I wonder what is on that freaking "Arnold/Candy" multitrack? Why would they keep the outtakes and junk the mutli-track?
Not sure when the singles reel was put together. Maybe for the Early Singles disc?
I'd love to know what is on that Arnold/Candy 4 track. The tape box is very confusing with lots of stuff scratched out. I doubt it has all of the final elements but it does say "1st overdub" for both Candy and Arnold. If it has any vocals I wonder if it has the alternate Candy lyrics?
Speaking of early Floyd rarities I have a fairly recent interview with Waters where he goes on about how brilliant he thinks Veg Man. He recites some of the lyrics and them tells him that "they released it on some compilation." Amazing isn't it? Most Syd fans think Waters is a roadblock to releasing this stuff and apparently he thinks some of it has already been released!
