Syd Barrett catalog to be reissued on vinyl

Posted June 28, 2014 by Floydian Slip

Rhino Records and Parlophone will reissue Syd Barrett‘s three solo albums on heavy-weight vinyl this summer.

The companies will offer “The Madcap Laughs” (1970), “Barrett” (1970) and “Opel” (1988) as 180-gram LPs, sporting the original yellow and green Harvest label.

The records will drop June 30 in the U.K., and arrive in the U.S. July 8.

Barrett released “The Madcap Laughs” and “Barrett” both in 1970, shortly after departing Pink Floyd. Floyd’s David Gilmour and Roger Waters helped produce the material, with Gilmour and Rick Wright appearing on the recordings.

“Opel” is a collection of alternate takes released long after Barrett became reclusive.

California hotel opens Pink Floyd suite

Posted June 15, 2014 by Floydian Slip

The Casa Madrona hotel in Sausalito, Calif., has opened to the public the suite where a young Pink Floyd stayed during its first tour of the United States.

Dubbing the second floor suite the Piper Room, the 64-room San Francisco-area hotel is catering to Floyd fans by adorning the suite with photos of the group and a copy of Nick Mason’s coffee table book “Inside Out,” and by playing a Floyd songlist when guests enter the suite.

The band was photographed during its 1967 stay by William Baron on the hotel’s fire escape.

No word on how much the Piper Room costs, but deluxe rooms in the hotel start at $509 a night, with at least one suite going for $10,000 a night.
