For those not in the know, fan albums are the attempts of me and many others to take songs and put them on an album, typically they’re made to improve upon something, such as an existing album or to take non-album tracks and put them on an album.
This is the fourth and final fan album of Syd Barrett & Pink Floyd and contains some of the greatest Pink Floyd tracks. This same era of the band was covered by me before and it’s mostly the same. Now “Sunshine” is moved to a different album while “Green Onions” and “Tomorrow’s World” are moved to this one. Originally, Tomorrow and Onions started the album in that order but the double whammy of instrumentals was a tad jarring. I wanted side b to be just Syd compositions, so “Green Onions” was promoted to the front of the line as it’s a cover. “Early Morning Henry” was originally the start of side b, but it makes more sense as the end of side a. It’s incomplete, making it an odd starter. The other eight are all positioned the same. “One In A Million” is removed due to being so low quality, despite how great it is. A high quality version appearing would be a dream.
The original album title needed to be changed due to namechecking “Sunshine”. This new title does the same trick of referencing the names of two of the shorter tracks.
