Capitol Records is NOT the original label for this album. RedWolf 16:22, Sep 19, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Title

Anyone know where the title for the album comes from? KrisW6 16:40, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

I believe it refers to flying saucers. --Talisen 19:25, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, maybe Syd Barrett himself discovered the secret of Flying Saucers (you reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon), and became mad. Anyway, they used to play in that club named UFO, and possibly there is some reference on that.--Doktor Who 19:39, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vegetable man

Ive added this to the article because i think that it is relevant. If u believe otherwise you can take it off. I also think that an article talking about both "vegetable man" and "scream thy last scream" should be created even though they were never officially released. - Ummagumma23 12 november 2006

[edit] The vocals on Corporal Clegg

That's twice now someone's changed "Nick Mason" to "Richard Wright" on the list of singers for the track "Corporal Clegg" (see main article). Why is this? --The guy with the axe - aaaaaaargh!!! 19:47, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Cause Mason doesn't sing on that track, or any Pink Floyd song for that matter (save for spoken-word on "One of These Days"). Listen to the chorus of the song (starting with the lyric "Mrs. Clegg...."). That's Wright in the background. -- Barrelofagun69

If Wright is in the background in the refrain, that's not a LEAD vocal. Mason does sing the "He won it in the war" section in the verse, as you would know if you'd read the song's article or Mason's own article. Therefore, I'm about to put the article right a third time. --The guy with the axe - aaaaaaargh!!! 19:38, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Well I mispoke. The "Mrs. Clegg" chorus. Listen to it. Does that sound like anybody else BESIDES Wright? Therefore, it's a lead vocal. I've never heard about Mason singing on the song before; it sure doesn't sound like him. But instead of deleting him, I'll simply add Wright at the end, since I know that's his voice on the chorus... Barrelofagun69

That'll do, I guess --The guy with the axe - aaaaaaargh!!! 17:12, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

And some jackass replaced Mason with Wright again. It wasn't me this time! I had added Wright to the end, after Waters. I don't know who replaced it that time. --Barrelofagun69

Okay, I'm with you guys about David and Nick singing on it, and I realize that that's Rick on the chorus and will call it a lead vocal if you guys insist, but where are you guys getting Roger? I have never heard anything about Roger singing any part of the song. I don't even see anybody mentioning that he's listed there, or discussing whether he sings on it. What part of that song could he be singing?

--Rock Soldier 22:14, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Come to think of it, Waters only seems to sing harmony on that one. The guy with the axe - aaaaaaargh!!! 10:01, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm removing it then. What did we decide on the issue of how "lead" the vocals that Rick sings are?

---Rock Soldier 23:20, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

This response is long overdue, of course. But if we don't consider Waters's vocals "lead", then I'd say Wright's vocals aren't, either. Therefore, the article will now read: David Gilmour and Nick Mason. --The guy with the axe - aaaaaaargh!!! (talk) 22:46, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Further to my last. I was just about to change it when I noticed that SOMEBODY had removed Mason AGAIN! --The guy with the axe - aaaaaaargh!!! (talk) 22:50, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
