Syd Barrett discography

Syd Barrett was the original frontman and song-writer for Pink Floyd.

With Pink Floyd he recorded and wrote the majority of songs for their first album –The Piper at the Gates of Dawn– and was credited for one song ("Jugband Blues") on their second album, A Saucerful of Secrets. To this day, his Pink Floyd songs are used frequently on the band's various compilations.

After he left Pink Floyd, he recorded two solo albums: The Madcap Laughs and Barrett (both 1970). Both albums were re-released as a double album, after the unexpected success of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon. On 24 February 1970, he recorded five songs (one from The Madcap Laughs, three from Barrett, and a one-off, "Two of a Kind") for the BBC Radio show Top Gear. These songs were released as a mini-album, in 1987, as Syd Barrett: The Peel Session. In 2004, the five songs from Top Gear, and three songs from a then-newly discovered tape of Bob Harris show, were released as The Radio One Sessions.
