"MASTERS OF ROCK".
Release Dates. Late 1973/Early 1974 - Italy: gennaio 1975 circa.
Brief Statistics.
(1) Si tratta di una compilation di brani dei Floyd uscita solo in Europa, si trova anche negli U.S.A., ma solo d'importazione. Quasi tutte le versioni uscirono con la classica copertina con il titolo, in Germania addirittura in due versioni (Masters of Rock e Masters of Rock Vol. 1). Ma in alcuni paesi, come Olanda e Svezia, il disco uscì invece con una inedita copertina con un disegno stile "pop-art" che raffigurava la band, con Mason, Waters, Wright e Syd Barrett.
(2) Non tutti sanno che, stranamente, in tutte le edizioni di Masters of Rock e di The Best of The Pink Floyd la canzone Matilda Mother è riportata sulla copertina e sull'etichetta come Mathilda Mother, ma non se ne conosce il motivo, visto che la versione originale del titolo sull’album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn era comunque Matilda Mother.
(3) Nel retro delle copertine c'erano altri errori di stampa. Il primo riguardava un brano: in tutte le edizioni in vinile (sia quelle con la copertina originale, sia quelle con la copertina personalizzata da Hermann Baas), sul retro della copertina e sull'etichetta il brano "Candy and a currant bun" è riportato come "Candy and a current bun". Il secondo errore riguardava i crediti di Richard Wright: in tutte le edizioni dei vinili con la copertina personalizzata da Hermann Baas, sul retro viene riportato un errore di stampa: nei crediti dei membri della band, Richard Wright è accreditato come "Rick Wright: Bass guitar & vocals".
