Architectural Abdabs (Pink Floyd): 1966 (Acetate Source) shn

cd_scan_small
Roger Waters left Cambridge in 1962 to study architecture at the Regent Street Polytechnic in London. There he met fellow student Nick Mason. In 1963 they both joined the existing group, Sigma 6.
Sigma 6 was also known as the Megadeaths (or Meggadeaths), Leonard's Lodgers, The Tea Set (or The T-Set), The Abdabs, The Architectural Abdabs, and The Screaming Abdabs.
As The Tea Set, their personnel consisted of guitarists Rado "Bob" Klose and Roger Waters, drummer Nick Mason, and pianist Richard Wright. After a brief stint with a lead vocalist named Chris Dennis, blues and folk guitarist and vocalist Syd Barrett joined the band. Waters then moved to bass and Wright to full time keyboards.
This mini CD contains a CD with 2 tracks by the Architectural Abdabs (early incarnation of Pink Floyd) and is originally released in 1966.
One is a cover of a track called "I'm A King Bee" the other is a Syd composition entitled "Lucy Leave"; both feature Syd on guitar and vocals.
Also, it's worth noting that the sound quality is pretty good considering the tracks were copied from the original acetate pressing.
Comes in a plain white slipcase with a 120 page book entitled "Syd Barrett - A Fish Out Of Water" (adapted from wikipedia).

01. King Bee
02. Lucy Leave

Encoded to Wav and then to .shn from the original mini-cd Architectural Abdabs, from the book "Fish out of water"
