NEW YORK, March 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- To celebrate
Record Store Day on Saturday, April 15,
2017, Pink Floyd will be releasing the highly
collectible 12" single 'Interstellar Overdrive'.
The mono single will be a one-sided 12" 180-gram black vinyl and
will play at 33 1/3 RPM. The single will come with a fold-out
poster and an A6 postcard featuring a classic image of the band
taken when they were recording their debut single, 'Arnold Layne'.
Written and performed by Syd
Barrett, Roger Waters,
Richard Wright and Nick Mason, 'Interstellar Overdrive' is
an unheard recording from 1966, running at close to 15 minutes
long. The original recording was done at the Thomson studio in
Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire on November 31, 1966, before the band were signed to
EMI. A different, shorter version of the track appears on the
band's debut album 'The Piper at the Gates of Dawn'.
The images for the single artwork are taken from the band's gig
at UFO at the Blarney Club, London
on January 13, 1967. The short-lived
UFO Club was the scene of the band's early, pioneering psychedelic
shows that saw Pink Floyd establish their position in the UK
music scene.
