An Introduction to Syd Barrett

An Introduction to Syd Barrett is a 'best of' compilation featuring the work of Syd Barrett spanning the period 1967–1970, including both material written during his time with Pink Floyd and his post-band solo career. The album was released in the UK and Europe on October 4, 2010, with different release dates for the rest of the world. The album features a series of new remasters and remixes, all overseen by Pink Floyd's David Gilmour. The cover art, featuring various images relating to songs contained within the album, was designed and created by long-term Pink Floyd conceptual artist Storm Thorgerson.

An extra track for CD and iTunes buyers is the previously-unreleased 20-minute long instrumental Rhamadan.
