Shine on You Crazy Diamond | SYD BARRETT - DARK GLOBE(1970) rare | GUESS I’M DUMB


Syd Barrett - Dark Globe (1970)

"I knew the version on Madcap Laughs, and I’d heard the version on Opel, but this one (released on a bootleg in 1986) is very different from both. The Madcap Laughs track is painful and out of tune at times, whereas this one has “a ghostly and slightly out-of-sync vocal shadowing the main one. That ghostly shadow enhances the woozy mystique of the recording considerably”*
