Early single's......

Hi everyone i've been a huge floyd fan for
some time not, and have all the albums, on
CD, and all of the ligit DVD's available in
england and im now trying to track down
early singles such as Candy and a Current Bun
etc. any ideas where i can get them?
either online, or where ever. Im also interested
in getting hold of sound recordings of live
performances.

many thanks

Pete

you need a copy of the "Early Singles" disc from the Shine On boxset (as do I....);
or, you can track down the same material on various boots, probably cheaper.

the early singles disc appears quite ofton on ebay, $20-$30 US seems standard.

There's also a standalone release called "The First Three Singles" which contains just that:

thanks, any other ideas where i can find any other
tracks there may be lurking?

You could always join The Hub.

I'd tell you to check out sharingthegroove.org for live releases, but they've been having problems for well over a month now. Currently, I've been getting live releases off of bt.easytree.org. They're also torrenting a DVD containing the single's music videos.

Of course, releasing a 2-disc best of was a MUCH better idea than releasing a rarities compilation.

Quite.

There's a bootleg of the early singles making the rounds out there. It appears on Ebay every now and then. I have a copy of it, but I have to warn you that the quality is pretty crap.
