SYD
Barrett has returned.
Syd left the Pink Floyd over a year ago after writing
the group's only two single hits – “See Emily Play"
and "Arnold Layne".
Since then, nothing.
But now, with
a new single "Octopus"
under his own name and a debut album due out this month, Syd Barrett is back in
the record business.
I met Syd in a
plush off-Oxford Street office. His hair is as wild as it used to be, preserving
his former imagei ntact. He talked of when he split with the Floyd.
"When we parted
I had written everything for the group. My leaving sort of evened things out within
the group.
"Since then I have been doing lots of things-things
interesting for me. I've done a lot of traipsing around. I've been back to Spain-Ibitza.
I first went there with Rick (Wright) three years
ago. It's an interesting place to be.
"I've
written quite a lot, too".
Syd, with the
Pink Floyd, was the first to emerge from the Underground scene centered around the
UFO (club) in Tottenham Court Road in 1967.
"Everything
was so rosy at UFO. It was really nice to go there after slogging around the pubs
and so on. Everyone had their own thing. It's been interesting to see things turning
out the way they have.
"During the
past six months there have been some very good things released. The best things
I've bought are the new Taj Mahal album, Captain Beefheart, and The Band.
"I don't think
any of them have influenced my writing though. I've been writing in all sorts of
funny places."
Syd's new album
is called "The
Madcap Laughs".
He said; "They're
my particular idea of a record. It's very together. There's a lot of speaking on
it- but there's not a very recognizable mood. It's mainly acoustic guitar and there
are no instruments at all.
His future plans
are quite simple. "I'm just waiting to see how the records do – what the reactions
are – before I decide on anything else."
And he had a final
word about the "UmmaGumma"
album by Pink Floyd. "They've probably done very well. The singing’s very
good and the drumming’s good as well.”
