William Gerrard Wrote::D Aw, thanks guys! I'd probably post here more often again if my life wasn't as cluttered as it is nowadays.

Just make sure you post once in a while. We need your knowledge about John Lennon!! :)

William Gerrard Wrote:My friend Alex and I discuss Pink Floyd, and I've told him before that as a John Lennon fan, I have many interviews, films, albums, and memorabilia to rely on. I also explained to him that as a Syd Barrett fan, Pink Floyd's appearance on The BBC Look Of The Week is the only footage I've seen of Syd speaking. I've heard other audio of him speaking though, in between songs on the albums 'The Madcap Laughs' and 'Opel'. He's also got a BBC Sessions album that I don't own and haven't heard; it's possible that he may speak on that as well, but I don't know.

ive got the bbc sessions he doesnt really speak

The Syd Barrett apreciation society got an interview with syd just a few years ago and they've been promising to post it on the site for like 3 years, and i've always waited but they keep postponing.

i bought a video collection of old floyd stuff from brain damage magazine about 12 yrs ago. syd's look of the week interveiw was on it!

First time I've heard him speak as well! Thanks for the link.

Actually, I have audio in which he messes up and talks a little.Tell Me If you want it.

If you go to You Tube recently they unearthed an interview of Syd in summer/autumn 67.
Be prepared; he is completely out of it & there are LONG lapses of quiet when he's asked a question.
It gives you an idea though of what his mind was like at that time. He sounds GONE!!!! BEWARE!!
