Another great RoIO thanks to a kind reader! I am glad to have such a generous audience. You always help to enrich the selection - and we all benefit as a result! Thanks, again!
PF - 1977-07-02 - A New Machine Remastered
Here
When I shared this one earlier, it was a strange mix of audio formats. There was duplication - and, generally, it was in need of help. Well, thanks to the Wizard known as ... Jim... I can share this wholly original, intact, version of the release. Enjoy!!

Syd Barrett - Oddments
Here
Syd
Back in the mists of time, there was a Syd Barrett fanzine called Late Night run by a nice chap called Jon Allen. He & I exchanged several letters. What I am sharing with you here is a transfer of a cassette tape that Jon sent to me. I have made copies of portions of the tape for the nice folks at HRV in the past, but I have never transferred the entire tape previously.
There are quite a few interesting pieces available here, including a version of the Irene Winsby recording of Let's Roll Another One that is much longer than what you have heard before. Note that I said "longer" not "better quality" or "more interesting".. B-)
The "Mike Sparrow" radio show is another piece that I have never seen anywhere else...
There is an interesting "Reaction In G" that is clearly from a radio broadcast, as there is a female announcer. Unfortunately, she speaks in a language that is not English. Then, on the tape, there is about 15 seconds of pure silence, then the music resumes in much the same quality and possibly the same song. Neither segment is very long. Decide for yourselves if they belong together.
The quality of the Interstellar Overdrive is not great. But, it isn't the TLAMLIL or San Francisco version of the song - which is what usually turn up on bootlegs. This is something different - and it's complete, which is nice.
I've copied the Star Club side of the tape for a few people and they always give it high praise. I'm not going to tell you that it's better than the HRV version, however. But, give it a listen. It's not too terrible.
PF - 1977-07-02 - New York, NY
Please see the comments for the links.
This is the 24-96 transfer of this concert. If you want the CD-ready (16-44) version, please go here. This high resolution version was provided by a kind reader, gp. Thanks!!

PF - Celtic Tribute
Here
Celtic
This is a tribute to PF that I promise that you've never heard before. Absolutely 100% certified to have never circulated. B-) I found it many, many long years ago at a festival. It was so long ago that I'm not even sure that I was a PF fan at the time. My memory is just picking a random tape out of a basket and paying $5. I didn't transfer the entire tape - just the PF related piece. For the collectors of the obscure, well, it doesn't get much more obscure than this....
PF - 1980-02-01 - The Wall Tour Rehearsals
Here
I've always been amazed that this recording isn't circulated & discussed more than it is. This is one of the most interesting Wall recordings that I have ever heard. If you haven't heard of it - or haven't heard it in a while - you really should.
