Taken from Pink Floyd's 1987 album 'A momentary lapse of reason', 'One slip' was originally released as the B-side of the album's first single 'Learning to fly', but then re-released as its third single, after 'On the turning away'. The song was undoubtedly the least accessible of the three, but it still peaked at number 50 in the UK singles chart in the summer of 1988.
The song was co-written by David Gilmour and Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera. This copy was taken from the library of London Weekend Television music services, and sold at the record fair in Utrecht this weekend. Hence the sticker on the sleeve...
My collection: 7" single no. 5296
Found: Record fair, Utrecht, April 14, 2012
Cost: 3 euro
Tracks: 'One slip' / 'Terminal frost'

Run like hell - Pink Floyd

The single was a commercial disappointment after the huge success of its predecessor 'Another brick in the wall'. Still, copies of the single are wanted by collectors and change hands for anything upwards of 10 euro. I'm lucky to find a cheaper, if somewhat damaged, copy.

On the turning away - Pink Floyd
![](http://web.archive.org./web/20200623145935im_/http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HvCNHaaadrI/ScIVloOaX8I/AAAAAAAAB_Q/sWaabxj0lPM/s200/pinkfloyd4.jpg)
I didn't hear this single when it was released, but picked it up from my brother's collection soon after. When I played the single, I realised it was a beautiful power ballad I really wanted to have myself. By then, the disc had disappeared from the shops, and I had to wait for a couple of years to finally find my own copy.

Another brick in the wall part 2 - Pink Floyd
![](http://web.archive.org./web/20200623145935im_/http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HvCNHaaadrI/SbgVFxkE3sI/AAAAAAAAB4E/JNY1kl6hmwA/s200/pinkfloyd3.jpg)
For this track, Pink Floyd needed a school choir. Producer Bob Ezrin asked sound engineer Nick Griffiths to find one. Griffiths approached music teacher Alun Renshaw of Islington Green School, around the corner from their Britannia Row Studios.
When I went to English class for the first time, when I was nine years old, the teacher asked if we knew any words in English. 'Another brick in the wall' was the first phrase I came up with. The teacher assumed I didn't know what those words meant - but I did. 'We don't need no education', indeed.
