A Tree Full of Secrets
the definitive Pink Floyd rarities compilation
Introduction
On 18 CDs (yes, eighteen!) you'll find all the A and B sides of all the Pink Floyd singles, all the promo, edited, obscured, or remixed versions, and all the soundtracks bits of your favorite Pink Floyd and solo tracks.
Basically, this collection includes (nearly) all songs officially released, but not on regular album (compilations, singles, promos, soundtracks...), as well as rare versions from acetates and studio outtakes. We didn't consider live tracks (concerts, radio or TV appearances), unless they're part of a single or a promo single. We also left out of this scope the Syd Barrett solo rarities, because it mainly consists in slightly different mixes of regular versions (we'd like to let a more hardcore fan than we are, doing the job). Some other things are not included, mainly because they could be treed separately, as a whole entity: "Live At Pompeii" and "The Wall" soundtracks, mono editions of albums ("The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn", "A Saucerful Of Secrets"), quadraphonic editions of albums ("Atom Heart Mother", "The Dark Side Of The Moon", "Wish You Were Here")...
We tried to make the most definitive Pink Floyd rarities compilation, in both completeness and sound quality. For each track, we tried to find the best sounding version available. As a result, we're proud to say that a lot of tracks sound better than any other version available elsewhere.
Rules
What we mean with the word "rarity":
1) Song officially released, but not on regular albums (compilations, singles, soundtracks...) [1]
2) Alternate mix (acetate...)
3) Outtake from unreleased studio session
4) Demo
[1] with an exception for the stuff being a part of a whole "entity"
(most of them are available separately, as other projects).
For instance, the following stuff is not included:
- "Live At Pompeii" soundtrack
- "The Wall" soundtrack
- mono "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn", "A Saucerful Of Secrets"
- quadraphonic "Atom Heart Mother", "Dark Side Of The Moon", "Wish You Were Here"
- "Delicate Sound Of Thunder" video
- "P*U*L*S*E" video
"Chronological" rules for tracklist:
1) tracks are sorted by recording date, not release date [2]
2) different versions of the same track with same recording date are sorted by release date [3]
3) singles from the same album are listed in the same order than on the album [4]
[2] with an exception for the demos, placed before the actual release, to save "continuity" and to hear how the song evolved from the demo to the released version.
[3] if the release date is the same or unknown, the versions are sorted from the most "usual" to the most "unusual": single version -> extended version -> promo version
[4] unless the recording dates are known with precision for each track (in this case, see rule nr.1)
Contents
There are in fact 17 audio CDs and 1 data CD. This latter CD contains all the artworks and booklets (with all you ever dreamt to know about each track of each CD!), and some bonus files (that we hope you'll enjoy).
Now, how are all these tracks organized into 17 audio CDs?
The first 8 CDs contain the Pink Floyd rarities (from 1965 to 1994).
The next 6 CDs contain the soundtracks (from Pink Floyd and members).
The last 3 CDs contain the solo members rarities.
The 17 CDs are split into 9 volumes (each volume is a 2 CD set, except volume 9, which is a single CD). So, there are 9 different artworks, and the whole Rarities compilation will take the place of 9 jewel boxes in your CD collection.
Volume 1 (CD1 - CD2): Pink Floyd Rarities 1965 - 1968
All the available versions of the "early singles" (mono, fake stereo, stereo, acetate, promo edit), rare studio outtakes ("Let's Roll Another One", 1967 Abbey Road studio sessions...), superb versions of the unreleased "Scream Thy Last Scream"/"Vegetable Man" single, rare promo versions of "Remember A Day", "Let There Be More Light" and "Corporal Clegg".
Volume 2 (CD3 - CD4): Pink Floyd Rarities 1969 - 1973
Songs from "Ummagumma" era, "Moonhead", rare Italian single "In Concerto", "One Of These Days" demos, "One Of These Days"/"Fearless" promo single, Roger The Hat interview and a whole CD (CD4) dedicated to the "Dark Side Of The Moon" rarities (single versions, promo edits, rough mixes, demos, outtakes), compiled in the same order as the album (from "Breathe" to "Eclipse").
Volume 3 (CD5 - CD6): Pink Floyd Rarities 1974 - 1983
Rarities from "Wish You Were Here" era (mainly "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", 7 different versions!), "Animals", "The Wall", "The Final Cut", without forgetting the 1981 version of "Money" and "When The Tigers Broke Free"/"Bring The Boys Back Home" single.
Volume 4 (CD7 - CD8): Pink Floyd Rarities 1987 - 1994
All the post-Waters Pink Floyd rarities: singles and promo CDs from "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason", "The Division Bell" and "P*U*L*S*E".
Volume 5 (CD9 - CD10): Soundtracks 1966 - 1969
Soundtrack from "San Francisco", "Tonite Let's All Make Love In London", "The Committee" (excellent source directly from the film!), "More" and "Zabriskie Point".
Volume 6 (CD11 - CD12): Soundtracks 1970 - 1988
Soundtrack from "The Body" (Roger Waters and Ron Geesin), "La Vallee" (Pink Floyd), "Magritte" (Roger Waters), "The Hit" (Roger Waters and Eric Clapton), "When The Wind Blows" (Roger Waters), "White Of The Eye" (Nick Mason and Rick Fenn). Radio ads for "Live At Pompeii" are also included.
Volume 7 (CD13 - CD14): Soundtracks 1992 - 1999
Soundtrack from "La Carrera Panamericana" (Pink Floyd), "Ruby Takes A Trip" (David Gilmour), "The Art Of Tripping" (Divid Gilmour), "The Colours Of Infinity" (David Gilmour), "The Dybbuck Of The Holy Apple Field" (Roger Waters) and "La Leggenda Del Pianista Sull Oceano" / "Legend Of 1900" (Roger Waters).
Volume 8 (CD15 - CD16): David Gilmour and Roger Waters Rarities
Jokers Wild (featuring a very young David Gilmour) mini LP from 1965, singles from "David Gilmour" and "About Face" solo albums, and all the Roger Waters rarities (from "The Pros And Cons Of Hitch Hiking" to "Amused To Death"), including Waters's song "Incarceration Of A Flower Child" performed by Marianne Faithfull.
Volume 9 (CD17): Rick Wright and Nick Mason Rarities
Rarities from Zee (Rick Wright and Steve Harris), Rick Wright's "Broken China" promo CD and extended version of "Lie For A Lie", from Nick Mason and Rick Fenn, featuring David Gilmour on vocals.

luigui_tkt@hotmail.com
I downloaded every file and all of them were corrupt. Waste of time. I won't be downloading them again.
Too many blogs with too many corrupt or dead links.It's a real let down.
Don'to remove or rename anything. Just download all files and extract using 7zip free app. It will extract everything with no problem whatsoever...
Thanks
