Album Notes Pink Floyd: Syd Barrett (vocals, guitar); Roger Waters (vocals, bass); Rick Wright (piano, organ); Nick Mason (drums).Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London, England.Pink Floyd's debut was its only recording based on the vision of founding singer/guitarist Syd Barrett, an art student whose world revolved around music, mysticism, and liberal doses of hallucinogens. The band's moniker was taken from the first names of Georgia bluesmen Pink Anderson and Floyd Council (an album of theirs was a favorite of Barrett's), and the album's title came from a chapter of Kenneth Grahame's children's classic, THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS (also a staple of Barrett's library).Recorded at Abbey Road at the same time The Beatles were cutting SGT. PEPPER, PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN is an avant-garde pastiche of trippy improvisation and snappy pop snippets--a blurring of musical borders that went far beyond what the Fab Four were doing a couple of rooms away. (Producer Norman Smith had been The Beatles' chief engineer for much of the early '60s.) Instrumental space-jams like "Pow R. Toc H." and "Interstellar Overdrive" smashed the conventionality of the pop mainstream by opening up traditional song structures, as bits of Rick Wright's reverb-soaked Farfisa organ and Barrett's scratchy guitar float in and out of the mix. The other side of Barrett's musical expression was an ability to write shorter "pop" songs that were similar to traditional fare only in length--acid-fueled observations of a Siamese cat on "Lucifer Sam," and child-like tales on "The Gnome" and "Bike."

Report this review  Syds LegacyI bought this CD as a big fan of the late Syd Barret I have already got the Original Piper LP in my collection in good old Mono. I was intrieged as too what the album would sound like in stereo plus a chance to hear all of the early singles without the clicks and pops. The only downside or critism of the 40th Anniversary release is they could have added the 2 songs Syd recorded at time ie Scream thy last sceam! and excluded one of the interstellar overdrive tracks. Having said that the packaging was superb and all the artwork and before now New photos Some great memories from a truly Great band God Bless U Syd.
