Posted on the official Syd Barrett YouTube channel the other day as a Christmas gift to us fans, Team Barrett shared a compilation of tracks that originally appeared on the 1993 Crazy Diamond box set, which featured deluxe editions of The Madcap Laughs, Barrett, and Opel. The set included a wealth of previously unheard outtakes and bonus tracks, many of which have not been released since. In the video below, these tracks have been lovingly bundled together with other popular Syd tunes such as “Rhamadan” and “Bob Dylan Blues,” both of which are still considered outtakes and bonus tracks. Enjoy!
