I got my information from Pink Floyd through the eyes off... book but it's A-Z's always seemed a bit inaccurate
And to Rosm, try the Pink Floyd hyperbase, just enter that in google and it's the first site to come up (if anyone else has a link then that would be better) and it should have the answer to most of your questions
Massed Gadgets Of Hercules - title given to A Saucerful Of Secrets on the BBC session spring 1968.
Baby Blue Shuffle In D Major - title given to early version of that kind of instrumental jam used in The Narrow Way Part 1 and also partially in Country Song (from Zabriskie Point expanded soundtrack) on BBC session late 1968.
Daybreak - title given to Grantchester Meadows during The Man/The Journey suite concerts in 1969.
Merry Xmas Song - mystery song, I've heard it's Nick Mason appearing on a Robert Wyatt 1974 Christmas single or a fun song made by Pink Floyd in the 70s.

um i suppose this would be under obscure recordings. being a pf fan and a guitarist i'm desperately in need of some joker's wild. I'd never heard of them untill flicking through my "Record Collector Rare record price guide" i saw the name, two items (500 copies of the album and 50 copies of the single) both worth 1,000 pounds. It said beneath it "See also Pete Gilmour, Pink FLoyd" Does anyone have a recording of that or no where i can listen to some of their stuff? thanks.
I have the Jokers Wild stuff on the multi disc (14 I think) tree Treeful Of Secrets. I can tell you that I listened to in once and was not that impressed.
