Artist: PINK FLOYD
Album: UMMAGUMMA REMASTERED (2CD BOX)

Year: 1969/ 1994
Media type: CD

Ummagumma is a double album. One disc was recorded live at Mothers Club, Birmingham, on 27 April 1969 and the following week at Manchester College of Commerce, on 2 May 1969; the other included four solo segments, one half-side of vinyl each by David Gilmour, Richard Wright, Nick Mason and Roger Waters.

The album was released in the UK on 25 October 1969 and then in the U.S. on 10 November 1969. The album reached #5 on the UK album charts and #74 on the US album charts, marking the first time the band reached the top 100 in the U.S. The album was certified Gold in the U.S. in February 1974 and Platinum in March 1994. Once released, critics have been quoted as saying it sounded like "Rick Wright and Roger Waters had sex on a bunch of instruments and recorded the sound they made."

In 1987, the album was re-released on a two CD set. A digitally re-mastered version was released in 1994 in the UK and 1995 in the US. Neither CD release includes the picture of Waters' first wife, which had appeared on the inner-gatefold sleeve of the original vinyl issue.

The cover of the original LP varies between the British (and Canadian) and American releases. The British version has the album Gigi leaning against the wall immediately above the 'Pink Floyd' letters. On the original American album version, however, this was airbrushed to a plain white sleeve, apparently because of copyright concerns (though the Gigi cover appears in U.S. CD version's booklet). Inside the cover is a picture of David Gilmour in front of the Elfin Oak. Nick Mason came up with the idea for the rear cover (or cover of the Live Album), which shows the band's equipment laid out on a runway at Biggin Hill Airfield.
