Pink Floyd: Syd Barrett, David Gilmour (vocals, guitar); Richard Wright (vocals, piano, organ); Roger Waters (vocals, bass); Nick Mason (drums). Producers: Norman Smith, Joe Boyd, Pink Floyd. RELICS collects Pink Floyd`s first two singles, "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play," in addition to tracks from their early albums (1967-1969). Pink Floyd achieved their greatest success after their enigmatic leader, Syd Barrett, left the band. Originally released in 1971, RELICS documents the transition from Barrett`s LSD-influenced psychedelic rock to Waters` manic-depressive psychedelic rock. The organ-laced "Arnold Layne," and "See Emily Play" with its harpsichord break and nonsensical lyrics, are representative of the mod-pop music coming out of London circa 1967, at which Barrett excelled. The instrumental "Interstellar Overdrive" hints at the type of extended space-rock jams that Roger Waters and the rest of the band would seize upon once Barrett left. Keyboardist Rick Wright contributes two tunes, "Remember a Day" and "Paintbox," showing that he was coming into his own as a songwriter before his creative voice was squashed by the overbearing Waters. By 1971 it was clear that Pink Floyd was Roger Waters` band, with the occasional contribution by one of the other members, most notably guitarist David Gilmour.
