Rare Barrett recording goes unsold

Posted July 7, 2010 by Floydian Slip

A rare live recording of Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett went on the auction block last month, but failed to sell.

“I am currently awaiting to see if a pending post-sale offer is to be completed,” Bonhams auction house consultant Stephen Maycock told Floydian Slip.

Maycock says bidders failed to reach a reserve price for the recording, which expected to fetch upwards of $5,000, on the day of the auction June 23. He declined to name the reserve price.

The reel of ½-inch tape contains a concert performed Jan. 27, 1972, at the Corn Exchange in Cambridge, England. The show included Barrett in one of his last live performances sitting-in for three numbers with the Last Minute Put Together Boogie Band: “Number Nine,” “Gotta Be a Reason,” “Let’Roll,” and “Sweet Little Angel.”

The recording also includes performances by Hawkwind and Pink Fairies.
