About this hidden track
(Title Unknown) is a hidden song by Pink Floyd from their album The Division Bell.
Contains the following phone conversation:
O’Rourke: Hello?
Charlie (young boy): Yeah…
O’Rourke: Is that Charlie?
C: Yes.
O’Rourke: Hello Charlie.
C: (mumbles something and hangs up)
O’Rourke: Great! (hangs up)
Steve O’Rourke is the late band’s manager, who reportedly always wished to appear on the band’s records – the band thus fulfilled his wish. Charlie is son of David Gilmour’s wife Polly Samson. Polly Samson, listed in the “Thanks” section and co-writer of many songs, was Gilmour’s wife (they seperated around summer 1994). The vinyl edition of The Division Bell is several minutes shorter than the other versions. It lacks the above conversation, and the song ends are trimmed down a bit.
