A HOWARD BE THY NAME PRODUCTION HOWARD STOREY
The Madcap Laughs is Syd Barrett's first solo album after being replaced in Pink Floyd by his old school friend David Gilmour. The title of the album comes from a line in the song Octopus. After leaving the group, Barrett began recording sessions with former Pink Floyd-turned-Syd Barrett manager Peter Jenner in May 1968. Although the sessions were brief, and they produced some fine material, the project was abandoned for almost a year while Barrett spent much of the year as a recluse.

He wasnt a waste at all....He just stopped making music because he didn't want to anymore. He painted and did other things.

Syd wrote much like the Beatles. Like Lennon said about music. It doesn't always have to make sense.....It just needs to sound good. Music is art people. Art is not always understood. It's saddens me....the whole Syd story.
