Pink Floyd - Ummagumma (1969) [Remastered 1994] 2CD + BONUS

UMMAGUMMA is a double album released in 1969. The first disc is a live recording, the second one contains individual compositions by each member of the band.

The live part of Ummagumma was recorded live at Mothers Club, Birmingham, on 27th April 1969 and the following week at Manchester College of Commerce, on 2nd May 1969. The studio part included four solo segments (one half-side of each LP) by Richard Wright, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, and Nick Mason.

The album was released in the UK on 25th October 1969 and then in the USA on 10th November 1969. In 1987, the album was released for the first time on a two CD set. A digitally re-mastered version was released in 1994 in the UK and 1995 in the USA. The remastered CD was also issued as mini LP replica in Japan in May 2001 and in December 2007 as a part of the Oh By The Way box in Europe.

On the remastered CD, Part 1 of Sysyphus was splitted into two tracks and called Part 1 and Part 2. Part 2 on vinyl became Part 3 on CD, and Part 3 and Part 4 were combined on the CD into Part 4. (The original Part 4 begins with the large orchestral thud.) The Narrow Way and The Grand Vizier's Garden Party were also split into their original three parts for easier navigation.

The cover of the original LP varies between the European and US/Canadian releases. The UK version has the album Gigi leaning against the wall immediately above the 'Pink Floyd' letters. On most copies of the US album version, the Gigi cover was airbrushed to a plain white sleeve, apparently because of copyright concerns. The original US and Canadian copies do show the Gigi cover, and it was restored for the US remastered CD edition.

Two version of front cover exists: Includes the Gigi LP or includes a blank LP.

The inner gatefold art shows several black and white photos of the band members. Original vinyl editions showed Roger Waters with his first wife, but she has been cropped out of the picture on all CD editions. Excerpt: Japanese and European mini LP replica.

The album title comes from a slang word for sexual intercourse.
