[edit] Info

• Outtakes from the album sessions are rumoured to include an unreleased song entitled "The Dark Side Of The Moon", which later became "Brain Damage", and two demo versions of "One Of These Days", both of which have been made available on bootlegs and include cut-up speech samples of Radio DJ Sir Jimmy Young.
• The album was later remastered three times: first by MFSL in 1984 on high-quality vinyl and cassette, then in 1989 for Ultradisc, and finally by Doug Sax (supervised by James Guthrie) for the Shine On box set. This latter digital master was used for a CD reissue with additional artwork, released August 1994 in Europe and April 1995 in the US.
• Storm Thorgerson's original suggestion for the album cover was a close-up shot of a baboon's anus. The band informed him via an inter-continental telephone call whilst on tour in Japan that they would rather have "an ear underwater" (which was colored slightly different on the US and Canadian issues of the album). This image formed the outside of the original gatefold cover, while superimposed black-and-white photographs of the four band members were used for the interior.
• It reached #3 on the UK charts, and #70 in the US.
