Relics

Relics is a 1971 Pink Floyd compilation that gathers early singles, B-sides and album tracks from the band’s late 1960s and early 1970s period. The collection highlights the contrast between Syd Barrett era psychedelic pop and whimsy and the more atmospheric, instrumental and experimental pieces that pointed toward the group’s later progressive and art rock work. Overall it presents a compact overview of Pink Floyd’s evolving sound during their formative years, mixing concise melodic songs with extended studio textures.
