Syd Barrett catalog to be reissued on vinyl

Posted June 28, 2014 by Floydian Slip

Rhino Records and Parlophone will reissue Syd Barrett‘s three solo albums on heavy-weight vinyl this summer.

The companies will offer “The Madcap Laughs” (1970), “Barrett” (1970) and “Opel” (1988) as 180-gram LPs, sporting the original yellow and green Harvest label.

The records will drop June 30 in the U.K., and arrive in the U.S. July 8.

Barrett released “The Madcap Laughs” and “Barrett” both in 1970, shortly after departing Pink Floyd. Floyd’s David Gilmour and Roger Waters helped produce the material, with Gilmour and Rick Wright appearing on the recordings.

“Opel” is a collection of alternate takes released long after Barrett became reclusive.
