[edit] Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd's contributions to the album were recorded in November and December 1969, after the release of Ummagumma. "Come in #51, Your Time is Up" is a re-recording of "Careful with That Axe, Eugene," originally released as a b-side in December 1968. "Love Scene (Version 4)" is a Richard Wright solo piano composition. "Country Song" is a ballad filled with chess metaphors. "Unknown Song" (also known as "Rain in the Country") is a relaxed instrumental. "Love Scene (Version 6)" is a bluesy instrumental. A track entitled "Fingals Cave" and another called "OneOne" were recorded but did appear on the finished album.

Pink Floyd also recorded other unreleased material during the same sessions. Most notable is another Rick Wright composition which at that time was known as the "violent sequence" and would later be reworked into "Us and Them" from The Dark Side of the Moon.
