SYD BARRETT
The Peel Session
SFPSCD 043
(P) 1988
Made in UK
In February 1970, Syd Barrett
performed five songs for John Peel's show on the BBC, accompanied by
Jerry Shirley on drums and Dave Gilmour on guitar.
Besides reprising "Terrapin" from his first album, the session
featured three of the strongest tunes from
his second LP, "Gigolo
Aunt," "Baby Lemonade," and (a very brief) "Effervescing
Elephant."
This five-song EP also includes the bouncy, easygoing
"Two of a Kind," which doesn't appear on any other release;
it's since been claimed that this was actually a composition by Pink
Floyd organist Rick Wright.
The rest of the songs don't differ much from the officially released
versions; they're somewhat sparer
and looser.
A decent if not absolutely essential relic for the Barrett/Floyd fan,
with excellent sound. |
