Recording

Written and sung by Richard Wright, "Summer '68" was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in July 1970. Its lyrics describe Wright's meeting with a groupie in 1968.

On 4 December 1968, an incomplete version of this song, titled "One Night Stand", was started at Abbey Road Studios. The band kept working on it until 16 December, and it was eventually scrapped by the band on 16 January 1969 after a session at Abbey Road.[6]

Reception

In a retrospective review for the Atom Heart Mother album, Irving Tan of Sputnik Music gave "Summer '68" a positive review, describing it as "the catchiest and most-accessible track on the album."[7] Tan really enjoyed Wright's vocals, the "bombastic trumpet solo breaks", and believed the track had "a groovy chorus".[7]

In another retrospective review for the Atom Heart Mother album, IGN described "Summer '68" as "a catchy, fast and happy pop tune written and sung by Richard Wright" that's "one of the few songs Wright has ever done for Pink Floyd and it's actually pretty fine."[8]

«Summer '68» es una canción de Pink Floyd del álbum Atom Heart Mother. Escrita y cantada por Richard Wright, es acerca de pasar una sola noche con una mujer y la vuelta a la vida habitual de una gira luego de ella.[1] La introducción con un piano tranquilo contrasta con el solo explosivo de trompeta en la mitad y en el final de la canción, el segundo se rompe haciendo eco del tema Father's Shout del Atom Heart Mother (suite). A diferencia de Sysyphus de Ummagumma, que fue inspirada por la música clásica, Summer '68 muestra a Wright volviendo a la escritura lírica (más que a la instrumental).
