Although it was denied by the BBC, the single invaded Top 20 of the UK albums. It was a story of a transvestite stealing women’s clothing. The band established their big ambitions with their very first single Arnold Layne. Influenced by Barrett’s ideas, Pink Floyd moved to the psychedelic sound with complex and long compositions.
They started as an R&B outfit doing covers of The Rolling Stones. The name of the band was proposed by Syd as a tribute to the American bluesmen Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. They were joined by Syd Barrett who came from Cambridge. The lineup comprised the London Polytechnic students Nick Mason, Roger Waters and Richard Wright. The story of Pink Floyd began in London in 1965.
