«The Early Years 1965-1972» é apresentada por «Grantchester Meadows». O vídeo junta imagens de Roger Waters e David Gilmour a tocar a canção na rádio KQED de São Francisco, à gravação que a banda fez na BBC no ano anterior.

A caixa está dividida por sete volumes. Cada um corresponde a um ano e após a edição em conjunto serão postos à venda individualmente em 2017.

Grantchester Meadows is a Roger Waters song, originally performed solo on the ‘Ummagumma’ album, that celebrates the English countryside, as in other compositions such as ‘Time’. This special group performance, taped for the BBC, with acoustic guitars and vocals from Roger Waters and David Gilmour, plus additional piano from Richard Wright and taped songbirds, successfully evokes a summer’s day in Grantchester, a small village close to Cambridge, England. Grantchester’s famous former residents include the Edwardian poet Rupert Brooke, who moved there and subsequently wrote a poem of homesickness entitled ‘The Old Vicarage, Grantchester’. Taken from ‘The Early Years 1965 – 1972’.

Creative Director: Aubrey Powell, Hipgnosis. 2016 footage directed and edited by Nick Edwards. Performance footage director: John Coney for KQED, San Francisco 1970.

Audio recorded for BBC Radio, 12 May 1969.
