Floyd 67-74 Japanese and bootleg collecting

[John Rennie]

Pink Floyd were my first love, and if I have to go to the proverbial desert island with only one band's back catalogue that band would be Pink Floyd (sorry guys :-).

But being a Pink Floyd fan feels a bit like being part of a giant multinational. They are just so big and have so many fans. I would never try and host a Pink Floyd live recordings site because there are already so many of them, but I would and do host a Hawkwind recordings site (though the Bootleg Emporium has kind of made me redundant :-).

The Hawkwind universe is just so much more personal. I don't know any of the band members personally (though Dave Brock once grinned at me - does that count? :-) but I can exchange Facebook posts with guys who write album sleeve notes. OK, as claims to fame go it isn't very exciting, but the point is it feels so much more like an extended family than a corporation.

So while I have a few Floyd bootlegs, live recordings, etc collecting Floyd stuff just isn't as interesting as collecting Hawkwind stuff.

So far my only Floyd collecting "mania" has been very small compared
to Hawkwind etc. And i am not looking for mp3/FLAC but those dandy
Japanese Peel Sessions and Live and also the odd bootleg, as long as
they are not CDR or d/l. The other day i purchased 3 PF BBC 67,  BBC
68-69 and a London 70 Japanese CDs. Super looking forward to them. I
have the top list being PF stuff i already have and the bottom i have
picked out 67-74 era PF CDs i have seen on eBay. I assume there is a
lot of chaos and overlapping with the bootlegs, so it seems the
Japanese CDs are the way to go for a Floyd novice like myself ... I
wish i had the bootleg with "Point Me At The Sky" single !!! I only
have an mp3 of that one atm.
