From PandoraoceanbluAndy Jackson had been engineering Pink Floyd records since The Final Cut when he took this on, and the band decamped to Park Gate in Battle and then to Gilmour's houseboat on the Thames to mix it. Eight tracks on paper, closer to five in practice, since they seem to meld together, and the seams are deliberately hard to find. Crowley turns up reciting "At Sea" midway through. It went to number 22, the highest they ever charted, and inside a year McCoy had walked out and taken the name with him. Play it whole or not at all.
