Book Reviews of Syd Barrett: Crazy Diamond: The Dawn Of Pink Floyd
Book Review: As good as it's going to get?
Summary: 5 Stars
There are to date, to my mind, two biographies on Syd available (not counting "Random Precision" or the first few chapters of any Floyd bios). Info on him is always second-hand as the man himself remains elusive, and probably always will. This book uses the limited resources available well, collating every known anecdote on Barrett (yes, the Mandrax/face incident, the green fridge, the alleged howling in cellars) - apocryphal or otherwise - and as such is the last word on him. Neither glamourising, nor entirely wagging a finger at Barrett's acid-fried antics, and clearly besotted with Our Hero's Good Stuff (his music, his charm and his subversive sense of humour) the authors have delivered a worthy book on Syd. The best there is.
