According to guitarist David Gilmour: [Ezrin] said to me, “Go to a couple of clubs and listen to what’s happening with disco music,“ so I forced myself out and listened to loud, four-to-the-bar bass drums and stuff and thought, Gawd, awful! Then we went back and tried to turn one of the parts into one of those so it would be catchy. Gilmour recorded his guitar solo in one take, with no editing or mixing, using a 1955 Gibson Les Paul Gold Top guitar equipped with P-90 pick-ups. Despite his reservations about Ezrin’s additions, Gilmour felt the final song still sounded like Pink Floyd. When Ezrin heard the song with a disco beat, he was convinced it could become a hit, but felt it needed to be longer, with two verses and two choruses. The band resisted, saying they did not release singles; Waters told him: “Go ahead and waste your time doing silly stuff.“ While the band members were away, Ezrin edited the takes into an extended version, and had engineer Nick Griffiths record children singing the verse at Islington Green School, close to Pink Floyd’s studio. Alun Renshaw, head of music at the school, was enthusiastic, and said later: “I wanted to make music relevant to the kids – not just sitting around listening to Tchaikovsky. I thought the lyrics were great – ’We don’t need no education, we don’t need no thought control’ ... I just thought it would be a wonderful experience for the kids.“ Some of the edits for this remix are what i would call poor, bad decision making IMO as one of you stated The songs and solos have been snipped and edited as if the real fans wouldn’t notice. Literally no reason to do 1:01 Other than those bad edits, shortened sound and quality of video is good.
