"Embryo" was originally recorded for the album "Ummagumma" but was dropped in favor of the individually written tracks concept. 
The unfinished track was chosen as Pink Floyd's entry on the Harvest (the Floyd's UK publisher) label's sampler album "Picnic". 
The album cover features a typical Hipgnosis design that actually foreshadowed some of the images from "The Wall", with a family sitting on a sparse beach, wearing gas masks. 
The Floyd themselves were dismayed by the songs appearance, and have prevented the album being reissued. David Gilmour recalls that "For some reason we never actually finished the recording of it... EMI got Norman Smith, I think, to mix it, and they released it without our okay." 

Nonetheless, the Floyd played the track on John Peel's show in 

January of 1969, and on tours throughout 1970 and 1971. 
The song was also performed with free-form sections against a background of pretaped sound effects (most notably that of children playing), extending the 3 minute song up to as long as 30 minutes. 
The track was also issued in the US on the "Works" compilation album. 
These two tracks are from the "Top Gear" recording session of January 1969.

The Narrow Way - Part 1 *

(Gilmour) 

Three * tracks taken from the BBC "Top Gear" broadcast of July 25th, 1969. 
The first, "Green Is The Colour", was originally titled "The Beginning", the opening sequence of the concept suite "The Journey". 
The song appeared on the soundtrack album "More", which was also released in July of 1969 and stayed in the Floyd repertoire through 1971. 

"Careful With That Axe, Eugene" was originally titled "Keep Smiling People",then "Murderistic Women" before being included in "The Journey" entitled "Beset By The Creatures Of The Deep". "Axe" also turned up as part of the "Committee" soundtrack, and on "Zabriskie Point" as "Come In Number 51, Your Time Is Up". The song appeared as a B-side to "Point Me At The Sky" on the compilation album "Relics", and a live version was released on the double album "Ummagumma" in 1970. 
It was filmed live on a number of occasions, once for "Live At Pompeii" and again in 1973 as a promo film available on the "Superstars In Concert" video. 

"The Narrow Way", originally titled "Baby Blue Shuffle In D Minor", was David Gilmour's solo composition for the album "Ummagumma". 
Gilmour confessed to a certain amount of desperation in trying to compose a track by himself.

The Violence Sequence 

(Wright) 

This track, originally composed for the film "Zabriskie Point" would later become "Us And Them" on "Dark Side Of The Moon" two years later. 
Of the film sequence itself, Nick Mason recalls that "there was a lot of news film, of cops and students fighting it out, all with no soundtrack apart from this very lyrical piano thing which Rick played as a solo." 
This version comes from the Theatre Champs D'Elyses show, January 23rd, 1970.

If 

(Waters) 

Recorded for the album "Atom Heart Mother", released in 1970, "If" clearly indicates the future direction of Waters' songwriting. 
With a pleasantly disarming acoustic guitar line, Waters delivers some stark and disturbing lyrics about being insane. 
The track was essentially a filler on the album, and was not widely performed, although Roger Waters did revive it for his solo tours of 1984 and 1987. 
This recording is taken from the Paris Theatre, London, September 16th, 1970.

Atom Heart Mother ^~

(Gilmour/Mason/Waters/Wright) 

 ^~  Recorded at Pepperland, San Rafael on October 17th, 1970, "Cymbaline" appeared on the soundtrack to "More" and was performed throughout the 70/71 era.
It has been suggested that the song, about dreams and dreaming, was a reference to Shakespeare's "Cymbaline", but given the Floyd's failure to read Proust's "Remembrance of Things Past" for the aborted 1972 Roland Petit Ballet project, this seems unlikely. 

"Atom Heart Mother" was a landmark for the Floyd as it devoted the entire side of an album to one piece, paving the way for "Echoes" and ultimately "Dark Side of the Moon". 
The track also brought together many of the sound effects that Waters had been interested in, along with an orchestra. 
The Floyd briefly toured with "Atom Heart Mother" accompanied by a live orchestra but had to rework the composition when played as a quartet. 
This version, performed without the orchestra, was also played during a 1970 TV broadcast from KQED studios in San Francisco.
