SYD BARRETT was the original lead guitarist and a founder

member of the group Pink Floyd, and remains one of rock music's most endor-ing characters. He was the principal songwriter for the first Pink Floyd album The Piper Al The Gates Of Dawn, and composed their 1997 hit single See Emily Play before leaving the group in early 1968. He subsequently released two eccentric solo albums (The Mancap Laughs in 1969 and Barrett in 1910) before withdrawing completely from the music business in the mid-1970's

Much has been written about his life, but here for the first time are the full details of his recording sessions from his first semi-professional recordings with Pink Floyd in 1965 up to his last abandoned solo sessions at Abbey Road in 1974.

The author David Parker was co-editor of the respected Syd Barrett fanzine Chapter 24, and has spent four years researching and writing the book, which is based principally on information obtaine
