Of cancer age 60.......... Shine On Crazy Diamond Syd Barrett (two t's) was a great influence on my musical taste growing up & still today, mind you his life was one of a recluse after leaving Pink Floyd early in their career, hard to believe someone could have such an effect on music in such a short period of time really, it's a shame he could not handle the increasing stardom or the drug use back then, his solo albums were strange to say the least. Interstellar Overdrive & Astronomy Domine are still staples in my play lists today & See Emily Play & Arnold Layne still make great listening...pure psychedelic man! Jon~ |

Blowing the dust off Opel this very minute. I have The Madcap Laughs & Barrett on vinyl from 1970...purchased about 1973 & copied on to cassette just twice over the last 33 years to listen to so at most they have been played three or four times each....in brown paper slip covers for the last 15 years so I suppose they are as close to mint as you can get....might be worth a bob or two....'and orf! Any other albums released mainly seem to be a rehash of this same material except for Peel & Radio 1. I might stick the cassettes in the van for a listen later. Jon~ |

When I was in the army serving in Germany during the seventies, John Peel presented Rock Today for BFBS, always used interstellar overdrive as intro music. Still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. RIP Syd Steve |
