Biography

Roger Keith 'Syd' Barrett (1946-2006) was the original front man and songwriter for Pink Floyd. Widely seen as a musical genius, he was an undisputed pioneer of the sixties underground psychedelic scene, and remains a source of unrelenting fascination for music journalists and fans alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars Shambolic Grace, January 26, 2005
This review is from: Radio One Sessions (Audio CD)
Having exhausted the Madcap Laughs, Barrett & Opel, I found this to be a great addition. The version of "Terrappin" is a really nice addition, with its brighter more open feel than the album version, also it sounds more watery which helps lines like "we're the fishes". Baby Lemonade was kind of a mess, and not neccesarily in a good way, but I do like it also, I was disappointed that it didn't have the guitar intro that is on the "Barrett" album, but I'm over it. I still think it is really worthwhile. The melody, melancholy, grace come through as is so often with Barrett. I also loved his rhythym chops on Gigolo Aunt which has great energy and drive, though it flickers a little bit. This is a great addition to my Barrett collection and I excpect I will give it many listens.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sails cackling at every plate we break!, May 24, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Radio One Sessions (Audio CD)
This is a must have cd for any fan of Syd Barrett or Pink Floyd's earlier stuff. The sound quality is awesome and the setlist is incredible. It has Two of a Kind which for a long time was only found on bootleg albums. I am a Huge fan of Pink Floyd and that is how I discovered Syd Barrett. Though it was many many years ago when I first purchased a Syd solo album, I am more in love with his music now than I was way back. This album is not a let down at all. I think this will be a nice additin to your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Astonishingly Uplifting Album of Rare Barrett Masterpieces, May 31, 2004
By 
Midas Wilder "galaxy2069" (Miami, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Radio One Sessions (Audio CD)
This is truly some the finest raw radio recordings (of any psychedelic explorer from the late 60's/early 70's) that you'll ever come across. Syd Barrett floats around and captures a lovely, exuberant tone on "Gigolo Aunt" and "Baby Lemonade", and creates one of the most hauntingly beautiful versions of "Dominoes" (my personal favorite) and "Love Song" on record. The last two recordings are "off-air" versions, but that only adds to their timeless appeal and brilliance. If you're eager to appreciate the legacy that is Syd Barrett then you should take the time to study (and appreciate) the Radio One Sessions. The inclusion of the mythical Bob Harris Session from February '71 makes this a must have.
