RELICS collects Pink Floyd's first two singles, "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play," in addition to tracks from their early albums (1967-1969).

Pink Floyd achieved their greatest success after their enigmatic leader, Syd Barrett, left the band. Originally released in 1971, RELICS documents the transition from Barrett's LSD-influenced psychedelic rock to Waters' manic-depressive psychedelic rock. The organ-laced "Arnold Layne," and "See Emily Play" with its harpsichord break and nonsensical lyrics, are representative of the mod-pop music coming out of London circa 1967, at which Barrett excelled. The instrumental "Interstellar Overdrive" hints at the type of extended space-rock jams that Roger Waters and the rest of the band would seize upon once Barrett left.

Keyboardist Rick Wright contributes two tunes, "Remember a Day" and "Paintbox," showing that he was coming into his own as a songwriter before his creative voice was squashed by the overbearing Waters. By 1971 it was clear that Pink Floyd was Roger Waters' band, with the occasional contribution by one of the other members, most notably guitarist David Gilmour.

5 stars Fantastic Floyd
I had this album on vinyl years ago and am very pleased to find a copy on cd. Love it. Classic, vintage Floyd. Not for the faint-hearted listener of commercial pop/rap clap-trap.

3 stars Eldarado for those discovering FLOYD
This is the flip side to The Beatles. I found this album hidden amongst some of my brothers junk cassettes. Listening to this album I found it sounded raw and unpolished compared to the 1970's FLOYD. In light of that however, I couldn't stop playing the tape and subsequently wore two copies of it out!. Upon the release of the remastered CD. I found that the remastered version of this album definitely breathes new life into tracks such as Bike, Careful with that Axe and Interstellar Overdrive, the later of which is startling clear to a fault. This album is a must for those discovering FLOYD. A great selection of tracks from the 1967 to 1970 period of this legendary group.

5 stars Best Compilation Ever!!
This is one of the best compilation cd's i've ever seen. All the songs are excellent. A good look at pink floyd's early years when it was about LSD friendly songs. This album is full of great psychadelic tunes. If at first the songs my not be to your liking (which is higly unlikely) listen to them again with headphones on, trust me it sounds different. The songs come alive. Pink FLoyd is a headphones must band to get the full, desired effect.
