The Pink Floyd 'See Emily Play'

[SLACKER614]

very well done.. a special era ...

[1987AREVALO]

MUY BUENA LA CANCIÓN Y RECUERDA Á LOS HIPPIES QUE CONSUMÍAN DROGAS COMO LA MARIHUANA, EL LSD

[darkglobe111]

Syd had a Gerrard, it is the one in the Madcaps photos that Mick Rock took. Fine turntable.

[Cheessa]

My favorite early Floyd song.

[progreadicto]

in a fight "Emily" VS "Lucy" (in the sky with diamonds)

wins Emily for KO.

[jaddajn1]

i know an emily and she is such an 'emily'!

[Klaudia03]

Thanks for the cool video!!

[glerkkkkk]

pinche mamon presumido



[PunkyPink85]

I was named after this amazing song :)

[codewebgirl]

@PunkyPink85 So was I :)

[briane223]

thorens turntables are pretty good too

[modvalsen]

So, you use a vinyl player for the song, but you use a digital camera to share it with the world :)...We hear f* nothing! Next time go for optical audio and 35mm reels to complete the quality/context cycle.

[jimijakjones99]

@ thedrummersden Don't forget the Architectural Abdabs.

[a850752]

Syd Barrett was their best song writer. They were still great after him but his lyrics were good and who knows how much better they could have gotten. Time is one of my favorite songs but the words are as basic as you can get. This, of course, is just my opinion. :)

[NYChica23]

@a850752 For sure...shame he ended up going crazy and having to leave the band :(

[bagorush]

Thank you for the memory trip!

[pongelaar]

nice vid..

[puckering1]

Nice

[thedrummersden]

Pink Floyd were originally called The Tea Set but Barrett came up with the name The Pink Floyd Sound, after two Piedmont blues musicians, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council, names he'd seen on the notes of a Blind Boy Fuller album. "Sound" was dropped fairly quickly, but the "The" was still used regularly until 1970. David Gilmour is known to have referred to the group as "The Pink Floyd" as late as 1984.

[Deathwish874]

What the heck is THE Pink Floyd?

[schafey562]

@Deathwish874 they dropped the "The" after a while but that was their original name

[vonshtoyven]

timeless CLASSIS trips me out to this day, its get just the perfect proportion of groovy psychedelics in it

[mickeymousebiker1]

The London club scene circa 1966 - 1967.

[Emilythestrangeeee]

My name is Emily (': This song is Me to a T.

[DIEversity301]

@Emilythestrangeeee, are you often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams til tomorrow? ;-)

[tiwi766]

@Emilythestrangeeee Try again, and understand this time.

[jpd66]

Timeless...and the vinyl has a warmer sound than the cd...thank you.

[AngieAcidic]

i LOVE syd's zippo thing at the beginning <3 rip syd

[zmoddo]

The Barrett era of PF has a style similar to the early Beatles style

[liberalsforliberty]

[BenjaminOttoIV]

I sang this song to my feral dog Emily to tame her.. It worked

[FCastillo000]

[amickrocker]

spinnyspinnyspinnyspinny...



[Refrescospepito]

This video is sexy and obscene.

I love your ring, baby.

:D

[PinkFloydFan413]

Even before Dark Side they were great. Yes, there were 412 before me.

[boyinblack80]

I feel like we are about to make out...how seductively you placed the record on.

:)

[bagnumberthree]

That song spent one week on the Billboard chart... at position #134. No joke.

[xXdelirious24Xx]

this song was inspired by an intense lsd trip :)

[mmblondy627]

[TheMalkavianPotato]

@mmblondy627  me too

[acrata4ever]

its not slowed down the tower mix was different.

[leatherfaze03]

[charadeyouareha]

so cool.

[MrMandingus]

Syd's Floyd was and will always be the REAL Floyd

[Metallicat8888]

This is better quality than all the See Emily Play's i've watched today on Youtube

[kingsergio128]

thats a very rare single

[NcicHit]

Nice record and with picture sleeve.  Have the British cut.

