- Creator Backlash: Hipgnosis is not fond of the album cover featuring an underwater ear, with Storm Thorgerson calling it his least favorite work for Pink Floyd ("Many say Atom Heart Mother is a better cover than album. I think Meddle is a much better album than its cover") and Aubrey Powell feeling "I don't think we did them justice with that at all; it's half-hearted."
- Referenced by...:
- The Beastie Boys sampled "One of These Days" during the song "Johnny Ryall" from their album Paul's Boutique.
- Depeche Mode's "Clean" from 1990's Violator quotes the bassline to "One of These Days".
- David Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes", from 1980's Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps), has a treated piano sound similar to the one on "Echoes".
- The Sopranos episode "The Fleshy Part of the Thigh"'s end credits has "One of These Days" playing over it.
- Magical Chase interpolates the descending chords from "Echoes" at the start of the track "Waltz of Meditation, Part 1".
- Ween's "Birthday Boy" is bookended by samples of "Echoes", though this is also Throw It In!: The band had resorted to taping over old cassettes they owned for budgetary reasons, so snippets of "Echoes" ended up on the same tape as the song.
- In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable, Koichi Hirose's stand is named after "Echoes".
- In EarthBound, the background music for Summers is a riff on "San Tropez".
- Throw It In!: "Seamus" came out of David Gilmour taking care of Steve Marriott's (of The Small Faces fame) dog of the same name while Marriott was on tour with Humble Pie. The dog had learned to howl to blues music. Gilmour happened to bring the dog to the studio one day, and the dog did so when the band started to jam. The song was hastily written and recorded.
- What Could Have Been:
- In his 2005 memoir Inside Out — A Personal History of Pink Floyd, Nick Mason claimed that Storm Thorgerson wanted to use a photograph of a baboon's anus as the album cover. The band, however, vetoed the idea, instead suggesting "an ear underwater."
- 5.1 and stereo remixes of the album were originally prepared for the Boxed Set The Early Years 1965-1972, only to be pulled after Roger Waters vetoed its inclusion at the last minute
. Because of how late this happened, the mixes are still hidden in the data for the Reverber/ation Blu-ray, later being excised completely when the box's components were individually reissued.
