According to Gilmour, this is because that particular instrument had old strings on it, and the roadie they had sent to get new strings for it preferred to wander off and see his girlfriend instead[1].

The track opens with a "wind sound" emulated by means of a delayed wind drum slowed down to half speed. The ending solo on the left speaker is David Gilmour playing a regular guitar solo dueling with himself, via multi-tracking, playing slide on right speaker. At approximately 3:03 minutes into the song, a similar sound is heard to the theme tune of the popular science fiction television series Doctor Who. Doctor Who is a British science fiction television programme produced by the BBC.

The threat, a rare vocal contribution by Nick Mason, was recorded through a ring modulator and slowed down to create an eerie effect.

[2] The bootleg compilation A Treeful of Secrets contains a demo version of "One of These Days" in which the Jimmy Young collage loops in the background during the song. A bootleg recording is an audio and/or Video recording of a performance that was not officially released by the artist or under other legal authority However, the authenticity of this demo has not been confirmed.

According to John Peel, Waters has described "One of These Days" as a "poignant appraisal of the contemporary social situation". John Robert Parker Ravenscroft, OBE (30 August 1939 – 25 October 2004 known professionally as John Peel, was an English Disc jockey, radio [4] Gilmour has stated that he considers the song the most collaborative piece ever produced by the group.

When the song was played on the BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test, a piece of film was produced by the programme makers, featuring rotoscoped pierrots and gibbons dancing against various backgrounds. The Old Grey Whistle Test (usually abbreviated to Whistle Test or OGWT) was an influential BBC2 television music show that ran from 1971