[funfunfuntheautobahn]

Vintage 60's music

[tim22ism]

bYALL MEANS PLEASE UPLOAD YOUR STUFF!!!!

[CaptRaven54]

Your channel is so great!!!! I got cut off by the U-Tube Police trying to forward the great music you have posted. Thankx for the GREAT Vibes!!!!

[camprobber61]

how can anybody compare Piper at the Gates of Dawn to Dark Side of the Moon? The band changed as did recording tech.

[EliRod003]

What kind of turntable is that?

[VinylPiper]

some cheap Technics turntable

[konnichiwaneku]

at least it works. cheap ones are more tactile.

[ricktherezman]

@VinylPiper you need a good pioneer or marantz for that great vinyl

[CockneyRebel1979]

@VinylPiper What was this particular song about? Any idea, please? :/

[joeycushman]

@CockneyRebel1979 this song is about a young girl emily who used to hang out in a group called the Free School society along with the floyd and many other influential people today such as John Hopkins and Timothy Leary. she was about 15 and naive hence "Emily tries, but missunderstands..."

[shawnwell420]

shawnwell420 you really shouldnt play that awsome record and use some useless cd or something its breaking my heart and phyically painful!

[dragontooth81]

@shawnwell420 Not playing them is even worse... The needle actually cleans dirt and stuff from the grooves and keeps it sounding propper.

[97nachotv]

@VinylPiper I think I have the same one. It actually works fine.

[Catherineone]

@EliRod003

It was made by Garrards

I used to work with about a 100 woman and it was my job to check to see if they worked,

the turntables that is not the woman.

[VinylKid3000]

Wicked cool.

[zomett]

sounds like spinal tap the early years.

[polvotone]

thanks, this is the best sounding version that i've heard

[stx377]

Listening to "bike" on vinyl seemed to add an extra dimension of sound, compared to the digital formats. I'm a fan and thats how I first heard it. Records are a finite medium, I wore out a few by simply playing them too much.

[ClaptonsGod]

Not worth it almost all of Pink Floyds early stuff was shit underecorded underproduced (not in the good led zeppelin way) sounds like they recorded it in some dank basement through a wet burlap sack. Dark side of the Moon was there only good thing and by good i mean increadable probly one of the best put together albums ever.

[fatcatbuzz]

Most of the time in the 60s stuff was recorded like that. In a make shift studio with a 4 track tape machine. So that is the main reason it sounds the way it does. But, then again some of the best records were like that. You are most likely use to listening to digital were the mid range is turned up in alot of digital remasters. Also, most single in the 60s were in mono which add more of a punch, but can give the recording a lack of seperation and may make the single sound bassy and muddy.

[underpuka]

you have nice hands :)

[pesmith8768]

and $900 is just ridiculous!

[pesmith8768]

I think it is mono, and then sped up a bit on the EMI version that appears on Relics and the Early Singles. Sounds like the same take though.

[fatcatbuzz]

Good ear. It is sped up slightly for later releases as for as I can hear. And yep, that is mono. Most single in the 60s were in mono. Even versions that use to be in stereo for the LP and there noticable differences. In the US, alot of engineers combines the 2 track to make a mono version. Not all though as you can hear to different mixes for Love's Da Capo. However, in the UK, engineers usually made to different mixes. I'm not saying US engineers were lazy, it was more about rush release here.

[KoolSpeed]

Apples and Oranges went for like $329.99 on ebay. That's insane!

[fatcatbuzz]

That's way to much. I got a early EMI LP with all their singles from the 60s for only $40. $400 is not worth one song to me. I think EMI should rerelease all their early singles and LPs on vinyl again.

[KoolSpeed]

i believe that EMI should do that too, good thinking!

