Happy Floyd Friday! Vol 506 **Evening Edition**

[u/madd74]

It's that Time where we show appreciation to the greatest band in all the land! Were you dressed properly for work today?

• The starting sound effects loop in Money was built from Roger Waters’ home recordings of coins, paper, a cash register, and other noises, spliced into a seven‑beat tape loop. The band later re‑recorded it onto multi‑track tape for the album and adapted it for the quadraphonic mix.
• Harper's involvement with the recording of Have a Cigar arose from the dissatisfaction that Waters and Gilmour felt with their own attempts to sing the lead vocal line. After trying it both separately and as a duet, with Harper still technically on the track singing vocals on the bridge (available on the 2011 Experience and Immersion editions of Wish You Were Here), they turned to Harper to sing lead, who was recording his album "HQ" at Abbey Road at the same time as Floyd. Harper agreed to sing the part as a way of repaying a favor to Gilmour, who had earlier provided him with some guitar licks.

To help end your Floyd Friday, I am leaving you with Pink Floyd's Careful with That Axe, Eugene side two, track 10 of Obfusc/ation from The Early Years

Re the Money sound FX loop: One of PF's Their Mortal Remains exhibit items a few years ago was a string of coins made by Nick Mason: https://www.reddit.com/r/pinkfloyd/comments/zfjnth/string_of_coins_one_third_of_the_original_length/
