JUGLAND
BLUES
Peter
Jenner: 'Jugland Blues' is the ultimate self-diagnosis on a state of schizophrenia...'I'm
most obliged to you for making it clear I'm not here - and I'm wondering
who could be writing this song.' Comment:
Syd Barrett brought in six members of The Salvation Army band to play what
they want for this song. Comment:
What the musicians from the Salvation Army made of being told to "play
what you like" is probably not best thought about, but the result makes
a chilling accompaniment to Barrett's schizophrenic lyrics, giving the album
a very down-beat ending, especially the haunting vocals at the end. Comment:
This track has the only notable differences between the stereo and mono
version, the latter having more guitar and different vocals. In Canada 'A
Nice Pair' included a stereo mix, unknown elsewhere.
