It Was Fifty Years Ago Today

That this album was released, it has been popular 
ever since. Nobody knows how many times over
it has 'paid for itself' as a recording. Few would want 
to guess how often it is performed live by tribute bands.

Like the subject matter the albums tackles,
the album has passed into myth and legend.

For the creators of the work still working, Nick Mason
Roger Waters, and David Gilmour this has been
problematic-how to create strong new work
and resolve past royalties disputes without
the lawyers who will settle the matter 
getting most of the money?

'If only', Waters Gilmour and Mason might think,
'We had divided the credits better in the  first place.'.
Lyrics; Roger Waters', Sound design Nick Mason

all music Water/Gilmour/Mason/Wright,

contribution to 'The Great Gig In the Sky'. 
This would have created more agreement later.
