Maximum Syd Barrett
Maximum Syd Barrett is a brand new audio documentary on this most pioneering of artists, telling the whole story of his life from forming one of the most influential bands of all time (Pink Floyd), to cult solo status and on through retirement and his sad demise. His death was a tragic loss to the music world. After forming Pink Floyd in the 60s, the troubled songwriter left the group, to make precious few solo albums in the next decade, before retiring completely. His legacy continued for as long as he did however - as if he never really went away - and it looks set to continue well into the future. This CD is a fitting tribute to the man and a must for any Floyd or Barrett fan's collection. The full color picture disc comes in a jewelcase housed in a deluxe slipcase and features an eight page illustrated booklet. Chrome Dreams. 2006.
