It is nearly 12 minutes long and was composed by Roger Waters, Richard Wright, Nick Mason and David Gilmour.

• ' / ' Released: 19 August 1968 (US only) A Saucerful of Secrets is the second studio album by the English band, released on 29 June 1968 by in the United Kingdom (following adverts in giving that date) and released on 27 July 1968 in the United States. The album was recorded before and after 's departure from the group. With Barrett's behaviour becoming increasingly unpredictable, he was forced to leave the band and was recruited in January 1968. As a result, A Saucerful of Secrets became the only non-compilation Pink Floyd album on which all five band members appeared, the first for Gilmour, with him appearing on six songs (all except '), and the last for Barrett, with him on three (', ' and '). Despite the reference that Gilmour had appeared on six songs, it is actually only five because he was not present on Wright's 'Remember a Day' that Barrett played on (the song was recorded in October 1967 before Gilmour was asked to join the band as a fifth member).

Much of the success of Billy Joel's fifth album, The Stranger, has been attributed to his pairing with producer Phil Ramone, who surely did help turn Joel's tunes into stainless pop, but a heavy focus on Ramone tends to give the producer too much credit, attributing the record's phenomenal success to his presence.

'Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun' was the only song all five members appeared on together. The band's drummer,, has declared A Saucerful of Secrets to be his favourite Pink Floyd album. Upon release, A Saucerful of Secrets reached number nine in the UK charts, but failed to chart at all in the US, being the band's only studio album to do so. The album received mostly positive reviews, though many critics have deemed it inferior to. Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Background [ ] From mid to late 1967, Syd Barrett's erratic behaviour became more apparent, and at one performance of the band's first US tour, he slowly detuned his guitar while on stage. The audience, used to the band's experimental performances, seemed to enjoy such antics, and were unaware of the rest of the band's increasing consternation.

Interviewed on 's show during this tour, Barrett's reply to Boone's questions was a 'blank and totally mute stare', and he kept his lips closed during the mimed performance. Barrett exhibited similar behaviour during the band's first appearance on 's popular TV show. Barrett mimed fairly well for the performance of ', but responded to Clark's questions with no interest or enthusiasm. Recording [ ] with Syd Barrett [ ] The album was recorded at in London. The first songs recorded for the album were ' 'Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun' and an unreleased Barrett track, ', both recorded on 7–8 August 1967.

The two tracks were arranged to be released as a single on 8 September, before it was vetoed by the band's record company,. The band recorded ' at on 9–11 October, and returned later in the month, on 19 October, to record 'Jugband Blues', with producer booking a band, at Barrett's request. During these sessions, Barrett overdubbed a slide-guitar part onto 'Remember a Day', an outtake from sessions. The band took a break from the album sessions to record what became their third single, 'Apples and Oranges', on 26 and 27 October. A few days later, the band recorded the B-side, ', before leaving for a US tour. In November, 'Apples and Oranges' was released as a single but failed to chart at all. The band eventually went back to De Lane Lea and recorded the unreleased track '.

Sometime around Christmas, David Gilmour (Barrett's old school friend) was asked to join the band as a second lead guitarist to cover for Barrett when his erratic behaviour prevented him from performing. As Barrett had, up until then, written (or co-written) most of the songs on the band's debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, as well as the band's three singles up to this point, the initial plan was to keep him in the group as a non-touring member – in similar style to 's recent status in – but this meant that Barrett and the group were essentially separated. For two days from 10 January 1968, Pink Floyd reconvened at EMI Studios, attempting to work on older tracks: Waters' vocals and Wright's organ were overdubbed onto 'Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun', while Mason added vocals to 'Scream Thy Last Scream'. Upon leaving Pink Floyd, Barrett said to: 'I suppose it was really just a matter of being a little offhand about things'.
