Syd Barrett - He Who Laughs First 1970-1971 - Full Album 

The style of the band at this point was heavily indebted to the first Pink Floyd album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, but filtered through their own color spectrum. The Pink Floyd connection went beyond mere sonic hat tipping, since Alice Cooper played host to Pink Floyd on the British band's first U.S. tour. “We were the house band at the Cheetah for a period of time in ’67,” Smith recalls. “One of the perks was we could go see any of the bands playing there. Pink Floyd were there one week. I remember the first or second song they played, Syd went up to sing and boom! A spark came from the microphone and hit his lip. He just put his arms down to his sides, backed about a foot away from the stand and just stood there like a statue for the rest of the night. After the show, they came back to our house and partied with us all night long. Syd walked in like a zombie. He didn’t talk to anybody, he just stood there. He seemed a bit psychotic, and the mass quantities of LSD certainly didn’t help.” Read More: Alice Cooper Drummer Neal Smith Recalls the Early Days | ultimateclassicrock.com/alice-cooper-neal-smith-interview-2018/? Those bastards didn't even take him to the hospital after getting electrocuted on stage.

Syd laughed at Jerry when he looked at him at times as jerry said It made him feel really stupid as the laughter was aimed at Jerry he was only 16

Perfectly put!!!

Other musicians would not be able to spend a few moments with him. He was completely deranged. You should read a little bit, earn about what you're discussing. You think he surrounded himself with these people? These people gave their time an effort to try and get something out of Syd. They loved him. This was not his idea

Thnak you for saying this.

Agreed

Actually, he was two of a kind.

one of God's failed prototypes, never intended for mass production. Too weird to live, too rare to die.

Syd is mis represented. He WASN'T mad. He maybe saw things TOO honestly. When his childhood mindset was rudely ruined by the cold steel rail of adulthood and a music industry that, ironically, now pushes his genius at the same time of packaging him. And, being a soul less, controlled product was what Syyd feared.

@@davidaston5773 He was a real artist.

Ikr such a great find. -KC

Agreed!

These appear to be unreleased takes that have not seen the light of day other than this obscure bootleg I located. -KC

blur ..so much to me.

Seems like that rush inspired punk :)

"Syd Barrett but it's AI"

I take you enjoyed the album? Lol -KC

It's quite interesting. I mean, it's awful quality of course. And while I quite like Syd, I'm not a Syd-worshipper like some. But I did enjoy it. I'd describe it as more "fascinating" than "good."

@@justinodum6134 I can understand. Some of the most interesting stuff tend to be of poor quality

@@TheRareMusicArchiveCollection Indeed , Syd´s playing on this version of " Baby Lemonade " is one of those blatant examples of just how unique and alien even , his vision was/is . Unpredictable, wild, loose ... all which most music never was / has been . What a great collection of rare stuff , nice one !

@@saraivatoledo1842 Baby Lemonade has definite overtones of 'Scream Thy Last Scream' . Interesting!

Thanks and you are very welcome

@@TheRareMusicArchiveCollection Guacamole Kid ...I totally 👍 Wholeheartedly agree! & Yes thank's for posting this Album.

Kjern vodjër ut mambagerk !!!

To my knowledge, Stars never had any recordings (although I would LOVE to be wrong).
