First look at 'Barrett', the book, by Russell Beecher & Will Shutes

Receiving my pre-ordered copy and opening it for the first time.

"The book has been made in conjunction with the Barrett family and access to the family art and photograph archive, and their recollections have combined to show a new picture of Syd the creative, revealing a man who was a dedicated, practising artist throughout his life."

My name is Mark Jones and I'm a well known Syd & early Pink Floyd fan and have helped with the documentary 'A Technicolour Dream', Julian Palacios's book 'Dark Globe' & Rob Chapman's book 'A Very Irregular Head'. I was also called upon by the managers of Pink Floyd & The Syd Barrett Estate to help with the photographs for the official Syd Barrett website. I have also designed many CD & DVD covers for unofficial Syd related releases, featuring officially unreleased recordings & videos.

If you just want to hear my impressions, so that the contents aren't spoiled for you then skip to 10 mins and 40 secs in.

Spread the word, spread the music, long live Syd, rest in peace Roger.

A genuine genius. A visionary and an artist!
