Pink Floyd's first record (Arnold Layne / Candy And A Currant Bun 1967)
Roger 'Syd' Barrett derived the name "Pink Floyd" juxtaposing the first names of Pink Anderson and Floyd Council he had read about in a sleevenote by Paul Oliver for a 1962 Blind Boy Fuller LP (Philips BBL-7512)


Blind Boy Fuller: Country Blues 1935-1940 (Philips BBL-7512 / 13650 A-JL, 1962)

"Curley Weaver and Fred McMullen, (...) Pink Anderson or Floyd Council -- these were a few amongst the many blues singers that were to be heard in the rolling hills of the Piedmont, or meandering with the streams through the wooded valleys."

from Paul Oliver's sleeve notes to Philips BBL-7512 / Philips 13650 A-JL (UK/NL 1962)
reprinted as "Piccolo Rag, Blind Boy Fuller", in Blues Off The Record, pp. 95-98. Tunbridge Wells: Baton, 1984
