Description
Embark on an auditory journey with Syd Barrett's iconic "The Madcap Laughs," presented on double vinyl. Released in 1970 by EMI/Harvest, this LP is a cherished piece of the psychedelic rock genre, showcasing Barrett's unique songwriting and the groundbreaking production skills of Roger Waters & David Gilmour. Catalog Number SHVL 765, this record spins at 33 RPM and is enveloped in a classic cardboard sleeve, reflecting the timeless era of the 1970s. Crafted with care in the United Kingdom, the black vinyl material assures a rich auditory experience, complemented by the English language tracks that resonate with the period's spirit. Whether you're a longtime enthusiast or a new admirer, this first edition release is a quintessential component of any rock music collection, offering a nostalgic trip through the psychedelic landscape of the past.
This is a variant per my online research. Please read notes below.
Released in an outside laminated gatefold cover where the disc is housed in the rear opening and the front opening is glued shut with no inner flap.
Green/yellow Harvest labels with no EMI logo, 'The Gramophone Co. Ltd.' at 11 o'clock in rim text and ‘Made in Gt. Britain' at the bottom center.
First catalogue number on cover rear and labels, second (EMI international catalogue number) in parentheses on cover rear.
The back cover states printing date 6911 (November 1969). This was clearly in advance of the 1970 release date.
This is very similar to the original UK release Syd Barrett The Madcap Laughs, except for the following label only differences:
• 'SYD BARRETT' appears further up above the 'HARVEST' lettering at 9 o'clock.
• Side B writing credit for B2 appears as "Barrett + Joyce", instead of "Barrett except + Joyce".
• On both label sides there is a gap between 'Lupus Music Ltd.' and 'Produced by ...'.
• On the cover, tracks B4 to B6 have a combined running time of 7:59.
