This fall, EMI/Harvest will release “An Introduction to Syd Barrett,” a compilation of remixed and remastered songs Pink Floyd‘s co-founder recorded with the band and during his brief solo career.
The title will include as a bonus track “Rhamadan,” a previously unreleased Barrett recording, to be made available as a download.
Floyd’s David Gilmour is Executive Producer of the album. Working with Damon Iddins and Andy Jackson at his Astoria houseboat studio, he’s remixed six tracks for the project: “Matilda Mother”; “Here I Go”; “Octopus”; “She Took a Long Cold Look,” renamed here “She Took a Long Cool Look”; “Octopus”; and “Here I Go,” which now features a bass guitar track, lacking in the original recording.
Jackson remastered all the other tracks from the analoge originals.
“Rhamadan” is a 20-minute instrumental by Barrett, which has never-before been released. It’ll be available as a download to those who purchase the CD or the entire album online.