[fatcatbuzz]

It's true that they released a couple of things on vinyl and I actually got Piper from a 90s press about 12 years ago. And it's in mono, too!!! But, some of those records are hard to find. I got them all except The Division Bell. But still, it would be so nice. hahaha A little Pink Floyd joke.

[dimebagdave77]

@fatcatbuzz yes, i have one of those.it has a sticker in the middle right?are those kinda rare now?

[modifproductions]

Pink Floyd is genius!

[Lolyf55]

This song's on the Echo's CD that my son gave to me.Went to the Division Bell Concert in Vancover @ the BC Place on 6-24-94.

[VinylPiper]

it's a great single. EBAY UK has the single without the pictures sleeve listed in some guys store. This guy wants way to much, it should be around $60 - $80us..

[RickenbackerBeatles]

Wow. I love this song. Great bass and great lyrics. I would LOVE to have a copy of this on vinyl!

[VinylPiper]

yes, I love this single.. not as rare as the Arnold Layne single I have up here.. that took me awhile to find.

[Hamptonio]

Unreal.

Last one of these I saw on Ebay went for around $900.

[catlamk]

SeeeeEeeEeeee Emily play........it repeated many times in my mind .........

[phadde]

Nice song, but I hate video-hands.

[daviddesain]

I love this song by the Pink Floyd. David DeSain

[spacepatrolman]

A friend who was a dj at wfdu said that had a white label copy like that ,it must be worth $600.

[captainsoul1953]

Have this picture sleeve..didnt know it was so rare

Jim

[MFJVIDEO]

WOW im jealous . amazing vinyl

[TheRealInvaderZim]

Only 45 I have is one from The Clash --went crazy 20yrs ago and sold record collection and threw away all my photo collection----"oh well ,its all a learning thing" ;) , love your music post on Y/T.

[afrokid12]

This song deserves 6 stars.

[peejaa]

Killer Home video!! 10 stars!!!

[cocapaneltv]

SOUNDS AWSOME IN VINYLL!

[MBpictures]

One of my favorite Floyd songs. Also, isn't this slowed down a bit?

[VinylPiper]

I'm not sure if it's slowed down.. it sounds right to me.. I haven't heard a cd version of the song in a long time.. all my mp3's are from vinyl.

[fatcatbuzz]

The Tower Record version of See Emily Play has more reverb then the UK version or at least the version on Relic. This version sounds way different than any other version ever released even today on CD.

[jd11193]

Yes it does for sure. I just got the Piper at the Gates of Dawn album on Tower, and the version of See Emily Play has even more reverb that the mix shown here. Check out the video I posted if you want!

[fatcatbuzz]

I got my copy in 1997 and noticed right away that there was a different. It's funny because I didn't really remember until I heard this because my copy has been in my parents attic for the last 9 years (I've been traveling), so I kind of made that comment thinking I knew what I was talking about. Now that I've heard you copy I remember. I actually like the Tower version better with the reverb because it gives it more of a spacy, psychedelic sound you don't get from any other version.

[fatcatbuzz]

No, it's at the right speed. My guitar is in tune and I was able to play along with the track.

[bertonglacy]

@MBpictures This is the right speed. The other Youtube versions have a slightly sped up version, it seems.

[kyokogodai]

45's! WOW, does that bring back the memories!!! Still have a few lying around (my favorite one is my Wings Girls School/Mull of Kintyre picture sleeved). You have some awesome ones!! Thanks for posting.

[LePoof]

The drumming seems different on the vinyl version. It's like hearing the song for the first time again.

[far14s]

seeeeeeeeeeee emily play

[magusmagic]

A masterpiece!

[squeakmillward]

brilliant

[johnsposato]

You must've paid a bit for that one!

[LxNprod]

great! i'd love to see that vinyl collection!

[VinylPiper]

I really like this picture sleeve. Very hard to come by.

[lmull3]

great song! can't go wrong with syd ^^.
