"Flight From Reality"

Has anybody heard of a late 1975 song called "Flight From Reality"? The only info that I found on it was that it was "very strange." Is it actually real?

Never heard of it, and my first thought is that it is an alternative title for something out there, or maybe a hoax track.

Incorrect...Bitter Love is a different song, according to my research.

The title is also incorrect...it was actually called "Flight From Fantasy," not "Reality."

As best as I can figure, it's quite possible that it became Pigs (3DO.)

No, it's actually "Flight from Reality", I'm 100% sure.

And I'm 1,000 percent sure that I am correct and you are incorrect.

We were just discussing "Flight From FANTASY" about this time last year. I've even read some interview with Roger in which he differentiates it from Bitter Love (strike one for you,) and even suggests that it might end up on their next album (which became Animals and so supports the idea that it could have become Pigs (3DO,)...and he calls the song "Flight From Fantasy"...strike two for you.

Want to go for strike three?

I'm with Mosespa here. Perhaps if you hadn't peddled your erroneously listed good earlier on, Nobody, I would trust you more?

None of those sites look trustworthy.

You don't have it, (or "Bitter Love") do you Nobody? (Please!)

Its a song he wrote about them being sponsered by some company on the French tour I believe I read about that in the Rough Guide to Pink Floyd I believe.

And how many of those sites were created by you, Nobody?

On THIS site: http://forum.neptunepinkfloyd.co.uk/vie ... &view=next it's called "Flight From Fantasy."

If I'm not mistaken (and I admit that I very well could be,) the title as I am so insistent on it being called appears in an interview with Roger in the Wish You Were Here tab book.

If that IS true, rest assured that I will take Roger's casual mention of it in an interview over your assertions to the other any day of the week.

Strike Two; Ball One.
