Listen To Pink Floyd’s Very Different Demo For ‘Welcome To The Machine’

February 10, 2014

Yep, the internet is awesome. Over the weekend, an unreleased Pink Floyd demo was let into the wild, and it’s a special one. Below, fans can listen to a very different version of “Welcome To The Machine,” the final version of which would become the second track on the band’s legendary 1975 album Wish You Were Here.

The track is expected to be part of a Pink Floyd release called “From Abbey Road to Britannia Row,” featuring several Pink Floyd studio outtakes. Also check out a 25-minute demo for “Shine On You Crazy Diamond”.

Thanks to Fernando at Antiquiet for the heads up
