Ummagumma is a double album by English progressive rock band Pink Floyd, released in 1969 by Harvest and EMI in the UK and Harvest and Capitol in the US. Disc A is a live album of their normal set list of the time, while disc B contains compositions by each member of the band recorded as their fourth studio album.
The album's title supposedly comes from Cambridgeslang for sex, commonly used by Pink Floyd friend and occasional roadie, Ian "Emo" Moore, who would say "I'm going back to the house for some ummagumma". However, some band members have since stated that the word was "totally made up and means nothing at all".[dead link]
