ONE INCH OF LOVE
IS ONE INCH OF SHADOW
LOVE IS THE SHADOW
THAT RIPENS
THE WINE
Ummagumma
is the
fourth album
by English
Rock band
It is a
double album
and was
released on
November,7th 1969
by Harvest Records.
The first disc
consists of
live recordings
from concerts at
Mothers Club
in Birmingham
and the
College of Commerce
in Manchester
that contained
part of their
normal set list
of the time,
while the
second contains
solo compositions
by each member
of the band
recorded at
EMI Studios
(now Abbey Road Studios).
The artwork was
designed by
regular
Pink Floyd
collaborators
Hipgnosis
and features
a number of
pictures of the band
combined to give
a Droste effect.
It was the
last album cover
to feature
the band.
Although
Ummagumma
was well received
at the time of release,
and was a
top-five hit
in the
UK album charts,
it has since
been looked upon
unfavorably
by critics
and by the band,
who have expressed
lukewarm opinions
about it
in interviews.
Title
The album's title
supposedly comes
from
Cambridge slang
for sex,
commonly used by
Pink Floyd
friend and
occasional roadie
Iain "Emo" Moore,
who would say,
"I'm going back
to the house for
some ummagumma".
According to Moore,
he made up
the term himself.
Drummer
Nick Mason
later said the album
was titled
"because it sounded
interesting and nice."
