Pink Floyd - See Emily Play (1967)
MUNROWS RETRO
"See Emily Play" is the first track on the US version of the LP that started it all for Pink Floyd, The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, released in 1967.
It was also the band's second UK single following their debut hit, "Arnold Layne" (which Americans would not hear for the first time until the release
of Relics in 1971). This is a synchronization of "See Emily Play" with the recently discovered (2009) home video of Pink Floyd's performance from
Top of the Pops, BBC TV, aired in July 1967, and featuring Syd Barrett on lead vocal and lead guitar. Although badly damaged in places, there are
large portions of the tape that are quite clear and much better enhanced by colorization and enlargement for wide screen. However, only the gods
of technology will ever find a way to fully restore the images distorted by tape damage. I have done what I can to improve its appearance. The sync
job turned out excellent, but, like another Pink Floyd performance I did, "Astronomy Domine," it was very hard to figure out ... harder in fact. I hope
you enjoy this archive from the past and the quality CD recording ... the original Pink Floyd with Syd Barrett, performing "See Emily Play" from 1967.
Any Pink Floyd fans out there?
Pink Floyd - Biding My Time (1969) HQ
MUNROWS RETRO
"Biding My Time" was recorded by Pink Floyd in June 1969, but remained unreleased to both US and UK audiences until it appeared on the
Relics album in May 1971. Relics was more than a "greatest hits"/compilation LP, but was a welcome addition to the group's late 1960s repertoire,
containing songs never before heard by American audiences. The album included the previously unreleased gem "Biding My Time" as well as British
B-side singles such as "Paintbox" and "Julia Dream," "Arnold Layne" (an A-side single in the UK only) and the original "Careful With That Axe, Eugene"
(which most US fans had heard only in its live form on Ummagumma).
The blues rock sensation "Biding My Time" is among my favorite early Pink Floyd songs along with "Arnold Layne," "Julia Dream" and "Paintbox."
I don't know if anyone has ever tried to liven it up visually with a music video, but in any event here is my best effort to do just that. Hope you will
all enjoy this little excursion ... hang on to your seats, it's going to be a bumpy ride!

FDNY 343 and the 1979 Honda (thanks CJ!)
In the August of 2001, Dominican Republic native Gerard Baptiste, FDNY firefighter, Ladder 9, purchased a $100 fixer-upper 1979 Honda CB750, despite the
advice of his fellow Ladder 9 firefighters/motorcycle enthusiasts, for his first bike and brought it to his East Village Engine 33/Ladder 9 firehouse where he
intended to work on its restoration for use as his first motorcycle.
The bike sat in the firehouse and its beat-up condition became a running joke among Baptiste’s fellow firefighters, who nicknamed him Biscuits for his habit of
carrying dog treats as an overture to meet local dog walkers.
Gerald Baptiste served with the U.S. Army National Guard and FDNY Ladder Company 9, one of three firefighters from his firehouse to die at Ground Zero,
was last seen evacuating people from the north tower of the World Trade Center.
After Baptiste’s death on 9/11, the surviving members of his company took on the project of restoring the bike. With support from enthusiasts across the country,
the 1979 Honda was transformed into a memorial motorcycle now known as the "Dream Bike."
According to the book “Motorcycle Dream Garages” by Lee Klancher, a pair of reporters from Backroads magazine attended a fundraiser at the firehouse in October
2001 and noticed the bike behind a pile of donations. When asked about it, veteran firefighter Michael Wernick called it “garbage” and said he planned to throw it out.
Backroads’ Jeff Kurtzman wrote a column about the forgotten motorcycle, and the response from readers was so overwhelming that Kurtzman’s Backroads colleague
Brian Rathjen reached out to Honda and Progressive Insurance, who agreed to help. Spearheaded by the late Stephen Lovas, owner of a New Jersey motorcycle shop,
and with the assistance of grieving firefighters, the Dream Bike project began.
A 2004 documentary, ''F.D.N.Y. Dream Bike,'' by filmmakers John Allison and Tim O’Grady recounted the rehabilitation effort.

FDNY Dream Bike Short Version
Following his line of duty death during the 9/11 tragedy, a Ladder 9 member decided to restore the bike in Gerard’s memory. What followed is truly an amazing story -
over the course of 15 months with the support of his fellow FDNY members, motorcycle enthusiasts, Backroads Magazine, American Honda, a motorcycle restoration
shop in New Jersey and financial support from corporations, the bike which was in deplorable condition was completely restored to the pristine condition shown above.
It didn’t have a permanent home for several years. It resided in Werwick’s garage for a while before he and his wife decided to auction it off and donate the proceeds
to an educational fund established for the children of firefighters killed in the attacks. When the bike didn’t reach the reserve price, they raffled it instead. The winner
was a woman in California, who gave the bike to a fireman who lost a brother on 9/11. That firefighter gave it back to the Werwicks, who donated it to the 9/11 Memorial Museum,
which was in the planning stages at the time.
This truly unique bike is shown on display in the FASNY Museum of Firefighting in Hudson, New York.
The top of the gas tank includes an ornate cross surrounded by 10 roses, 2 helmets (one with 33 and the other with 9) symbolizing the Engine 33 and Ladder 9 house.

WE CELEBRATE “SPACE MONSTERS” AND HORROR MOVIE LEGEND CAROLINE MUNRO!
Often referred to as Britain’s “First Lady of Fantasy”, Caroline Munro started her career as a model in the sixties and took roles in numerous British horror movies
leading to a long and varied career in the film industry. Munro was a Bond girl in The Spy Who Loved Me, starred in her own sci-fi vehicle Starcrash and was cast
as the female lead in notorious 80’s slasher flick Maniac. Never one to rest on her laurels, Caroline now has her own column in Space Monsters magazine, is working
on several movie, television and book projects and continues to be a hugely popular guest at film conventions around the world.
Here at Space Monsters magazine we decided it was about time to not only celebrate Caroline’s illustrious past but to bring her back into the public consciousness
by looking at what she is doing now as well as Munro’s plans for the future.
So today we launch CAROLINE MUNRO WEEK where we will be sharing news, comments, features, exclusive pics and a few words from the lady herself! If you are
on Twitter start sharing our posts and your own memories and pictures of Caroline using the hashtag #CelebrateCarolineMunro.
To start our celebrations we are offering the Official Caroline Munro Poster Magazine at a bargain sale price of only £6.95 over on Amazon.co.uk – and remember,
we ship worldwide – that includes the USA, Japan, Europe, Australia, Canada, Australia and the UK! This very special, limited edition publication is an exclusive
magazine put together by Caroline, Space Monsters editor Cyberschizoid and publishing legend Dez Skinn which folds out into a giant poster almost 2 feet by 3 feet.
Features and articles include an extensive filmography (the most up-to-date ever!), a personal message from Caroline Munro, a brand new interview, gorgeous
photographs (many from Caroline’s private collection) and more!

Caroline Munro - This Sporting Life
Before she appeared in Bond films, horror films and other wonderfully cheesy B-movies,
Caroline Munro went into a studio and recorded the first of several singles she'd release
over the years.
This B-side, however, features Eric Clapton, Steve Howe, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker!
