MUSIC/RECORDINGS

At the end of our "Music Part 3" page, there is this list showing all the recordings Syd made, song by song:

If that wasn't enough, you might see further details for each session, retrieved from David Parker's book Random Precision for kind concession of the author. Go to the pages linked below:

Perhaps for obvious historiographical reasons, it's not by chance that we often find the recordings events listed together, and chronologically, with the record release events, as it happens with both Alan Parker's and Glenn Povey's reference books. Here this list merges discography and recordings:

The three introductory music pages (starting from Music Part 1) may be seen as illustrated discography, with links to each album's page for furher details, but the various-artist compilations are missing there, as well as a Syd Barrett videography. By the way, there is also missing one of the first Syd Barrett works meant to be released: a recording of Interstellar Overdrive for the soundtrack of Peter Whitehead's film Tonite Let's All Make Love in London. The soundtrack was actually released 1968 but it had a second life in 1990 being re-released with the full-length version of Pink Floyd's instrumentals. Originally including several other artists, it turned out to be also a Pink Floyd release in 1991 as promotional mini-album, and then as Pink Floyd EP and video in 1995: see the page Tonite Let's All Make Love in London... Plus.

Coming back to Syd Barrett videography, although it should be limited to a lone live perfomance video (Pink Floyd 66-67), some documentary (like The Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story), and some short video (like the Syd Barrett's First Trip), plus, at most, a few promo films with Pink Floyd from 1967 (not released individually on any physical media), there is a separate page on that: Syd Barrett videography

For a classical detailed discography, then detached from the recordings but more related to collecting, at the moment the Discogs website offers not only discographic information comparable to that in The Pink Floyd Archives or that, but it offers even information about the cheapest prices a collector can find for any new or used record or CD, often in a better way than how he could do on Ebay of Amazon.

Here, similar expandable lists offer slight more detailed columns:
