Syd Barrett - Barrett | Rare Vinyl Pressings & Pink Floyd Stories

Syd Barrett’s second solo album, Barrett, is one of the strangest, most fragile, and most fascinating records connected to the Pink Floyd story. In this video I dig into Barrett, the 1970 solo album produced by David Gilmour and Richard Wright, with Jerry Shirley of Humble Pie on drums. I talk about the recording sessions, the story behind Baby Lemonade, the Peel Sessions, Syd’s artwork, and why this album has always stuck with me. I also show several Barrett pressings from my collection, including UK Harvest copies, Japanese pressings, a Japanese white label promo on red vinyl, the Crazy Diamond box set, the Simply Vinyl pressing, and the Third Man Records Solo Works of Syd Barrett set. If you’re into Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd, rare vinyl, psychedelic rock, or strange records that don’t sound like anything else, this one is for you. Let me know your favorite Syd Barrett solo track in the comments.
