Pink Floyd - The Bootleg "Under Construction" vs. The Wall Immersion Box Set

Under Construction

What Remains Unreleased

While I can’t figure out when Under Construction was “released,” some of the artwork informs us that most of this material ended up being traded around in 1999. Then in 2012, they re-released The Wall in an “Immersion” box set, containing 2 discs full of demos. You’d think that’s enough space to fit all of the material in this demo in, and you’d be right. However, there still remains some treasures unreleased found on this album. I went in and found what is and what is not released, or was edited up.

01 – In the Flesh?

                Released on Disc 5, track 36.

02 – The Thin Ice

                Released on Disc 5, track 37.

03 – Another Brick in the Wall

                Released on Disc 5, track 38 with more of an intro and the beginning of The Happiest Days of Our Lives at the end.

04 – The Happiest Days of Our Lives

                Released on Disc 5, track 39 with a shorter intro, which is found on track 38. Contains more outro found on the next track on the bootleg.

                Released, without the footsteps in the beginning but with a proper ending, on Disc 6, track 10.

And there you have it.
If you ever want to listen to the Under Construction album, I could possibly, maybe give it under request. No links will be on this website for that stuff, because the copyright police do not like that.
