Catalog Number: SABB-11314
CONDITION DETAILS DOUBLE ALBUM. Vinyl plays nicely (play-graded); both records have some crackles and occasional brief clicks due to some light surface-scratches. Gate-fold cover looks good; scuffing/discolorations on front, back and, to a lesser degree on inner gate. Inner sleeves are generic. Spine is easy-to-read w/ wear, especially toward bottom. Shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge w/ partial splits near opening edge. Opening shows signs of wear. (Not a cut-out.)
ABOUT THE RECORD Barrett is a 1974 double-album pairing of Syd Barrett's two solo albums, The Madcap Laughs and Barrett, both originally released in the UK in 1970. During the summer of 1965, Barrett had his first acid trip in the garden of his friend Dave Gale, with Ian Moore and Storm Thorgerson. While on the influence of the acid, Barrett had placed an orange, plum and a matchbox into a corner, while staring at the fruit, which he claimed symbolized "Venus and Jupiter". Thorgerson used this imagery when he added these items to the cover of Barrett. After the unexpectedly massive success of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, EMI re-issued the Barrett-era albums The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and A Saucerful of Secrets as A Nice Pair in the hope that fans would be interested in the band's earlier work with Barrett. Once that was a success, primarily in the US where both albums had initially flopped, Barrett was compiled to meet demand. As a result, The Madcap Laughs/Barrett (as it was titled in the US) made number 163, giving Barrett his only US chart album.
