bullet::::- pink floyd — playing under multiple names, including "tea set", when the band found themselves on the same bill as another band with the same name, syd barrett came up with the alternative name the pink floyd sound, after two blues musicians, pink anderson and floyd council. for a time after this they oscillated between "the tea set" and "the pink floyd sound", with the latter name eventually winning out. the "sound" was dropped fairly quickly, but the definite article was still used regularly until 1970. the group's uk releases during the syd barrett era credited them as "the" pink floyd as did their first two u.s. singles. the albums "more" and "ummagumma" (both 1969) credit the band as pink floyd, produced by the pink floyd, while "atom heart mother" (1970) credits the band as the pink floyd, produced by pink floyd. david gilmour is known to have referred to the group as "the" pink floyd as late as 1984.
