Syd Barrett - 1969 - Vinyl Sessions [EP] (full album)
- 10 years ago
Recorded in 1969, EMI released this US bootleg EP with unissued Barrett material.
The EP boasted an alternate version of "Dark Globe", which is much slower (and, therefore, longer!) than the issued take, plus "Birdy Hop", "Milky Way" and "The Word Song". The latter trio are probably outtakes from the "Barrett" album, or possibly even later; and all three have more recently appeared on another unofficial release, "El Syd", a boxed set of two 7" singles issued in a plain white sleeve in a numbered edition of 200. "Birdy Hop" appears here in its entirety, while a fourth cut replaces "Dark Globe". This is the haunting "Opel", recorded on Syd's second day's work with Malcolm Jones in April 1969, and it remains one of Barrett's unissued masterpieces.
* Syd Barrett:acoustic guitar, electric guitar
* David Gilmour:bajo, Persucion, electric guitar, producer
* Richard Wright: produce
