The Tables - See Emily Play (Pink Floyd Cover)

From '' See Emily Play / Arnold Layne '' Label: Two Zero Records – TZR 002 Format: Vinyl, 7", 45 RPM, EP Country: Norway Released: 2000 Tracklist A See Emily Play Organ – Reg Trademark B Arnold Layne Guitar – Reg Trademark Organ – Mirja ------------------------ "See Emily Play" is the second single by English psychedelic rock band Pink Floyd. Written by original frontman Syd Barrett and recorded on 23 May 1967, it featured "The Scarecrow" as its B-side. Though it was initially released as a non-album single, the song appeared on the US edition of their debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967). It later appeared on the compilations Relics (1971), Works (1983), Shine On (1992), Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd (2001), The Piper at the Gates of Dawn 40th Anniversary Edition (2007), and most recently on A Foot in the Door -- The Best of Pink Floyd (2011). "See Emily Play" is included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list and reached no.6 in the UK singles chart. Background "See Emily Play" is also known as "Games for May", after a free concert in which Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd performed. The slide guitar work on the song was done by Barrett using a plastic ruler. The train depicted on the single's sleeve was drawn by him. The song only stayed in the band's setlist for a few months, and was last played on 25 November 1967 in Blackpool. It was reportedly about a girl named Emily, whom Barrett claimed he saw while sleeping in the woods after taking a psychedelic drug. He later stated that the story about sleeping in the woods and seeing a girl before him was made up "...all for publicity." According to A Saucerful of Secrets: The Pink Floyd Odyssey, by Nicholas Schaffner, Emily is the Honourable Emily Young, daughter of Wayland Hilton Young, 2nd Baron Kennet, and nicknamed "the psychedelic schoolgirl" at the UFO Club. An article in Mojo magazine called "See the Real Emily" supposedly shows a picture of Barrett's Emily. Recording and release The details as to the recording remain shrouded in mystery due to the lack of paperwork in the EMI archive. Engineer Jeff Jarrett recalls that "See Emily Play" was recorded in a much longer form which was then edited down for the single release. It was recorded at Sound Techniques studios on 21 May 1967. There was much trickery involved in the recording with backward tapes, much use of echo and reverb, and the first piano bridge between the first chorus and second verse was recorded at a slow pace then sped up for the final master. The four-track master tape was wiped or misplaced. It no longer exists and has never been mixed into true stereo; it was reprocessed for fake stereo on the 1971 Relics compilation. The US single (Tower 356) was released by Tower Records three times between July 1967 and late 1968. Each time it failed to duplicate its UK success. Television performances Top of the Pops, BBCTV, July 1967 Pink Floyd performed the song three times on BBC TV's Top of the Pops. The first performance was on the 6 July 1967 edition, hosted by Alan Freeman. They returned for the following week's edition, 13 July, hosted by DJ Pete Murray. The last appearance was on 27 July 1967. Other versions A cover of "See Emily Play" by Canadian group Three to One (aka Okee Pokey Band) is on the 1967 Yorkville album CTV After Four. This version also appears on the psychedelic compilation album Pebbles, Volume 14. David Bowie recorded a version of "See Emily Play" for Pin Ups in 1973. A cover appears as (one of two) B-sides on a 1991 CD single ("I Am Here") from The Grapes of Wrath, a Canadian jangle-pop group. The same version is available on the 1994 compilation album Seems Like Fate 1984--1992. All About Eve played the song live c. 1992 and recorded a demo, which was not released until 2006 as part of the Keepsakes compilation. The song was covered by Arjen Anthony Lucassen on his 1997 album Strange Hobby and The Changelings on their 2002 album Astronomica. Judy Dyble, the original lead singer of Fairport Convention, recorded a cover of "See Emily Play" in 2004.

A cover appears on the 2008 album I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too by Martha Wainwright. A cover of also appears on the 2008 re-release of the album The End Is Begun by the band 3. This is a heavily modified version, with an added bridge made by rearranging lyrics from the final verse. #psychedelicrock #indierock
