In November 1967 Pink Floyd put out their third single, Apples And Oranges. Compared to previous releases See Emily Play and Arnold Layne it was rather slight, although frontman Syd Barrett seemed happy enough.
"It's unlike anything we've ever done before," said Syd. "It's a new sound. Got a lot of guitar in it. It's a happy song, and it's got a touch of Christmas. It's about a girl who I saw just walking around town, in Richmond. The apples and oranges bit is the refrain in the middle."
