Annotation

CD1: UK 8-Track Version Pt. 1 (Left Right stereo swapped)
CD2: Tracks 1-6: UK 8-Track Version Pt. 2 (Left Right stereo swapped)
CD2: Tracks 7-16: The Piper at the Gates of Dawn - US A Nice Pair Vinyl version
CD3: The Piper at the Gates of Dawn - A Nice Pair Vinyl Transfer
CD4: A Saucerful of Secrets - A Nice Pair Vinyl Transfer

UK 8-track has a different running order but otherwise same tracks as normal with some slight mastering\transfer differences. Oddest thing is the left and right channels have been flipped. (!) Not sure if this is the bootleg or the 8-track. Especially obvious on tracks like Interstellar Overdrive.

CD3: The US edition of A Nice Pair had some different tracks on it.
- Astronomy Domine - Live version from Ummagumma
- Flaming - the US Single
- Interstellar Overdrive - ends a little earlier, silence before The Gnome
