New Syd compilation due: 'An Introduction To Syd Barrett'.

On 4 October 2010, EMI/Harvest Records will release An Introduction To Syd Barrett, a brand new collection that brings together for the first time the tracks of Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett on one compilation. David Gilmour, having co-produced The Madcap Laughs (with Roger Waters) and produced Barrett, has taken the role of executive producer for the album, collaborating with engineers Andy Jackson and Damon Iddins, who have remixed five tracks including 'Octopus', 'She Took A Long Cool Look', 'Dominoes' and 'Here I Go'. David has added bass guitar to 'Here I Go', and the team have also remixed Pink Floyd's 'Matilda Mother'.

Brand new artwork has been provided by long time Pink Floyd associate Storm Thorgerson and his estimable studio.

Tracklisting is Arnold Layne, See Emily Play, Apples And Oranges, Matilda Mother (2010 Mix), Chapter 24, Bike (all by Pink Floyd), Terrapin, Love You, Dark Globe, Here I Go (2010 Remix), Octopus (2010 Mix), She Took A Long Cool Look (2010 Mix) (aka She Took A Long Cold Look), If It's In You (all from The Madcap Laughs), Baby Lemonade, Dominoes (2010 Mix), Gigolo Aunt, Effervescing Elephant (all from Barrett) and Bob Dylan Blues (from Wouldn't You Miss Me – The Best Of Syd Barrett). All tracks have been remastered from the original analogue masters by Andy Jackson of Tube Mastering.

An addition to An Introduction To Syd Barrett is the previously-unreleased 20-minute instrumental 'Rhamadan'. Produced by former Pink Floyd and Syd co-manager Peter Jenner, the list of musicians is lost in the mists of time, though it's rumoured to include congas by Steve Peregrine Took of Tyrannosaurus Rex. It is to be offered as an extra downloadable track with the CD (via an auxiliary Website), and also the iTunes version of the album. Once again Damon Iddins and Andy Jackson mixed it in 2010.

Looks like Syd Barrett's Opel is also being released but I can't find ay more info on it at Amazon only that its also due for release in Oct.

    Good find, mmadden28! I'm a long time Floyd fan also, and this gives me another excuse to just sit and listen to my SDA's. I have to say, I've been buying a lot more albums since I bought my first pair of SDA's... and then my second pair of SDA's.... Third pair coming soon! :D

    Me too (long time Floyd fan and buying a lot more albums). SDA's literally got me back into enjoying music. Or should I say opened a whole new world of music enjoyment that I previously never before experienced, esp with music that I previously either dismissed or didn't care for when heard on conventional systems, TV or in the car.

    Cool. Well at least the one good thing about pre-orders on Amazon, is that they guarantee you get the lowest price between when you order it and when it ships so no worries about about ordering early.

    I just checked and it was still at $16.98, then I realized (since both albums are in this thread) that you weren't talking about 'Opel', but 'An Introduction to Syd Barrett' which is now at $14.99. So that means it actually went up in price since the last drop was to $13.99. Well as I said with the Amazo pre-order, your guaranteed the lowest price the item is offered at at ANYTIME between your order date and the end of the day on the shipping date, so I'm still getting it for $13.99, but I'll bet that they'll drop it again though.
    Pre-order Price Guarantee

    Amazon.com's price for not-yet-released items sometimes changes between the time the item is listed for sale and the time it is released and shipped. Whenever you pre-order a book, CD, video, DVD, software, or video game, the price we charge when we ship it to you will be the lowest price offered by Amazon.com between the time you placed your order and the end of the day of the release date. A pre-order price guarantee message will appear on your Order Summary during the checkout process. If you use 1-Click ordering, pre-order price protection will be automatically applied. The order summary in Your Account will reflect the lowest price within 24 hours of the price change.

    I'm curious though about how honest are they really? Did anybody else preordered this before it was $13.99? If so did the price drop in your order summary and remain at $13.99?

    ...

    Same here. After buying my first pair of SDA speakers, I actually sit and listen to music again. As a result, I've bought more albums in the past few months than I have in the last several years...

    Oh, and yeah, I guess I quoted the price for the wrong album. Thanks for correcting me.

    Syd Barrett was definitely one of a kind; one of those who flew too close to the gods and got burnt.

    Amazon cruelly teased on the "Introduction to Sid Barrett": the "Click for Samples" (I'm willing to accept scraps) brought the "No Samples Available" message. Dang.

    Your "Opel" link brought some relief, though: 21 samples of Syd.

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/recsradio/radio/B003ZZAXMW/ref=pd_krex_listen_dp_img?ie=UTF8&refTagSuffix=dp_img

    The title track, "Opel" (along with "Wouldn't You Miss Me", et al) is like ..... taking a trip back in time. And that's with listening over some crappy Cambridge computer speakers.

    Thanks for the link.

    Finally found a "Samples" link.
    "Brand new official EMI media player for the new An Introduction to Syd Barrett album":

    Pretty cool player; has an electronic version of the CD booklet that you can click on to view.

    Hope you enjoy.

    Let me try that again :

    Okay, that works. It didn't like the fact the text was red.
