In footage of the band rehearsing for a Royal Albert Hall appearance in 1969, one of the band members can be heard, off camera, quietly chanting the word 'ummagumma'.ДЎ. However, some band members have since stated that the word was 'totally made up and means nothing at all'. The album's title supposedly comes from a Cambridge slang word for sex, commonly used by one of Pink Floyd's friends and occasional roadie, Ian 'Emo' Moore, who would say 'I'm going back to the house for some Ummagumma'. The first disc is a live album of their normal set list of the time, while the second contains individual compositions by each member of the band recorded as a studio album. 'Ummagumma' is a double album by Pink Floyd, released in 1969 by Harvest and EMI in the United Kingdom and Harvest and Capitol in the United States. Ultra rare, NM 1st edition pressing of Pink Floyd's classic LP from 1969!! An amazing 2 records set, this features the 'Gigi', album on the cover, which was air- brushed out of all but the earliest releases! It never made it to the American release at all!

(HARVEST) mixing astronomy with mythology, turning the Coliseum into a huge outdoor observatory, and, yes, turning Shakespeare's characters into seemingly mythological ones. In any event, this video replicates my early imaginings that came with listening to this live version of 'Astronomy Domine'. I would not know this for some years until I watched the 1935 film, A Midsummer Night's Dream, for the first time.) Barrett had made them part of his own personal Pantheon of the Gods it would seem. (Hidden within the ranks of these deities, however, as moons of Uranus, were three of Shakespeare's supernatural characters: Oberon, Titania, and Miranda. Suddenly it was not an observatory we were sitting in looking outwards into the heavens but the Coliseum in Rome and as the planets and moons danced before me, so too did the dreadful and beautiful apparitions of the gods of ancient Rome and Greece. My mind played with the song, from the perspective of outer space exploration on one hand, and oddly enough, from a mythological perspective on the other. There is only the slightest hint when Wright's Farfisa organ begins of some almost inaudible sounds from the audience, the sort of hushed atmosphere one may hear from a large planetarium audience as the lights dim to darkness or in a huge observatory as the ceiling slowly opens until the entire sky is visible. The acoustics on the live disk are so incredible that one is left feeling the tracks were recorded in a studio. I also had not yet heard the Syd Barrett version from The Piper album. In fact I never would hear this track played on either CHUM or WYSL at a later time, for whatever reason. The first track on the double album, the live version of 'Astronomy Domine,' was the first song by Pink Floyd I ever heard that I had not previously listened to being played on FM radio. In January 1970, Ummagumma became my first Pink Floyd album purchase. This version was enough to wipe me out so completely I just HAD to buy the album. A month later the live version of 'A Saucerful Of Secrets' was added to the station's playlist of favorites off Ummagumma. The first track that received a lot of air time and became a station favorite was 'The Grand Vizier's Garden Party.' No doubt this was because it was the most highly experimental of all the album's tracks. until November and the release of Ummagumma. When WYSL became an all-night underground FM radio station I found pretty much the same tracks being played.

For nine months I had been listening to tracks from Pink Floyd's first two albums, The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn and A Saucerful Of Secrets, courtesy largely of Toronto's CHUM FM radio (and recordings I made from the station on reel-to-reel).
