Customer Reviews Syd Barrett - 'The Radio One Sessions' (Strange Fruit) 3 1/2 stars Good, well decent. . rare radio broadcast of a John Peel session. Believe the rarity of this performance sort of over rides the sound quality, although it's acceptable. I thought "Gigolo Aunt", "Two Of A Kind", the trippy "Baby Lemonade" and "Dominos" made this CD at least worth checking out. Line-up: Syd - guitar & vocals, Dave Gilmour - organ, bass & guitar and Jerry Shirley (Humble Pie, Fastway) - drums. My only complaint is this release should have been longer than a mere twenty minutes. Next time, add some bonus material. Pretty much aimed toward the completists. Syd, now its a fact we wish you were here HM . Cambridge saw you born Cambridge saw you left, you were long gone long gone as you sang, you left days ago but you said goodbay long decades ago, this is only a consolidation of your goodbay , progressive rock would be the same without you , Pink Floyd wouldnt be the same without you , the music wouldnt be the same without you, we wish you were here. Syd Barrett, RIP His whimsical songwriting style was unique and greatly influenced many famous musicians like David Bowie. Syd Barrett will be greatly missed. This cd is an essential purchase for those wishing a taste of genius. . You can see a complete list of all Syd Barrett discography, or go back to the Syd Barrett tabs
