The Best of Syd Barrett: Wouldn't You Miss Me? is a single disc compilation album, released in 2001. Comprising highlights from Syd Barrett's two 1970 albums The Madcap Laughs and Barrett, and the 1988 out-takes collection Opel, the album was issued to service casual Barrett fans who presumably would only require one disc of his music.
As a bonus to dedicated Barrett followers, The Best of Syd Barrett: Wouldn't You Miss Me? includes "Two Of A Kind", from Barrett's John Peel radio show performance in February 1970, and, courtesy of David Gilmour's personal collection, Barrett's previously-unreleased "Bob Dylan Blues", an original recorded a few days after "Two of a Kind", that before this release was a very rare and sought-after song.
Because of its convenient nature, The Best of Syd Barrett: Wouldn't You Miss Me? makes a useful entry point for Barrett newcomers.
