Works is a Pink Floyd compilation album released in 1983 by their former American label, Capitol Records, to compete with their then-current album The Final Cut. The main interest for collectors is the track "Embryo", an outtake from Ummagumma that later became a concert staple in a greatly elongated form, which originally only appeared in January 1970 on a scarce various artists compilation album promoting Pink Floyd's UK label Harvest Records entitled Picnic – A Breath of Fresh Air. Also unique to Works, the tracks "Brain Damage" and "Eclipse" are presented as alternate versions, possibly stereo mixes from the master tapes of the quadraphonic edition of The Dark Side of the Moon.

The cover art for the album was inspired by the c. 1948 poster "Nederland industrialiseert" ("Holland industrialises")[3] designed by Dutch graphic artist Wladimir Flem.

Alternate recordings

  • "Brain Damage" and "Eclipse" both have alternate mixes. Changes to these include different cut times between the two songs as well as the audience heard at the end of "Fearless"/ beginning of "Brain Damage". Another change is that some of the spoken parts from the tracks are at different volumes — the primary reason for this is that the versions featured here are stereo folddowns of the quadraphonic mix.
  • Some other tracks are present in alternate "crossfade" mixes, most notably on the segues between "See Emily Play"/"Several Species of Small Furry Animals" and "Fearless"/"Brain Damage".

Merry Christmas aksman, hope you a have a great holiday season.
You and your fellow rippers make it like Christmas for us everyday.

I've been meaning to ask if you'd have any interest in ripping some
Screaming Trees Albums sometime in the future, either original pressings
or the reissues?

If you haven't heard of them, Mark Lanegan was the lead singer. They were
a Seattle band from the same period as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Sound Garden,
Alice in Chains, Mother Love Bone, Mud Honey, Candlebox, TAD...ect
