... supposed to say 'Bollocks, everyone knows it's...' but that'll do
Bollocks knows best.

I found a DVD online of a 'mime-fest' they did just after Syd was left, for Belgium(?) TV.
They shared the 'I'll do Syd' vocal 'performances' between them..
Actually, rediscovered "Paintbox" as a thing of beauty.
Just recently, got a very cheap "By the Way" box set (actually a not-boot copy, hray!), so I'll (probably very slowly) be going through this until I lose the will to live (which will probably be around 'Meddle' or somesuch)

To me, there seemed to be three early phases:
1) The Syd "Happy" years (2 singles, first album)
2) The Dark "Syd" years (3 tracks off Saucer, singles, some unreleased tracks)
3) The "Rick writes" years (a b-side, some tracks off Saucer, some singles)
The rest I don't know.

The butchering of British albums for US release in the '60s never ceases to amaze me. Look what they did to poor "Piper" back in the day:
A pity they removed "Bike", but having "Interstellar Overdrive" at the end seems like a good idea. Easier to skip it then ;)

Kinda sad that the rest of Pink Floyd's career relied so heavily on exploiting Syd.

i don’t know what psychedelia even is. the sound of this album is like antique etched glassware, it’s so stiff and so fragile it would shatter like peanut brittle if you breathed on it funny. Bike is the best Pink Floyd song. i’m also pretty sure Syd Barrett is the best lyricist of all time. the thing about all the “crazy Syd” mythos that especially annoys me is he wrote about his schizophrenia-like condition soooo well, it’s all right there in plain sight, there’s no need for other people to tell that story for him. the Scarecrow is i guess the beginning of that. not sure if this is Syd’s best album, or PF’s but i’ve owned 3 copies and listened to it more times than any other album by anyone
