PINK FLOYD
Atom Heart Mother (Special Edition) PINK FLOYD RECORDS
Desirable two-disc Japanese package gets worldwide release.
On its release in October 1970, Atom Heart Mother became Pink Floyd’s first UK No.1 album. It was a strong indication of their growing mainstream popularity, but the band would later regard it –and particularly its side-long orchestral rock title track –as a failed experiment. Yet at the time, they obviously had more faith in it, with a group version of the Atom Heart Mother suite becoming a mainstay of their live set for a couple of years. And it’s footage of one such performance that provides the inspiration for this latest special edition.
