Genius Annotation

“Careful With That Axe, Eugene” is the B-side to Pink Floyd’s non-album single, “Point Me At The Sky”.

Although the A-side was not a very noticeable song in the band’s career, “Careful With That Axe, Eugene” became a fan-favourite in the late ‘60s and was played very frequently in the band’s shows for several years.

The studio version was later re-released as part of the Relics compilation (1971), but the song also made an appearance in an actual Pink Floyd album, as part of the Live part of Ummagumma (1969).

Here is the live version included in Ummagumma:
