A TREE FULL OF SECRETS
the definitive Pink Floyd rarities compilation

Introduction

You'll find all the A and B sides of all the Pink Floyd singles, all the promo, edited, obscured, or remixed versions, and all the soundtracks bits of your favorite Pink Floyd and solo tracks.

Basically, this collection includes (nearly) all songs officially released, but not on regular album (compilations, singles, promos, soundtracks...), as well as rare versions from acetates and studio outtakes. We didn't consider live tracks (concerts, radio or TV appearances), unless they're part of a single or a promo single. We also left out of this scope the Syd Barrett solo rarities, because it mainly consists in slightly different mixes of regular versions (we'd like to let a more hardcore fan than we are, doing the job). We tried to make the most definitive Pink Floyd rarities compilation, in both completeness and sound quality. For each track, we tried to find the best sounding version available. As a result, we're proud to say that a lot of tracks sound better than any other version available elsewhere.

Rules
What we mean with the word "rarity":
1) Song officially released, but not on regular albums (compilations, singles, soundtracks...) [1]
2) Alternate mix (acetate...)
3) Outtake from unreleased studio session
4) Demo
[1] with an exception for the stuff being a part of a whole "entity"(most of them are available separately, as other projects).

"Chronological" rules for tracklist:
1) tracks are sorted by recording date, not release date [2]
2) different versions of the same track with same recording date are sorted by release date [3]
3) singles from the same album are listed in the same order than on the album [4]
[2] with an exception for the demos, placed before the actual release, to save "continuity" and to hear how the song evolved from the demo to the released version.
[3] if the release date is the same or unknown, the versions are sorted from the most "usual" to the most "unusual": single version -> extended version -> promo version
[4] unless the recording dates are known with precision for each track (in this case, see rule nr.1)

Contents

The first 8 CDs contain the Pink Floyd rarities (from 1965 to 1994).
