Unplugged Fest: 'Arnold Layne' by Syd Barrett/Pink Floyd

[cuthbert]

Getting this one in just under the wire...  

Here's my unplugged take on 'Arnold Layne' written by Syd Barrett, which was the first Pink Floyd single and released in March of 1967. It's a funny little story of a 'clothes collector' which Radio London found offensive enough to ban (nowadays, it's quite tame), even though it reached the top 20 and launched the group.

Guild D-25 guitar double-tracked
Bina harmonium (an Indian pump-organ) double-tracked
Bongos & maracas
Door slam & chain rattle

I hope you enjoy it,

Wonderful stuff Cuthbert.  A great song done really well - and I absolutely love the harmonium which works brilliantly with the eastern style harmonies.  How did you come across one of those?  Perhaps get a couple of tabla?
