The band recorded "Vegetable Man" at De Lane Lea Studios on 9–11 October, and returned on 19 October to record "Jugband Blues", with Smith booking a Salvation Army band. During these sessions, bandleader Syd Barrett overdubbed a slide-guitar part onto "Remember a Day", an outtake from "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn". The band took a break to record "Apples and Oranges" on 26 and 27 October. A few days later, they recorded the B-side, "Paint Box", before leaving for a US tour. In November, "Apples and Oranges" was released as a single but failed to chart.
