• During the recording of Wish You Were Here, Floyd used a real EMS Vocoder to process the line “I’m all right Jack, keep your hands off my stack” in Have a Cigar.
• Pink Floyd recorded more than an hour of music for Zabriskie Point, but director Antonioni rejected most of it, including a 16‑minute piece he dismissed with the words “too sad.”

• The working title for Comfortably Numb was “The Doctor.” Early demo recordings from The Wall sessions show lyrics and structure that are drastically different from the final album version, as shown on the Immersion box set’s “Work In Progress”.
• On some early CD pressings of The Wall, the insert notes list Comfortably Numb at 6 minutes and 22 seconds. When the CD was played into a player, however, it would show 6 minutes and 24 seconds (for those unfamiliar, CD's were this discs that would be able to hold your music on them. You could even burn your own CDs!)

To help end your Floyd Friday, and close out this album, and close out the final song from the regular studio albums, I am leaving you with Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb side two, track 6 of The Wall

• Unknown Song (Take 1) is one of the few Floyd instrumentals from the More era built around a Gilmour–Wright call‑and‑response rather than a fixed chord pattern. You can hear Gilmour subtly change his picking accents every few bars, and Wright mirrors those shifts on organ in real time. That loose, conversational structure is why no two circulating takes of the piece ever line up the same way.
• Mason plays almost entirely with brushes instead of sticks during Unknown Song (Take 1). It is one of the lightest drum performances he ever put to tape during the More era.

• During early 1970 shows, Green Is the Colour was sometimes used as Gilmour’s warm‑up piece because the soft vocal line let the crew set his mic gain without the crowd noticing. A few audience tapes even catch him humming the melody before the band starts, which is rare for any Floyd performance.
• On several 1970 performances of Green Is the Colour, Wright’s piano has a slight natural wobble from the tuning and mic setup of the day. That subtle drift sits under Gilmour’s vocal and gives those live versions a looser, more fragile feel than the studio cut.

• The Germin/ation take of Embryo has a tiny fader bump right before Gilmour’s first swell. It happened because the BBC engineer rode the level a little too fast during the session, and that moment only survived on this release. It isn’t on Cre/ation or Devi/ation.
• Early live versions of Embryo often opened with Gilmour quietly tapping the body of his guitar to give Mason a pulse to lock onto. It was never meant to be heard by the crowd, but on a few 1970 recordings you can catch that soft thump bleeding into the room mics. It’s one of the only times Gilmour’s “count‑in by feel” ever slipped onto tape.

• Gilmour’s vocal on Julia Dream is one of the first times he used that soft, close‑mic style he later perfected on tracks like A Pillow of Winds. The engineer pushed him right up on the mic with the gain high, giving the song that drifting, intimate feel that became part of early post‑Barrett Floyd’s identity.
• The Mellotron on Julia Dream came from the band’s beat‑up Mark II unit, and its slight pitch wobble wasn’t intentional at all. The tapes were stretching and drifting during the session, and the engineer had to ride the levels to keep it usable, which accidentally gave the song its hazy, dreamlike atmosphere.
