2024 s' envole vers hier. Je pense que je vais atterrir en 2025 avec ces chansons dans la tête. Merci à tous ceux qui créent de si belles choses.

[PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

I love every single song on this album.

Legendary album. Nothing at the time came remotely close to what is on display in this album. This channel is the perfect reminder of that.

[garryiglesias]

Yeah, Syd's solo work available for everybody to enjoy. Thank you !

[jimihendrix]

So good. I'm almost at the end of the first track, and now i have couple of hundred comments from the fans to read through....
Happy Days indeed.

What a guy....

Great upload...
Happy 2025.

[AmaNotaGogo]

I don't care if the sun don't shine, and i dont care if nothing is I still admire Syd's work.

[AJH-pe]

Merry Christmas. Stumbled upon this while doing housework for the holiday.

[ricardolopes]

The great Syd! Merry Christmas, everyone!

[DeAndresTellez]

Perhaps the album that I listened to the most in my youth. It's so good that today I was thinking of listening to a couple of songs and I listened to the whole thing. Wherever you are, Syd, we will always love you. Your light was so bright that we are still here, inspired.

Syd Barrett – - Barrett – –From Wikipedia – – Barrett is the second and final studio album of new material released by former Pink Floyd frontman Syd Barrett. Recording began at Abbey Road Studios on 26 February 1970, and lasted for 15 sessions until 21 July.[ The album was produced by Pink Floyd's David Gilmour and Richard Wright, who also contributed on bass and keyboards respectively, along with previous Madcap contributor Jerry Shirley on drums.

Barrett was released in November 1970 on Harvest in the United Kingdom, but unlike his debut LP The Madcap Laughs it failed to chart; it was re-released in 1974 as part of Syd Barrett, which was the first US issues of these LPs. No singles were issued from the album. It was remastered and reissued in 1993, along with Barrett's other albums − The Madcap Laughs (1970) and Opel (1988) − independently and as part of the Crazy Diamond box set. A newly remastered version was released in 2010.

Background
The initial sales and the critical and public reaction to Barrett's first solo album, The Madcap Laughs, were deemed sufficient and enthusiastic enough by EMI to sanction a second solo album by Barrett.[4] On 24 February 1970, a month after releasing The Madcap Laughs, Barrett appeared on John Peel's Top Gear radio show, where he performed only one song from the newly released album ("Terrapin"), three that would later be recorded for Barrett ("Gigolo Aunt", "Baby Lemonade" and "Effervescing Elephant"), and a one-off ("Two of a Kind", which was written by Richard Wright).The session producers had no verbal contact with Barrett, having communication with him only via Gilmour. For the radio session, Gilmour and Humble Pie drummer Jerry Shirley accompanied Barrett on bass and bongos, respectively.The version of "Gigolo Aunt" recorded for the radio session (and later released on 1988's The Peel Session) was unfinished, as Barrett had sung the opening verse three times.[ Barrett played slide guitar on the radio version of "Baby Lemonade", with Gilmour on organ.

Two days later, he began working on his second album in Abbey Road Studios, with Gilmour as producer, and a trio of musicians: Richard Wright, Shirley and Gilmour.[The main aim for the Barrett sessions was to give Barrett the structure and focus many felt was missing during the long and unwieldy sessions for The Madcap Laughs. Thus, the sessions were more efficiently run and the album was finished in considerably less time than The Madcap Laughs (six months, compared to Madcap's one year).[ On 6 June 1970, Barrett gave his one and only official solo performance, at the Olympia in Kensington, backed once more by Gilmour and Shirley. At the end of "Octopus", the fourth number of the set, Barrett baffled the audience and his backing musicians by abruptly taking off his guitar and walking off stage.– –Track listing

I'm listening to both solo albums for the 1st time they are amazing, in their simplicity yet deeply personal. Reminds me of Lennon's 1st solo album.

[jessiebirax]

it's with my greatest pleasure that I am listening to it live

[sariathunderfalcon]

Syd and Rick are great together!! 💞 Thanks, rest in peace 😔💖🌼🌠

[dobunimaroC]

It's an album of poetic and musical genius.

[sousaazevedows]

Creator of extreme music and black metal with your mysticism, atmosphere and dark gothic songs with rural climax

[PeterByker]

"It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here" ❤

[nvm]

Barrett is definitely lighter in tone than Madcap Laughs but they definitely share that dark and whimsical lyrical style
Weird and melodic arrangements at times so off putting yet intriguing

[marcbolan]

Both Syd's solo albums are full of his quirky whimsical songs that are no different than what he was presenting earlier to the band in '67. Had some of the solo tracks been recorded and produced by Norman Smith or others at that time they might have provided more singles - anyway, that's another world.
