Pink Floyd - The Syd Barrett Years
1965-1971
(JWB Compilation)
---------------------------
This set was compiled from the best available sources and remastered with care. There was no hiss reduction or fake stereo processing done to this set. Mono recordings appear here in true mono. I was often able to reduce hiss with EQ rather than harsh processing. These tracks were remastered in a similar fashion to the official Pink Floyd remasters, so excellent quality tracks such as the legendary unreleased "Vegetable Man" and "Scream Thy Last Scream" will blend in nicely on your own Floyd mix CD or playlist. The BBC Sessions appear here with the original DJ intros and have been edited to flow straight through with each broadcast. I am not a member of the Pink Floyd bootleg community, but I am a huge Syd Barrett fan. I was given the raw material for this set by a knowledgeable Floyd collector. I have no idea if all these sources are widely circulating, but the I've been told that this set beats all the other common ones, so if you're a fan, you definitely need this set!
