Weiss jemand etwas über die Story von “Two of a Kind”? Den raren Song habe ich jahrelang auf alten Tapes öfter gehört und mag ihn sehr
Hallo 4D Jörg, es ist in der Tat schwierig, etwas über den Song zu erfahren.
In dem Buch “THE DEAD STRAIGHT GUIDE TO PINK FLOYD” von Toby Manning fand ich auf S. 191 zur CD “The Radio One Sessions” folgenden Text:
“The main purchase-incentiv for these Top Gear and Sounds Of The Seventies sessions from 1970 and 1971 is the otherwise unavailable “Two Of A Kind”, a fascinatingly archetypal Floyd mystery. Rick Wright reportedly wrote the song, but Barrett became convinced he’d written it, and Wright himself professed characteristic confusion when asked about the subject in 1996. Lyrically at least, “Two Of A Kind” sounds like Wright’s work, possessing none of Barrett’s signature wordplay. It also fades away mid-way through, as if Barrett had forgotten it. Otherwise though, apart from wavering mic technique on “Effervescing Elephant”, Barrett is in reasonably together form on the 1970 sessions.”
Vielleicht hilftes dir.
Beste Grüße
Gerd
