THE BEST OF SYD BARRETT: WOULDN'T YOU MISS ME?
Syd Barrett
(EMI)
What we have here is a record-length cautionary tale of the perils of taking too much LSD - most of the barking-mad Pink Floyd founder's solo recordings, plus one previously unreleased track, the funny and cutting Bob Dylan Blues. (Happy birthday, Bob.) All more than 30 years old, it's a fascinating collection if not always pretty - or in tune or in time or even on the same planet as the rest of us.
