Rare Syd Barrett recording up for auction

Posted June 1, 2010 by Floydian Slip

One of the last-known live recordings of Pink Floyd co-founder Syd Barrett is going on the auction block later this month. The sale could lead to a commercial release of the material.

The reel of ½-inch tape contains a concert performed Jan. 27, 1972, at the Corn Exchange in Cambridge, England. The show included Barrett sitting-in for three numbers with the Last Minute Put Together Boogie Band: “Number Nine,” “Gotta Be a Reason,” “Let’s Roll,” and “Sweet Little Angel.”

The recording, which might be the master recording, also includes performances by Hawkwind and Pink Fairies.

The show was recorded by Spaceward Studios founder Gary Lucas, who’s provided a statement of provenance for the item. Lucas says, “The recording of the concert was organized at the last minute and the equipment was poor as all that was available was a rather poor mixer. So we just stuck a stereo mic pair across the stage for drums/backline and mixed in some PA mix for front.

“The whole affair was a shambles with a fight breaking out around the stage at one point destroying at least one of the mics.”

Nonetheless, auction house Bonhams describes the audio quality of the tape as “reasonable” and says “preliminary inquiries as to the possibility of the recording being released have been made.”

The auction will be held June 23. The recording is expected to fetch upwards of $5,000.

Pre-register for the auction at the Bonhams site.

      Waters “not unhappy” at Floyd’s end

      Posted May 27, 2010 by Floydian Slip

      The BBC spoke to Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters in a piece published online today. Waters talks about the band’s last performance at the Live 8 event in 2005, and says he believes it will be the band’s last appearance.

      “It was an extraordinarily moving experience for me,” he says. “Live 8 was so beautiful, and Rick (Wright) obviously was still with us then. … If that’s the way we draw a line under Pink Floyd, so be it. I won’t be unhappy about that.”

      Wright died in 2008, leaving Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason as the surviving members.

      Nick Mason’s garage burglarized

      Posted May 21, 2010 by Floydian Slip

      Nick Mason‘s garage was broken into recently.

      The U.K.’s Daily Mirror newspaper reports the Pink Floyd drummer arrived at his Hampstead, North London, home to find the garage unlocked and several crash helmets missing, including a pink one.

      “It’s quite distinctive so the number of people who had a helmet that color would be limited,” he said. “It would be nice to get them back.”

      Mason is nearly as famous for his love of motor sports as he is for being a member of Floyd.

      Oddly, the thief or thieves left his Harley Davidson motorcycle untouched.
