How did Syd Barrett get into the WYWH-Session?

David Gilmour has always made sure that Syd compositions were featured on EVERY Pink Floyd compilation. While the forum may ignore compilations the coins add up.

In a similar vein, Chet Bakers record label FORGOT to pay him for his compositions and recordings that were included on COMPILATIONS. A lawsuit uncovered the accounting and turned into a huge settlement for his estate.

Cheers, Michael

 

Shine on You crazy Diamond: SYD
I see what you did there, Mr. Waters...

 

Yeah, I think those pictures are shopped. I immediately recognized him on the third photo, but then realized that it was probably from another photo taken from him and someone used it to shop it.


Also used this picture in another photoshop



Or maybe I'm wrong and they're legit...

 

Obviously the same face in both of those photos. The "editor" flipped it for the shopped version.

 

Is that Syd's head on John Lennon's body?

 

If I remember correctly I saw them on this page: Syd Barrett Rare Film of 1974 »

There are also photos on a blog where there is a description, I remember it was a 3 day session.

By the way the 5 photos that I put represent these songs that have given life in 1974:

 

Amazing what you can do with modern technology these days.

 

Don't know who the man in the photos is, but pretty sure the person behind them was one of the regulars on the Late Night forum, who had a habit of putting together photos like this.

 

In the third photo is more recognizable, I do not see because it was modified.
In this pic is more recognizable, It shows in the look of their eyes:


Here I raised a little more brightness to make it felt more

 

Here is another photo of Syd, and this seems to me to be the only one that represents in the era of the years 72 - 73.

Maybe this was later when he was with the band "Stars"

 

It's another fake unfortunately. From the same person who did the 1974 pics

 

No way dude, that's Ted Neeley pre JC Superstar!

 

Wouldn't it be really wild (here comes fan fiction, hold on) if Syd really did level out at the end of the Meddle album and was brought in as the Brian Wilson type musical director and ghost writer, that was proposed a few years back. The photo of Syd in the studio and story of "wow we had no idea it was him"was smoke and mirrors to throw off the scent that he collaborated and wrote for DSOTM (Syd's thought to have backup singers and sax introduced into the sound) WYWH, and of course Animals(whole Pork Chop story = the mighty flying Pig) and finally the swan song of his (mostly story) The Wall. I can see it.

 

Sid was an outrageous song writer.

Songs still blows me away.

 

Syd Barrett Net Worth: Syd Barrett was an English musician and artist who had a net worth of $5 million.

 

I know. I doubt he knew or cared.

 

Now, yes. Twenty years ago? Next to nothing. His favorite sticker since then reads: 'Remastered'

 

Except 'A Collection of Great Dance Songs'.

 

Definitely Syd, isn't it him?

 

Ah, that's why it looked familiar. Good find.

 

With such high esteem I would think you would get his name right.

 

Syd (mental typo)

"With such high esteem" - Yes!!

Syd's real name: Roger Keith Barrett.

 

They are real photos ?

 

Never seen those pics. Rare indeed. Thanks.

 

Neither has the photographer.
