Today, Capitol/EMI is issuing An Introduction To Syd Barrett, the first collection of the legendary rocker’s music to include both his solo songs along with his Pink Floyd work. Introduction was executive produced by Pink Floyd bandmate David Gilmour, who produced Barrett’s two solo albums, The Madcap Laughs and Barrett (both from 1970), and features five remixed tracks. You can buy Introduction here, but one lucky MAGNET reader can win a prize pack that includes Introduction, the recent Rob Chapman-penned biography Syd Barrett: A Very Irregular Head and a poster. All you need to do is be the first person to email us the answer to this question: What was Barrett’s only solo single? (Send the email to magnetmag@aol.com, and be sure to put “Syd Barrett Contest” in the subject line.)
