• Pink Floyd played Vegetable Man live for a BBC radio broadcast on December 20, 1967.
• Floyd's then-manager Peter Jenner recalled to Uncut magazine in 2016: "Syd wrote it [Vegetable Man] in my flat. He was there prior to going to the studio. It was like, 'Hey, we've got a session booked, so we've got to have a song,' so he wrote that. It was a description of himself. Maybe you could see it as a call for help."

• When Pink Floyd played Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun live in 1969–71, Roger often used a gong that had been heated with stage lights so it would bloom louder when struck.
• Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun is the only Pink Floyd track that has both Syd Barrett and David Gilmour playing on it.

• Each bass part in One of These Days is hard panned into one channel of stereo, but one bass sound is quite muted and dull. According to Gilmour, this is because that particular instrument had old strings on it, and the roadie they had sent to get new strings for it wandered off to see his girlfriend instead.
• The swirling wind‑like intro of One of These Days was created by running a recording of a low‑frequency drone through an EMS VCS3’s filter and modulation circuits while manually sweeping the controls. The effect came from live, hands‑on tweaking during the mix, which is why early performances never sounded exactly the same.

• Mason described this in his memoir: "'Remember A Day' had a different drum feel to our usual pounding style, and I eventually relinquished the playing to Norman. I really didn't like giving up my drum stool—and never have—but in this particular instance I would have struggled to provide a similar feel. Re-listening to this it feels more like a Norman Smith track than anyone else's. Apart from the rather un-Floyd-like arrangement, Norman's voice is also prominent within the backing vocals."
• The Gold It's In the... appears in the film "La Vallée" during a scene where Viviane follows Olivier into his tent on the first night they spend together.

• The starting sound effects loop in Money was built from Roger Waters’ home recordings of coins, paper, a cash register, and other noises, spliced into a seven‑beat tape loop. The band later re‑recorded it onto multi‑track tape for the album and adapted it for the quadraphonic mix.
• Harper's involvement with the recording of Have a Cigar arose from the dissatisfaction that Waters and Gilmour felt with their own attempts to sing the lead vocal line. After trying it both separately and as a duet, with Harper still technically on the track singing vocals on the bridge (available on the 2011 Experience and Immersion editions of Wish You Were Here), they turned to Harper to sing lead, who was recording his album "HQ" at Abbey Road at the same time as Floyd. Harper agreed to sing the part as a way of repaying a favor to Gilmour, who had earlier provided him with some guitar licks.
