Format:Audio CD
It's Barrett's legacy, a superb collection of great songs, from the melodic fantasies of Baby Lemonade and Love Song to the blues of Rats and Maisie.
This is a good reissue, included of bonus tracks. A precious gift from the unforgettable co-founder of Pink Floyd.

Syd Barrett's second, and last, solo album is also his solo masterpiece
4 Dec 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Pink Floyd co-founder Syd Barrett released his second and, turned out to be, final solo album of new material Barrett in November of 1970 in the UK.
The album wasn't released in the US until 1974 on the double album called Syd Barrett alongside its predecessor The Madcap Laughs).
Barrett was produced by Syd's former Pink Floyd bandmates and close friends David Gilmour (whom also played bass guitar and some additional guitar on the album and additional drums) and the late Rick Wright (whom also plays keyboards on the album) and also featuring Jerry Shirley of Humble Pie on drums.
The album was more focused than its predecessor The Madcap Laughs but more difficult to record but the results were better IMHO.
The album kicks off with the majestic "Baby Lemonade", which is possibly Barrett's finest solo track. "Love Song" is a great song too as is "Dominoes" (which David Gilmour performed at his Royal Festival Hall concerts in 2002 in London and recently on his 2006 On an Island solo tour), the funny "Rats", the epic "Gigolo Aunt" and the closing "Effervescing Elephant" which is a funny song that can bring anyone out of a bad mood.
The other tracks "It is Obvious", "Maisie", "Waving My Arms in the Air", "I Never Lied to You" and "Wolfpack" are excellent gems though some people didn't like those tracks as much as the first tracks I mentioned.
The album was unfortunately Syd's last album of new material released (a rarities album called Opel was released in 1988 and he passed away in 2006).
In 1993, as part of the UK boxed set Crazy Diamond, the album was digitally remastered and re-released with seven bonus tracks. "Baby Lemonade", "Love Song", "Waving My Arms In the Air" and "I Never Lied To You" are the same takes as on the original album but WITHOUT the overdubs and vocal re-recordings respectively. There's also two early takes of "Dominoes" and also the first take of "It Is Obvious". Now, to coincide with the release of An Introduction to Syd Barrett, EMI Europe re-release the CD which now has the original album artwork and also the booklet has updated information and the CD has the original Harvest/EMI label on the CD art.
Highly recommended!
