[edit] Jimmy Young

This is the first I've heard about this, and I consider myself an expert on all things Floydian :-) Why did the band feel the need to address this line at dear old Jimmy? Martyn Smith 22:55, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Please provide us with more information. Brian W 23:48, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm also pretty familiar with Pink Floyd popular mythology and had never heard the Jmmy Young story. GTGleeson 15:17, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I had some cited information about that, so I added it to the article. I found one place where they mentioned that Waters especially disliked Young and found him "inane" and "disturbing," but it was a message board post and so not something we can legitimately cite. However, if anyone does have a source that mentions that (like a book - the Pink Floyd Encyclopedia, perhaps?) please do add any relevant info and/or citations that you can.--Zequist 22:56, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Although yet more uncited information, on the [unnoficial] Brain Damage Pink Floyd radio show, the show called "Instrumentals" [sic] mentions that in performances of Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast, the band would stop playing at sit down to drink tea in the middle of the performance, whilst they would play the "Rather obnoxious DJ, Jimmy Young". I'm sure Nick's book would have mentioned something about him, though...--Cowards 17:51, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Confusing layout

I take it the first two release dates on the sidebar (30 Oct 71 US, 5 Nov 71 UK) refer to the release of Meddle? This is very confusing. With "Single by Pink Floyd" above, along with B-side information, it takes very careful reading to realize this isn't talking about the single release.

The same layout problem can be found for the Free Four single. Oddly, Money (Pink Floyd song) only lists the release date of the single, and not Dark Side of the Moon.
