Presenting the full details of the rock legend's intimate recording sessionsfrom his first semi-professional recordings with Pink Floyd in 1965 up to his last abandoned solo recordings at Abbey Road in 1974, this comprehensive account provides rare insight into Syd Barrett's unique musical legacy. Featuring exclusive interviews with many of the recording producers and engineers involved in the creative process, including Peter Jenner, Andrew King, Alan Parsons, and John Leckie, this essential collection is presented in a diary format, and gathers many rare photographs and illustrations that have previously been unpublished.
