Recorded on 12 June 1969 at EMI Studios, London

Notes: Octopus directly quotes a section from the poem Rilloby-Rill by Sir Henry Newbolt and features a variety of other influences as well.
Syd Barrett: "I carried that about in my head for about six months before I actually wrote it so maybe that's why it came out so well."
