They managed to find the take with Syd of Kevin Ayers' "Singing a Song In
The Morning" for the recent reissue of 'Joy Of A Toy', so that would seem
to bode well for this possibility ... (and with today's technology, if the
tape exists at all, it can be *made* playable, and then "fixed" pretty
well digitally)

(now, if they could only officially release the Pink Floyd recordings
of "King Bee", "Lucy Leave", "Scream thy Last Scream" and "Vegetable
Man" ...)
