The Piper at the gates of dawn

A must have item that could have been done so much better,that's it in a nutshell!
lavishly packaged . Firstly the booklet refered to as Syd Barrett's notes has had one page excised from it, okay it has a lady's breasts on it and a few swear words but I was disappointed to find it missing and with no explanation.
It's nice to have the lyrics for the album (again!) but it would have been even nicer to include the lyrics for the 45,s and alternate version of Matilda mother. Previously unreleased alternate takes are very thin on the ground (2 tracks) but being a lifelong Syd Fan,I still felt compelled to purchase. All in all this is a missed opportunity to put out some of the still unreleased Syd/Floyd tracks...So when the 50th anniversary rolls around I hope EMI/Floyd can be a little more generous,perhaps including BBC sessions, more out takes,live performances or even the promotional films that were made for Arnold Layne(x2) Scarecrow, and the look of the week footage of Pow R Toc H and Astronomy Domine etc...This is a good package but it could have been a definitive resume,must try harder!!!
