Syd Barrett, Barrett (side A)

It's hard to add much about Syd Barrett's second solo album, Barrett, from 1970. It's obviously a bit more lucid than his first, thanks to help from David Gilmour and Richard Wright. Peter Bown's engineering at EMI/Abbey Road probably doesn't get enough notice, and my English pressing sounds particularly great. The textured paper cover is nice too. Apparently drummer Jerry Shirley was in Humble Pie at the time.
