COMMENTS: ICONIC AMERICAN BOOTLEG FROM 'TMOQ' (DUB TAYLOR AND KEN DOUGLAS) RELEASED IN SPRING 1972. RE-PRESSED MANY TIMES IN SEVERAL VARIATIONS AS DETAILED BELOW. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT WHEN THIS ALBUM WAS FIRST RELEASED, TMOQ WERE ALREADY USING THE LARGE 1 & 2 LABELS (WITHOUT PRINTED RIM), LARGE 1 & 2 LABELS (WITH PRINTED RIM) AND ALSO THE SIDEWAYS PIG 'MADE IN HOLLAND' LABEL. THE ORDER OF PRESSING OF THE FIRST THREE ARE KNOWN HOWEVER DUE TO THE VINYL COLOURS USED AT SPECIFIC TIMES BY TMOQ. KEN DOUGLAS HAS CONFIRMED TO FLOYDBOOTS THAT 'OMAYYAD' WAS MADE BY DUB TAYLOR ALONE, SHORTLY AFTER THEY SPLIT, ALTHOUGH THEY BOTH MADE THEIR OWN VERSIONS OF IT. ALL THE PRESSINGS HERE ARE IN ORDER OF DATE, NOT MATRIX NUMBER.
DUB TAYLOR TO FLOYDBOOTS: "THE PINK FLOYD TITLE 'OMAYYAD' WAS FOUND IN A DICTIONARY OR ENCYCLOPEDIA. I WAS LOOKING FOR A TITLE FOR THE ALBUM AND I CAME ACROSS OMAYYAD, AND LIKED THE SOUND OF IT AND THE WAY THE WORD LOOKED. IT SEEMED EXOTIC. THERE IS NO CONNECTION TO PINK FLOYD".
KEN DOUGLAS TO FLOYDBOOTS: "THIS WOULD'VE BEEN PRODUCED (BY DUB ALONE) JUST AFTER WE SPLIT.... IT'S VERY SIMPLE, ANY PF515 MATRIX IS DUB'S AND ANY 1830 MATRIX IS MINE".
