Little information is available about this unreleased track. It was recorded only for radio broadcast, though it may have formed the basis for The Narrow Way part 1 on the Ummagumma album. Baby Blue Shuffle is basically a Dave Gilmour showpiece, consisting solely of two or more acoustic guitar tracks dubbed atop one another. It is very quiet, mellow, and peaceful, and would make good soundtrack material (in fact it is quite similar to parts of Rain in the Country, recorded for the Zabriskie Point film soundtrack). This is Dave's first solo piece with the band, though he was never formally credited and it is possible the others had some input as well.

Alternate titles: Baby Blue Shuffle in D Minor
