    They haven't released the 1965 EP or Interstellar Overdrive single other than as an RSD limited edition. I understand there is a larger audience for mono Piper, though.

    On top of that it is still easy to find the IO vinyl for less then new price. The 1965 7” ep on the other hand

    No.

    And no doubt for the very reason you’re asking.

    Par for the course, really. When the Beatles Mono Box was announced we must have had a dozen threads about it before it was anywhere near released.

    Unfortunately, almost every contribition David Gilmour made to Syd Barrett's solo albums (as well as his posthumous releases) has been a disaster.

    Inexperienced, incompetent production from people who, let's say, did not always have Syd's best interest in mind.

    Syd Is not without blame, to allow his "friends" to take over for Malcolm Jones, friends that had zero production experience, zero time to devote to the project, friends that staged a bloody coup to fire and replace him from his band was insane.

    I don't even remember when RSD is. And I never said that I was getting an advanced copy.

    Can you leave the second copy for someone else who may want it at normal retail?

    Thanks!

    UK Nice Pair definitely sounds better. I had both and sold the US. Plus, the alternate lesser version of Astronomy Domine on the US makes it a no brainer for me.

    The whole point of RSD was to limit the releases. There's been lots of RSD First creep over the years.

    Have I understood correctly that this is not AAA and will probably be available after RSD with a different jacket ? I prefer the original - why mess with such a classic ?

    I think that this is a very one-sided interpretation of the events.

    Howw do you deal with a bandmember that is clearly not functioning? In the late 60s drug addiction and its psychological effects were hardly common knowledge. These were young men who dealt with a very difficult situation, but it is very hard to see how they would be able to continue with Syd Barrett. To describe this very drawn-out, obviously painful process as a "bloody coup" is rather stunning, especially when it comes from someone who knows the history of the band so well.

    As for the solo recordings. It is very possible that without Gilmour and/or Waters we would not have any solo material by Syd at all. Even though the recordings were rushed, they were also done in very difficult cirumstances. It would not be unusual if this frustrated Gilmour, but then again how do you deal with someone who is in such a bad mental stage. It is not that Barrett functioned better with other musicians, right?

    ...Oh, god. I can imagine a duophonic mix, or an extremely phased mix. Either how, that would be some sort of experience, and I mean a horrible one.
    No. The original jacket design from 1967 is preserved on the record, but another package design houses the record with its poster.

    It's none of my business, but it's none of yours either. Besides, how do you know Ron isn't buying one for a friend. Remember the days when you'd get in line for a gig and buy ticket for a friend because they couldn't join the queue for some reason, same thing really..

    To imply that Syd was "not functioning" is short-sighted, as well as blaming what happened on "drug addiction". The members of Floyd were equally to blame for Syd's withdrawl as was his own desires and indulgences. There was good reason that he was writing songs like "Vegetable Man" and pulling things like the "Have You Got It Yet?" incident. It's easy for people to blame it on him being "crazy" but I'm sure there is a lot more to it than that.

    I doubt it because it is listed as an exclusive, rather than a first release.

    I probably will end up giving one away as a gift. Karma adjustment. One thing for sure is that I won't be selling it for a profit.

    Hopefully the store you goes to limits it to one copy per person like mine does.
