ULTRA RARE PINK FLOYD TRACK

EMBRYO

COLLECTOR'S ITEM

Long sought after, and afforded almost legendary status amongst Floyd collectors, is the compilation album Picnic: A Breath Of Fresh Air. This was released in June 1970 and was particularly notable for the inclusion of the otherwise unreleased classic Pink Floyd track, Embryo.

On the release of the album, the band were reportedly aghast, as it was an unfinished demo of the track which Harvest used without checking first.

Embryo was also included on A Breath Of Fresh Air – A Harvest Records Anthology 1969–1974 released on  CD only 14 May 2007, but has not been on any official Pink Floyd album.
