For what reason did Radio London ban play of Pink Floyd's 1st UK Single on EMI records?

EDIT - There may be a break in transmission till I get home, I hope someone gets this so I can pass on the baton.

I don't know, but was it Interstellar Overdrive or Astronomy Domine? Or neither for that matter?

The first single on EMI was "Arnold Layne"

ironic background - Radio London was considered at the time to be freer "pirate Radio" - where all would tune-in to avoid the music censorship prevalent at the BBC and hear the latest underground hits.

I'm guessing another question may be in order -

unless folks signs in against this I'll gladly post a less challenging question.

i'm giving this till 8, then the and easier question will appear.

 

[NightmaresDad]

was that song about molesting a baby or something?

Nope

Clue "Arnold Layne - had a strange hobby"

Google may do the rest ...

 

[sandgk]

OK -well I think this thing needs to go onto another question.

Answer to Arnold Layne Question

Arnold's strange hobby was collecting womens clothes - from washing lines.

The theme of a clothes filching tranvestite was too much even for the trend setting Radio London to allow on their airwaves.

New Question -- Asked because someone I knew was convinced that "The wall" was the first time Floyd had ever made music for a film ...

Truth and the Question - - Pink Floyd was commissioned to make soundtrack music for 3 full length feature films well before the Wall was released. All three "scores" were released on albums. This question concerns just one of those releases.

Easy Part - What was the name of the film, the score to which was released under the title Obscured By Clouds?

La Vallee

Yeah, me too...

Anyway, he goes...

Speaking of Movies, in Pompeii David Gilmore is talking about how the public precieves the band. What does he say the band is not?

Before I go to LOST --

here are a couple of really good Floyd sites

LINK 1

Pink Floyd Hyperbase

The last one is one of the few places you can get the Lyrics to Point Me At The Sky.
