PINK FLOYD
Obscured By Clouds
Music from 'LA VALLEE'
ORIGINAL UK HARVEST (SHSP 4020) FIRST PRESSING (June 1972) OF PINK FLOYD'S "Obscured By Clouds" - BASED ON THEIR SOUNDTRACK TO BARBET SCHROEDER'S FILM "La Vallee"
At this point in their career, Pink Floyd were not new to scoring movies. They had already scored the films More and Zabriskie Point in 1969 and 1970 respectively. The band were already working on The Dark Side of the Moon, but production was interrupted when the band travelled to France to score the movie.
Nick Mason refers to the project:
"After the success of More, we had agreed to do another sound track for Barbet Schroeder. His new film was called La Vallée and we travelled over to France to record the music in the last week of February... We did the recording with the same method we had employed for More, following a rough cut of the film, using stopwatches for specific cues and creating interlinking musical moods that would be cross-faded to suit the final version... The recording time was extremely tight. We only had two weeks to record the soundtrack with a short amount of time afterwards to turn it into an album."
While recording the music, the band were free to use "standard rock song construction" to their advantage, and such was the case for "Obscured by Clouds". The title track featured an early use of electronic drums, or "electric bongos" as Mason calls them. Rick Wright foreshadows what is to come later with his use of synthesisers on this album. A droning note (played on an EMS VCS3 synthesiser) begins the album. This song was often used to open their live shows in the following years. The band also used themes to their advantage. The melody played in "Burning Bridges" is echoed later in "Mudmen". The song "Childhood's End" is said to have been inspired by Arthur C. Clarke's novel of the same name.
"Free Four" was the first Pink Floyd song to get significant airplay in the U.S., and the first to deal directly with the death of Eric Fletcher Waters, Roger Waters' father.

Near Mint or NM condition records are unscratched. If the label has stickers or tape, this must be noted.
Essentially, they look like they just came from the store.
Very Good Plus condition records will have very few scratches. Without close inspection, they might pass for Near Mint copies.
Very Good condition records have a fair amount of scratches, but they by no means appear "beat up".
Very Good Minus condition records are starting to appear quite scratched. Still, when played, they play through, although the surface noise is becoming distracting. Many singles are commonly found in this condition.
Good condition records look scratched--basically allover, but they'll play through well enough to enjoy the song.
Fair condition records are generally worthless unless the record is rare. They're scratched up and have distracting surface noise.
