Relics is a compilation by the rock band Pink Floyd that was released in 1971. It contains a compilation of songs from previous albums as well as various songs that had not previously appeared on an album. These include the band's first two singles, Arnold Layne , See Emily Play, and other material that was composed and recorded with former band leader Syd Barrett . The studio version of the song Biding My Time by Roger Waters , which was previously only performed live by the band as part of the composition The Man / The Journey , is also included.
Relics reached number 32 in the UK and number 152 in the US charts .
Cover
The cover is a drawing by the drummer Nick Mason , which is supposed to represent an imaginative, utopian musical instrument. This instrument roughly resembles a church organ installed in a mechanical monster. It contains the inscription “A Bizarre Collection of Antiques & Curios”, which can be understood as the subtitle of the album. In the version of Relics on CD released in 1996, the cover features this same instrument, only this time as a photo of a model made from the original drawing.
