1967: The First 3 Singles

Released4 August 1997

This compilation gathers the first three singles Pink Floyd put out in 1967, the year the band began. It came out on 4 August 1997 through EMI United Kingdom as a limited edition CD, marking thirty years since those early recordings.

It sits at the very start of the band's story, before The Piper at the Gates of Dawn arrived in 1967 and long before the stadium-sized records that followed. For anyone curious about the group's psychedelic rock beginnings, it offers a compact way to hear where they started.
