| Syd Barrett - Under Review DVD |
The hour-long documentary is said
to be a mix of footage of Syd in performance, in the studio and live,
along with commentary from contributors such as authors Chris Welch and
David Parker, Uncut Magazine’s features editor Nigel Williamson,
journalist Malcolm Dome, and perhaps most interestingly, former Soft
Machine bassist who backed Syd on Madcap Laughs, Hugh Hopper.
The documentary also offers promo
films, interview footage with Syd and other Floyd members, TV clips and
a number of other features.
Covering Syd Barrett’s time with Pink Floyd
as well as his solo years, the extras include the story behind the lost
Barrett recordings, and the ‘hardest Syd Barrett interactive quiz in
the world ever’.
We're hoping to see a copy of
this soon, so that we can report back on this title for you.
We'll let
you know exactly what this DVD really offers, hopefully shortly.
In the
meantime, advance orders are being taken over at Amazon UK and Amazon Germany.
