"Millionaire"
What do you guys know about the song "Millionaire"? Supposedly, it's a Syd tune that was announced as a single in July 1967, but it didn't go through. Does anybody know anything about it?

Well, that's a song the band recorded during the sessions of Piper (April 18&19, 1967) and later again, during the Barrett album sessions (June 7, 1970), and produced by David.
The musicians from that session were Syd, of course, on the acoustic guitar and vocals, David on bass guitar, Rick on the piano, and Jerry Shirley on the drums.

It was announced as B-side for 'Scream Thy Last Scream', which wasn't recorded yet.mhspiper wrote:What do you guys know about the song "Millionaire"? Supposedly, it's a Syd tune that was announced as a single in July 1967, but it didn't go through. Does anybody know anything about it?
'Millionaire' a.k.a. 'She Was a Millionare' is lost, as recorded by Pink Floyd in 1967. Tape wiped, as far as known.
The 1970 Barrett recording (without vocals and with crash of instruments) is unreleased, only described by David Parker in his book 'Random Precision' (2001).
