Jimmy Nimbus Group: Members Posts: 12 Joined: May 2010 Posted: Sep. 01 2010, 14:02 Was this ever officially released in any territory as "Crisis"? My Disky CD of it has "Crisis" as the title on the disc (but not the cover) which I would have written off as a typo. A bad one, but nothing more, but then I started seeing covers like this online: and etc It's most perplexing. Back to top

I remember years ago in Singapore I bought a cassette of Dark Side of the Moon with the usual prism cover but the band not "Pink Floyd" but "Pink J-Loyd". The guy tried to tell me that Pink Floyd were originally called "Pink J-Loyd", which I thought was so funny I bought the cassette anyway! Back to top

I'm sure that if the guy had thought of that angle he would have been happy to use it! You can see how the typo came about: a scrawled "F" looks like "J-". Very Proustian, a la "Gilberte/Albertine.

So this is like "Sake of Song" (a Blackmore's Night B-side) which was renamed "Lake of Song" on a bootleg I downloaded some time ago, because on the back cover the initial S of track 6 looks very much like an L.

Delfín Group: Members Posts: 667 Joined: Nov. 2000 Posted: Sep. 03 2010, 19:52 Also, in the 'Meddle' album, Pink Floyd are credited in the cover as "The Pink Floyd", that being the only time they're named like that as far as I know. Something similar to "Michael Oldfield" in 'Heaven's Open'. Apparently, in 'Tubular Bells' and the rest of the albums he was initially intended to be credited with his long name. -------------- The most precious thing I possess, is knowing the answer's yes Back to top

No, they were known as "The Pink Floyd" in the early dyas. See the cover of More. Back to top

CJJC Group: Members Posts: 210 Joined: Aug. 2010 Posted: Sep. 04 2010, 15:17 This is all well and good, but how do you explain this? -------------- IMHO Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Sep. 04 2010, 15:56 @ CJJC: Very good! Joking aside, I used to own an Italian 7'' (made in Italy, printed in Italy) of "Moonlight Shadow" (which I sold). It had "Mike Oldfield" correctly as artist credit on both sides, but also on both sides the composer was credited as "M. Olfield" !! [Another Italian single which I don't have - I don't remember what is it - also has "Olfield" on the label.] Evidently the Crisis/Crises era was a particularily prolific period for mi(ke)stakes by Virgin and its various international branches... @ Incantations: The Pink Floyd Sound was a moniker for their first demos, which were later released on and orange-vinyl boot called Projected Sounds. The actual band name was The Pink Floyd. Later on, they dropped the "The". -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
