I've been re-listening to the Floyd in a big way recently, especially the early stuff with Syd Barrett. As such, I've got a fair amount of stuff to post over the coming weeks, including BBC stuff & loads of out-takes as well as live gigs. Those of you already acquainted with the Barrett era Floyd will be well into some of the stuff to come... if you're not, then give it a go... I've alos got loads of Barrett solo, including, again, BBC & live stuff. Often shambolic, though his genius frequently shines through. Top songwriter and a great guitarist also...
For the late genius Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett, 1946 - 2006
really interested in early floyd inc Syd Barrett,not so much later,really sad story when year's after leaving the Floyd Syd turned up at studios and no one recognised him coz he was bald and overweight coz of his illness,R.I.P syd Barrett. thanx for the post mate

ReplyDeletePlease re-post some of the dead linked posts from the past if you wish to.
I'll see what I can do with the dead links anon... seem to be the Megaupload & Sharebee ones. For once Rapidshite is doing well.
ReplyDeleteMartin - I'm just reading a decent Barrett biography (when I get the time...) Excellent & very well researched. Tragic story really...
All my time is being taken up with the 20 cd's of audiobook that is life Keith Richards autobiography,spellbinding stuff en all! but Syd's sounds interesting mate, might search it out
