Harvest

The <a href="https://www.discogs.com/label/2597-Harvest">Harvest Heritage</a> series showcases some of the most memorable releases from this legendary label.

Syd Barrett was a British guitarist, singer, songwriter, composer, and painter. He played a key role in the development of London's underground music scene during the late 1960s and had a lasting influence on popular music. Unfortunately, he faced mental health issues possibly exacerbated by drug use after achieving success with Pink Floyd. As his behavior became increasingly unpredictable and unreliable as a performer, he left the band in 1968 and pursued a brief solo career before retiring from music. Barrett passed away in 2006 due to complications from diabetes.

Despite his relatively short period of activity, Syd Barrett remains an influential figure in music history. Born on January 6th, 1946 in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England, UK, he made significant contributions to the vibrant underground music scene of late 1960s London.

After experiencing success with Pink Floyd but struggling with mental health problems likely influenced by drug use, Barrett's time with the band came to an end in 1968. He embarked on a brief solo career and released albums such as The Madcap Laughs and Barrett before ultimately leaving the industry altogether.

180 Gram vinyl. Born in Cambridge in 1946, Roger Keith 'Syd' Barrett was the primary songwriter, guitarist and original lead vocalist in (the first incarnation of) Pink Floyd. He formed the band in the mid-1960s with drummer Nick Mason, bassist Roger Waters and keyboard-player Richard Wright. With their groundbreaking, semi-improvised sets at the legendary UFO club in London's Tottenham Court Road, they became the prime movers of british psychedelia. Syd Barrett left Pink Floyd in April 1968. 'Barrett' was his second solo album released in november 1970, and contains tracks such as 'Baby Lemonade' and 'Gigolo Aunt' that provided the names for two groups in the 80s and 90s. The album was produced by David Gilmour and Richard Wright, featured Gilmour on bass guitar, Wright on keyboard and Humble Pie drummer Jerry Shirley.
