Pink Floyd are streaming video of “Welcome To The Machine”, a track from their 1975 album, “Wish You Were Here.”
Directed by Gerald Scarfe, the animated clip was featured as a backdrop film for when the band played the song on its 1977 In the Flesh tour in support of the follow-up record, “Animals.”
The tune also appeared as the b-side to the single, “Have A Cigar”, which included lead vocals by UK folk singer Roy Harper.
Pink Floyd will release the vinyl debut of their 2011 compilation “A Foot In The Door: The Very Best Of Pink Floyd” on September 28.
With songs personally selected by members of the legendary UK band, the career-spanning set features some of the group’s best-known tunes, including “Money”, “Wish You Were Here”, “Comfortably Numb”, “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” and “Learning To Fly.”
Originally released in 2011 on CD only, the songs have been newly-mastered for vinyl by longstanding Pink Floyd associate James Guthrie, with assistance from Joel Plante.
The 2-LP version features the reinstated version of “Time”, with the ringing alarm clocks at the start of the track restored, after they were omitted on the CD release.
