One of the earliest live performances of the album's title track was at this show.

Recording Roger Waters onstage at Leeds University, 28 February 1970. Ron Geesin, who had influenced and collaborated with Waters, co-composed to the title track. Ī remastered CD was released in 1994 in the UK and the US, and again in 2011. 'A really awful and embarrassing record,' said Waters.

This was a trend that would continue on subsequent covers throughout the 1970s.Īlthough it was commercially successful on release, the band – particularly Roger Waters and David Gilmour – have expressed negative opinions of the album. The cover was designed by Hipgnosis, and was the band's first not to feature their name, or have photographs of them on any part of it. It was recorded at EMI Studios (now Abbey Road Studios) in London, and was the band's first album to reach number 1 in the UK, while it reached number 55 in the US, eventually going gold there. It was released by Harvest on 2 October 1970 in the UK, and by Capitol on 10 October 1970 in the US. Atom Heart Mother is the fifth studio album by the English band Pink Floyd.
