50 years ago today ... Syd Barrett.

Jan '70, two years after getting sacked from Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett releases The Madcap Laughs.

A track called Octopus with David Gilmour: bass, drums & co-producer.

A sad, sad loss to the rock scene when Sid blew his brains out with an acid OD.

Re: 50 years ago today ... Syd Barrett.

The music that celebrated Syds turmoil was exemplary, hope he benefitted from the royalties.
