"High Time" Rome Italy 1968-05-06 and London 1969-05-12 - Features "The Narrow Way" with vocals, superb sound!
Continuing my never-to-be-quenched thirst for vinyl, here's a great offering from the European anti-CD label Sodium Haze Records. Pressed in perhaps batches of 50-100 pieces (correct me if I'm wrong there), your chances of snagging one are very limited... you'd better not blink or it will go away.
Side one features three tunes from the "Rome Goes Pop! program(me): Astronomie Domine, Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun, and Interstellar Overdrive. The first two tracks are sourced from a VPRO-FM radio rebroadcast on 1988-04-29. The third track is an audio rip from the television broadcast on ARD TV (West Germany) from 1968-05-18. The quality is simply stunning.
Side two is pre-FM sourced from the program(me) John Peel's Night Ride: Granchester Meadows (Daybreak), Cymbaline (Nightmare), Green Is The Colour (The Beginning/Beset By Creatures Of The Deep), and The Narrow Way. The last track is of mention as it contains vocals. For those of you unfamiliar with the extra titles, these tracks were performed on the road during 1969 as part of a concept piece "The Man and The Journey". The versions presented here are notable for their differences from the normal concert routine.
The sequence of songs on this album are simply superb. Hope you like it.

What a unique find! Thanks for sharing it with us. :-D
THIS IS AWESOME!
Wild and raw versions of first three tracks, amongst the best I have heard from that era...
P:S. : John Peel's sessions are the same from BBC Archive 67-69 REV B.
(Btw, are these tracks overdubbed ? During CWTAE you hear acoustic, lead and bass guitar at the same time... And during The Narrow Way you have a lead and a steel guitar playing together...)
Thanks a lot for all these last Floyd posts, Dave !
thanks for another terrific one !!
Many thanks!!!
