Pink Floyd fans will be taken aback upon knowing that the band released their EP just last week. Their EP however is only available within UK and is only limited to only 1,000 pressings. The lucky individuals that were able to come across their unannounced album entitled "1965" [ which is their first recordings' EP ] will be treated with two 7 inch singles which will feature songs that were never released before. The songs were recorded by the band's original line up such as Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, Nick Mason, Richard Wright, and their previous guitarist Rado Klose.
Aside from the new tracks that were released, the songs were made prior to the band's 1967 debut, "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn," made it the earliest official released recordings made by the band. Four of the tracks coming from Syd Barrett himself are "Remember Me", "Lucy Leave", "Double O Bo", and "Butterfly". While the songs "Walk With Me Sydney" was written by the band's Roger Waters, which features his future wife, Juliette Gale, on the back vocals. The band also made a cover of Slim Harpo's "I'm a King Bee" in which they made it their final song.
As per Rolling Stone, "Pink Floyd" made a statement in regards to their EP release which stated: "To mark 50 years since the tracks were recorded, Pink Floyd have released a limited edition set of two seven-inch singles containing the band's first recordings,"
"Pink Floyd" pushed the release of their EP because of United Kingdom's copyright laws which placed the 50-year copyright of their tracks in danger. This being said, their recording was released in order for them to extend the copyright of each track giving them an extension of the copyright and refrain from having it released in the public domain.
