Re this quote under the "Syd Barrett's visit" section:

Barrett's appearance may have influenced the final version of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"; a subtle refrain performed by Wright from "See Emily Play" is audible towards the end

Listen to the track "Shine On you Crazy Diamond, Pts. 1-6 - Live At Wembley 1974 (2011 Mix)" on Spotify (and possibly elsewhere), and you can plainly hear Rick Wright playing the verse melody from 'See Emily Play' at the end of the song. It is louder and goes on for longer than the "subtle refrain" from the released album, in fact. And this is from the the year before Barrett's studio visit.
