The BBC documentary, "EMI... And Me" (see the news item from last month for more details) featured a short Pink Floyd segment. Following a passage talking about the Beatles "Sgt Pepper" album, the show then entered its "Hippie Hippie Shake" segment.
Starting with a bit of footage of a '67 outdoor "happening", with a youth looking remarkably like Roger relaxing with a young lady (see picture, left), and a voiceover commenting that the rise of psychedelia had meant "EMI [were] frightened of being left behind", the sounds and visions of the Look Of The Week Astronomy Domine performance appeared. Three people were then interviewed:
Norman Smith (EMI Producer 1966-71): I wasn't very impressed with their music, if you could call it that, but their light show - that was pretty impressive. But, they were obviously gathering a lot of fans.
Peter Jenner (Manager, 1967-70):I saw all these people wearing afghan coats with bells round their necks. I thought, my goodness, it really has become a social movement. It exploded!
Norman Smith: So I thought by this time, because as a producer for EMI, gotta make money for EMI...one's business accumen grew. So I thought from that alone, it didn't matter whether I like their style or not - I think I can make some money here for EMI!
Uncredited fan: It felt that they were really in tune with you, and that I guess they were being aimed at impressionable young twits like me. I really believed it. I still do to a certain degree!
The programme then continued with a discussion of how Harvest Records was created.
