I really hope that's not the complete tracklist of the 3rd disc. As I've mentioned earlier there is really only 3 items left over from the Piper session that exist. A version of Matilda Mother with vocals from the Floyd's first EMI session, an alternate instrumental take of Ch. 24 that reached the overdub stage, and the unique mono mix of Interstellar from the Arnold Layne EP. It would be a shame if all 3 aren't used..
Well, the bonus tracks are... somewhat disappointing. Still better than nothing, though; I guess Dawn Of The Piper Rev. B is due now.
I wonder why they included the stereo Apples and Oranges but not the stereo Paintbox, though.
What could the "other activities" be, I wonder? More showing up at Syd tribute gigs? A live album? Roger doing something special at one of his gigs (any alteration to his robotic setlist would be excellent)?

That would be nice, but i bet we will just keep on guessing untill the press release
gosh I cant understand why someone would want to download Dawn of the Piper or What Syd Wants when they could buy an expensive reissue of an album they already have (three vinyl copies in my case)

These songs are actually from A Saucerful Of Secrets sessions, so I guess we will have to wait till 2008 for another extortion in the form of A Saucerful Of Secrets 40th anniversary 3 CD pack with these two (that we all already have) and mono mixes (that no one needs).

The same goes for that one.
The only thing possible and appropriate to include beside the already mentioned material would be the original session of Remember A Day, if such a thing exists at all.

Why? It Would Be So Nice has nothing to do with Piper. It was recorded after Syd left the band. Also, we already have a great sounding version of that track on the Early Singles disc.
