Description

Ummagumma is Pink Floyd's groundbreaking 1969 double album, combining a live recording with a studio album of individual compositions from each band member. Capturing the band during their experimental psychedelic period, the album features powerful live performances of "Astronomy Domine", "Careful With That Axe, Eugene", "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun" and "A Saucerful Of Secrets", alongside ambitious studio works from Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Richard Wright and Nick Mason.

Pressing Notes

SHDW 1 A-1
SHDW 1 B-3
SHDW 2 A-2

These matrices originate from the album's earliest mastering sequence and indicate an early UK pressing manufactured using original EMI metalwork.
