Crazy Diamond: Syd Barrett and the Dawn of Pink Floyd

Front Cover
Omnibus Press, Dec 17, 2009 - Music - 192 pages
A revealing investigation into the life of a reclusive cult genius.

Syd Barrett was Pink Floyd's founder, singer, guitarist and principal composer, who left the group in 1968 amidst tales of acid-induced madness.

Barrett's brief flash of erratic brilliance is now the stuff of rock legend, and his post-Floyd recordings have become cult classics.

Revised in 2006, this book draws on years on research to relate the story of an epic rock tragedy.
