelming for me. I also like Julia Dream and Cirrus Minor a lot.

Have to give the vote to Arnold Layne for this one.
Welcome to the middle of the film.

Went with Arnold Layne (one of my fav Floyd tunes), although Remember a Day is sooo close behind. Lot's of neat stuff on this comp.

I bought the original album when it was first released as I wasn't a great floyd fan and it was cheap. It was a good purchase and I still play it occasionally. None of the tracks are bad and some are pretty good.

Looking through the thread, I can see the great sentimental attachment to this album.  For many cash-strapped teenagers in the 70s, it was a great and affordable introduction to the early Floyd.  For many of us who had just heard 'Dark Side' this was a bright and varied new dimension!

Got to be Eugene for me..

I love Relics, although generally I'm not a huge early Floyd fan.

I bought the Wall and Relics together when I was 12 years old. Relics was in the bargain bin for 50p, so I thought I'd give it a go. I didn't recognise it as the same band that had made the Wall but I loved in nonetheless. I like every track, although I'm fairly indifferent to Bike.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Paintbox. One of my favourites from early PF. 
New album!

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!!!!!

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

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.

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