Opis:
"Relics" to wybór utworów znanych już z wcześniejszych albumów Pink Floyd oraz kilka kompozycji znanych wcześniej tylko z singli.

Wśród tych pierwszych szczególnie korzystnie prezentują się dynamiczny "The Nile Song" oraz rozimprowizowany "Interstellar Overdrive". Mogą się podobać także piosenki znane z małych płytek, zwłaszcza psychodeliczno - surrealistyczne "See Emily Play" i "Arnold Layne" autorstwa Barretta, wiele uroku ma w sobie również napisana przez Watersa "Julia Dream". Niczym szczególnym nie wyróżnia się "Paintbox" popełniona przez Wrighta, w przeciwieństwie do "Biding My Time", która wyróżnia się... mocno beatlesowskim klimatem.

Dość niespójna składanka, której słucha się jednak całkiem dobrze.

Description:
Relics is a compilation album by Pink Floyd released in 1971 (see 1971 in music). The album was released on May 14 in the UK and July 15 in the United States. A re-mastered CD was released in 1996 with a different album cover; a three-dimensional version of the original sketch drawn by drummer Nick Mason for the initial release.

The release of Relics was sparked by the success of Atom Heart Mother which peaked at #1 on the British charts. The album has been released on numerous occasions, and at times without the proper authority. One such incident involved EMI Australia releasing the album without the bands consent. This led to the LP being withdrawn and the album as a result became a rarity. A reissue of the album in 1996 meant that it could be purchased easily again.[1]

Until the more definitive release of The Early Singles (1992), Relics was most noted for its inclusion of Syd Barrett-era hit singles, "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play", as well as B-sides to three other singles. It also includes a previously-unreleased, studio recording of a Roger Waters composition, "Biding My Time", which had otherwise only been heard by live audiences as part of "The Man/The Journey" concert sequence. The rest of the songs were identical to their album versions.

Relics reached #34 in the UK and #153 in the US. When re-released in the UK on March 9th, the album reached #48.
