On Wednesday Jan. 6, Gonzo Multimedia released “Love You: A Tribute to Syd Barrett,” a 2-CD collection of re-makes of songs originally recorded by Pink Floyd co-founder Syd Barrett.
The disc comes on the 50th anniversary of Barrett’s two post-Floyd solo albums — “The Madcap Laughs” and “Barrett” — and on what would have been his 75th birthday. (Barrett died July 7, 2006.)
The collection includes a cover of “Two of a Kind” by Dave Harris and Zeus B Held. Harris, formerly of Fashion, teamed with Floyd’s Rick Wright in 1984 to released the LP “Identity” under the name Zee.
Artwork for “Love You: A Tribute to Syd Barrett” is by Barrett’s nephew Ian Barrett; and Matteo Regattin, author of graphic novel “Syd Barrett Jugband Blues: A Graphic Trip on the Tracks of Syd Barrett.”
The collection is available to buy online from Gonzo Multimedia.
