Relics
Pink Floyd / Columbia 18 – re-issue in 180g vinyl

Relics (subtitle: A Bizarre Collection of Antiques & Curios) is a 1971 compilation album by Pink Floyd. The album was released in 1971. The compilation contains material from the band’s first three albums, ‘The Piper at the Gates of Dawn’, ‘A Saucerful of Secrets’ and ‘More’, including the best of the Syd Barrett years. The release of Relics occurred because the band’s record company, EMI, were concerned that they had gone into the studio to record what would become Meddle without any songs or ideas, effectively starting from scratch. This, combined with their ever-increasing touring schedule, made EMI realize that no new product would be released for some time, possibly not until well over a year after completing their previous album, Atom Heart Mother. In order to issue some more “product” for fans, they decided to release a budget priced LP combining early singles, B-sides, album tracks and one unreleased number, “Biding My Time”.
