"Careful with That Axe, Eugene" is an instrumental piece by the English rock band Pink Floyd.[4] It was recorded in November 1968 and released as the B-side to the single "Point Me at the Sky", and featured on the 1971 compilation album Relics. It was re-recorded for the 1970 film Zabriskie Point, retitled as "Come In Number 51, Your Time Is Up".
The song became a concert favourite for Pink Floyd. Live recordings can be found on various releases, such as the live half of the double album Ummagumma and the film Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii. It was performed sporadically after 1973, with a final one-off performance in 1977. Various versions, both live and studio recordings, were released as part of the 2016 box set The Early Years 1965–1972.
