"Unknown Song" is sometimes called "Rain in the Country" or "Country Rain" on bootleg recordings. [2] A similar piece entitled "Baby Blue Shuffle in D Major" appeared in a 2 December 1968 BBC radio broadcast and shared melodies with part one of "The Narrow Way" from Ummagumma, but it may have been rather a different – or even the same – take of "Unknown Song".
