PINK FLOYD stereo " Point me at the Sky " from mono.
"Point Me at the Sky" is the fifth UK single by the British band Pink Floyd, released on 6 December 1968. It was their last single in the UK for nearly a decade. The song was an early collaboration by bassist Roger Waters and guitarist David Gilmour. The single was not released in the US, but was in Canada, Japan, and some European countries.

The vocals on the verse of the song are sung by Gilmour, and the bridge vocals are shared between Gilmour and Waters.
"Point Me at the Sky" has since become one of the rarest of all officially released Pink Floyd recordings. It was not intended for album release, resulting in the recording being mixed in mono only.

The single did not chart in the UK. The B-side, "Careful with That Axe, Eugene", became far more popular, as it was included on two Pink Floyd albums and played regularly at concerts through the early 1970s.

"Point Me at the Sky" was left out of the 1971 collection Relics, though it was re-issued on the 1992 CD collection The Early Singles, a bonus disc in the Shine On box set. The song was released in the United States for the first time in 1978 on a now-rare promotional album, "A Harvest Sampler" (catalog number SPRO-8795/6). This album contained an otherwise unavailable re-channeled stereo version which was derived from the mono mix.
Roger Waters has called "Point Me at the Sky" a "notable failure" of the post-Barrett era. Following its lack of chart success, the band decided to stop releasing singles in the U.K. altogether and concentrate only on albums, since, according to Waters, "we were no bloody good at it."
