Pink Floyd and the Incredible String Band.
Pink Floyd.
As mentioned before, there are three tracks on Side 2.
This is the “lyrics sleeve” for it:
As you can see, Track 1 is called “Pigs (Three different types)”. This is a brilliant, soft rocker, but the main thing I love about it is the repeated refrain “Ha ha charade you are”. Then comes another long song called “Sheep”. This is a somewhat heavier rocker with an odd, robotic distortion of the 23rd Psalm in the middle. It is another splendid song, but without doubt its best feature is its cadence, which is fantastic, shimmering electric guitar by Dave Gilmour, which in my view is the best thing he ever played, which is saying something!
As noted above, the Side ends with an optimistic version of the pessimistic first track on Side 1.
These are respectively the left and right sides of the inside of the gatefold sleeve:
