The Dutch DJ who rebroadcasted this in 1998, is an idiot. Hey says before Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun that the song is called "Song Of The Sun, or something similiar, it was quite inaudible".

He should be ashamed of himself, would have taken him about 4 seconds to look it up.

I hereby apologise for my fellow countryman.

Thanks for sharing the early Floyd in good quality!

I'm not a Pink Floyd fan but this one is breathtaking, because of its incredible quality sound (think: almost 44 years ago!!) and its historical value.
I have two questions:
- unzipping I have 5 sound files plus a folder with same sound files, less "Interstellar Overdrive"; what does it mean?
- WHAT IS WATERS SAYING in his interview: believe me, I can't understand not even reading the translation!!!
Thanks for this gem.

The folder inside the folder is the rebroadcast - at least that's what I think that I did.
The setlist is smaller because not all was rebroadcast and the original taper tracked it differently than the original uploader.
