In 1968, Pink Floyd travelled to Belgium where they filmed a TV special entitled "Pink Floid" (this misspelling is on the title credits) which featured lip-synched promotional films for "See Emily Play", as well as for "Astronomy Domine", "The Scarecrow", "Apples and Oranges", "Paint Box", "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun", and "Corporal Clegg". This was Gilmour's first TV work with the band. Barrett was still technically a member of the band but it had recently been decided to no longer include him in gigs and shows. Gilmour, Roger Waters and Rick Wright thus had to mime to Barrett's vocals. This video was used for the "end credits", which start towards the end of the song. The video contains still shots and clips from the previously seen videos, during their filming session. Along with other pictures of the group. Syd Barrett – electric guitars, double-tracked lead vocals, laughing, tape effects Richard Wright – harmonium, violin (in the 2nd half), celesta, piano, tack piano, piano strings, double-tracked backing vocals (final verse), laughing, tape effects Roger Waters – bass, laughing, tape effects Nick Mason – drums, timpani, chimes, percussion, laughing, tape effects
