The Syd Barrett Years

This set was compiled from the best available sources and remastered with care. There was no hiss reduction or fake stereo processing done to this set. Mono recordings appear here in true mono. I was often able to reduce hiss with EQ rather than harsh processing. These tracks were remastered in a similiar fashion to the official Pink Floyd remasters, so excellent quality tracks such as the legendary unreleased “Vegetable Man” and “Scream Thy Last Scream” will blend in nicely on your own Floyd mix CD or playlist. The BBC Sessions appear here with the original DJ intros and have been edited to flow straight through with each broadcast. I am not a member of the Pink Floyd bootleg community, but I am a huge Syd Barrett fan. I was given the raw material for this set by a knowledgeable Floyd collector. I have no idea if all these sources are widely circulating, but the I’ve been told that this set beats all the other common ones, so if you’re a fan, you definitely need this set

This set was compiled from the best available sources. Fan-made mutli-disc sets such as “Have You Got It Yet” were not used. These sets tend to be over-processed for mass consumption. This set is mastered from an audiophile standpoint. Mono material appears in true mono and not re-processed stereo. There was no additional echo or ambience added. Noise reduction was not used on any material. Hiss was often reduced with judicious equalization. I have tried to present the best sonic experience possible without compromising the integrity of the source material at hand. If you need just one consise Syd Barrett bootleg in your collection, then this would be the one.

Soundboard recording from reel – probably 2nd or 3rd gen. reel. More dynamic range and less hissy sounding than the previous seed. Also includes an extra minute and a half of a partial “Leaves They Are Green” that’s missing from the previous copy and from most lists of this show on the web. This copy was gone through carefully to seamlessly remove many clicks and other minor flaws, and has not been circulated from this source before. There is still quite a bit of tape hiss, but not as loud or in the way of the music as on the other copy.

Notes: This show has been traded as various dates and places but most call it Tufts University ’66 or march 11, 1967. My reel was labeled “Tufts University Fall 1966” but evidence found on the web shows the date as March 11, 1967. There is an article and ad from the MIT University newspaper that mentions that they are playing that week but does not say that they also played at Tufts in 1966, so I am assuming that March 11, 1967 is the likely date of this recording. I have included those 2 pdf files, plus a poster that I found on the web as part of some artwork. My reel was recorded right around the time that this tape first circulated widely in the late ’70’s. I think it was originally given out by someone who worked at the show. It was not supposed to be traded, but was soon leaked by someone and then bootlegged extensively after that.
