SYD BARRETT

MUSIC

[edit]

Syd Barrett wrote Pink Floyd's first three singles, almost all the songs for their first album and the ending song for their second album. After that he released under serious difficulties only part of his repertoire in a couple of solo albums which failed to chart, though their artistic value is still under discussion.

PART 2 - SOLO ARTIST
PART 3 - BELATED RELEASES

Pink Floyd's first two singles "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play" propelled the band into the mainstream, while they were beginnig to attract the attention of the music industry.


Their debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn was released the same year with positive reception, and is now recognised as one of the best British psychedelic albums of all time.


The single "Apples and Oranges" was released towards the end of that year after a disastrous US tour: an increasingly alienated Syd Barrett would be only a guest on A Saucerful of Secrets.
