Further to our news story on the 27th June, the rare 1968 footage of Pink Floyd performing three takes of Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun, completed its auction yesterday.

The footage, on offer via the internet auction site eBay, was shot for the BBC and used, in a heavily edited, and red-washed format, in the 1968 documentary All My Loving, which was recently repeated as part of BBC4 TV's look at the sixties. Despite some fairly hectic bidding at times, the film finally finished at an impressive, and pretty fair, £623 to a collector in Europe.

For all of us who missed out on the footage, there is still a 17MB low resolution (but still wonderful!) Windows Media Video format file that you can view or download through this link. At 17MB it is a lengthly download for many, but despite this, is worthwhile!
