Rare 1965 Pink Floyd Syd Barrett Demo "Lucy Leave"

Pink Floyd in their infancy...sounding quite like a garage band. Early images of the band are set to the song Lucy Leave, written in 1965 by their charismatic leader Syd Barrett. The song was recorded late in 1965 by the original line-up of the band - Syd Barrett, Bob Klose, Roger Waters, Richard Wright and Nick Mason. I hope you enjoy it!

@omentummajus ok, but after Syd Barrett left Pink Floyd did become a bit boring. Yes, they made good albums, they sold millions, were extremely popular in the seventies, but personally I think that 'Piper at the gates of dawn' remains their best album, after all, as innovative and fully representative of an era.

look, how can someone quit a band that didnt pick you up one day Pink Floyd, the only thing interesting is how someone can do one album and sue for royalties for the entire era and then win, unfortunately and i underline for anyone in this era people take the need for correctness too much of an extreme, except for frank zappa who then became normal as an ambassador of another country. all record labels are for small people. youre welcome syd ...

@CrazyBear65 I guess nobody knows what caused syd to loose it, but anyway he started to fade away and the band could no longer work with him. He walked into the studio when they were recording The Wall and nobody could figure out who he was because he had gained weight and shaved his head and eyebrows then roger recognised him and started crying.Syd was escorted out and that was the last time they saw him. Reguardless of what caused it, it's very sad, and such a waste of a mind.

I like both Rogers and Syds Pink Floyd. But Piper is definitely in their top 3.

@Stratmandoin "Insanity" is a lable placed upon genius by socioty (Syd Barrett, Roky Erickson, Aldous Huxley, Nicola Tesla...) "Sanity" is all a matter of perception. If I know that I am insane, then I am saner than anyone who percieves themselves to be perfectly sane, because everyone is insane, you see? And I know, because I'm fuckin nuts! Large doses of LSD, mescaline, psilocyben, cocaine, methamphetamine? I think maybe it was Mandrake that fucked Syd up, but that's just a guess

how can i convert this to mp3

Man I wish all the early stuff would come out from that session. It's a shame their early period wasn't covered by an LP or a few singles in 1965-66. Syd was rock and roll.
