"More" Album Description:
In the late 1960s, amidst the cultural revolution and artistic exploration, Pink Floyd, the iconic British rock band, embarked on a unique musical journey with their soundtrack for the film "More." Released as a 12" Vinyl LP Album, this particular edition, the 5th UK/England release, stands as a testament to the band's contribution to the era's musical landscape.
The soundtrack, a creation of Pink Floyd's artistic prowess, was born from a collaboration that offered both creative freedom and financial support. The band was granted £600 and complete ownership of all the material they produced for the film. This deal not only demonstrated the growing recognition of Pink Floyd's musical prowess but also marked a significant departure from traditional industry practices.
The album, housed under the record label EMI Columbia SCX 6346, encapsulates the sonic experimentation and atmospheric elements that Pink Floyd was becoming known for. The stampers, with markings YAX 3868-1G / YAX 3869-1G, bear witness to the meticulous craftsmanship that went into the production of this musical gem.
Released in 1969, in the heart of a transformative period in global culture, "More" found its place among the artistic expressions that challenged conventions. The film itself, directed by Barbet Schroeder, delved into the counterculture of the time, and Pink Floyd's soundtrack seamlessly complemented the visual narrative.
Several tracks from the "More" soundtrack persisted in Pink Floyd's live set list until 1971, underscoring the enduring quality of the compositions. Songs like "Cymbaline" and "Green is the Colour" not only enriched the film but also became integral parts of Pink Floyd's live performances, leaving a lasting impact on audiences.
