Third Man Records will release Pink Floyd co-founder Syd Barrett‘s three solo albums on colored vinyl as “The Solo Works of Syd Barrett” this summer.
The offering, part of the company’s “Vault” subscription plan, will consist of Barrett’s “The Madcap Laughs” and “Barrett” from 1970; and his “Opel” collection of alternate takes from 1988.
The albums, each pressed in 180-gram colored vinyl at the company’s Detroit plant, will come in a slipcase illustrated by Greg Ruth. The package will include a 7-inch single containing David Gilmour‘s covers of Barrett’s “Dark Globe” and “Dominoes.”
The LPs have been out of print for nearly 10 years, and have never been offered for sale together.
Gilmour’s “Dominoes” was recorded at the Royal Festival Hall in January 2002, and appears on the DVD “David Gilmour in Concert.” His “Dark Globe” cover was recorded live July 27, 2006, at Klam Castle, Austria, and appears on his “Arnold Layne” EP.
Deadline to join Third Man Records’s Vault subscription plan to receive the Barrett package is July 31 midnight CT. Each quarter, Vault members receive a package of limited edition, exclusive vinyl. Additional content in each package varies, but might include pins, posters, patches and photo books.
Quarterly subscriptions are $75; annual subscriptions are $280.

A multi-instrumentalist since he was 10, he can be seen and heard performing with his bands StumpTown and Big Guitars.
This past week, Gosnell had his winning entry played on “Floydian Slip” episode #1420 — a special episode of our weekly Floyd radio show that was devoted entirely to other artists’ recordings of Floyd music.
He also receives $200 in merchandise from the official webstore of Pink Floyd, shop.pinkfloyd.com.
Thanks to everyone who submitted entries to this year’s contest.
