Pink Floyd Pigs on the wing (8-track version) - Reimagined and recreated.

Oh My gosh. Do I love this one or what! That little bridge, or as Jon Carin called it, the original Mother demo is by far one of the sweetest solos David Gilmour. Performed by Snowy White this particular mix was only released stateside on the 8-track version of the “Animals“ album. Later on a version would also be released by Snowy White. A special version of the song was made for the 8-track cartridge release. The 8-track format featured a loop-play function where the end of the recording looped back to the beginning, allowing an album to play continuously without having to turn over the cartridge. To exploit this feature, the special 8-track version of the song linked part 2 and part 1 with a guitar solo, performed by Snowy White, who would later play the guitar solo in live performances on the 1977 In the Flesh Tour. The complete version of the song, including the instrumental bridge, was re-released on White’s Goldtop compilation album in 1995. (Wikipedia)
