The late Roger ‘Syd’ Barrett, from Cambridge, was a co-founder of the 1960’s music group Pink Floyd and performed on lead guitar and vocals. He also composed many of their songs. He was responsible for inspiring an entire generation of musicians to develop their own indigenous brand of English rock music.
Syd was quintessentially English, penning idiosyncratic songs unique in style and tone. He had a hugely attractive personality and with his good looks he was difficult to ignore. He was a quick-witted clown who kept family and friends laughing at his good-natured cheekiness throughout his younger years. Always interested in experimenting with music, he played the recorder, piano, ukulele, Jew’s harp and guitar all to a good standard.

If you like this sort of detail, watch out for Ed's book. It's going to be outstanding.
The exact date is August 4th, 1967, ...it was a Friday, and it is now common knowledge that records in the UK were released on Fridays in those days. The doubt was partly resolved by Glenn Povey in his 2016 book, after researching the EMI archives. 😉
Great article.
Pat Boone, where's the video? C'mon!
That's a confusion, not a controversy.
. . . Have you got it yet!?
Who cares?
🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

Shitty packaging and online retailers don't know how to ship it. No way discs inside will last in the long run if they are not damaged in transit.

Syd Barrett artwork Auction on Internet from Carlisle auction room on Tuesday 30th July ‘Dried Flowers’ – a large and well restored and expertly framed piece of original artwork by Sys Barrett. The earliest surviving artwork by Syd. Link to watch the auction online or bid: bit.ly/syd-dried-flowers-auction-30-July The earliest known existing work of art by Pink Floyd founding member, Roger Keith ‘Syd’ Barrett is set to go under the hammer at Thomson Roddick Callan’s auction of fine art in Carlisle on 30th July. The pastel and watercolour work was painted at home in Cambridge in 1963 while studying at Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology, where he met soon-to-be-bandmate, David Gilmour. The following year, he enrolled at Camberwell College of Arts in London to study painting and in 1965 Pink Floyd began to emerge from London’s underground music scene to become one of the most influential psychedelic rock bands of all time. Unfortunately, Syd’s time with the band was brief due to various personal issues and he officially left the band in 1968 to pursue a solo career, but not before he had made an indelible mark on music history. In later life, he continued to find peace and solace in creating works of art, although these were usually destroyed on completion, and Thomson Roddick Callan are thrilled to be able to offer one of his rarely-available works onto the open market. Competition for it is likely to be fierce and the auctioneers are expecting interest from around the world. Prospective bidders will be able to register to bid at the sale and view the catalogue from 19th July with live internet bidding available at bit.ly/syd-dried-flowers-auction-30-July All enquiries to Sybelle Thomson Thomson Roddick Callan The Auction Centre Marconi Road Carlisle CA2 7NA Tel: 01228 528939 Email: carlisle@thomsonroddick.com

Where is it streaming ?
Is this the one that was in sky arts? If so then I'm definitely getting the blu ray
Loved this. It actually gives Syd the credit he deserves and the fact that he was suffering. So all these other docs portraying him as anything else was simply cruel and just exacerbated the issue
Great movie. I ordered I’m waiting for the extras
Mine is out for delivery through Amazon US. I saw it in a theater in Santa Monica last September. Nice that the producers are able to bring this movie to a wide audience.
Yes, I have got it now:)
Streaming where? I search It on Amazon prime video but nothing 😑
Preordered on BluRay already
