SYD BARRETT: A VERY IRREGULAR HEAD

Book ID/图书代码： 04560010B35189

English Summary/英文概要： By February 1972, it was effectively all over for Syd Barrett, founder member and guiding creative force behind the original Pink Floyd. In the summer of 2006 he died at the age of sixty, a remote and sensitive individual whose psychedelic footprints left a trail back to the mid-sixties and the height of the London underground.

With exceptional style and gusto, Syd Barrett dismantles the myth of Loony Syd the Acid Casualty and reveals a young man whose psychedelic parameters expanded too fast, too soon, as his early success with the album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn shocked him into a frenetic pop world he was not yet ready for - and perhaps never even wanted. Maybe, just maybe, Syd was not cut out for the rock ’n’ roll long haul; maybe, like a comet, he was destined to burn bright and leave a long train.

This book is a gateway to a vision of one man’s Arcadia, an exploration of a genius songwriter and artist whose musical influence resonated through punk, post-punk and the artier end of Britpop. Including for the first time extensive interviews with the Barrett family, and with reference to his letters, juvenilia, and work as an artist, Syd Barrett is, finally, the book this most extraordinary of English eccentrics deserves.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 到了1972年2月，赛德•贝瑞特，这位原版“粉红弗洛伊德”乐队创始人兼背后创作中坚力量已经红遍全球。2006年夏天，他去世了，享年六十。这是一位疏远而敏感的人，他迷离的脚印留在了60年代中期和伦敦地铁里。

杰出的风格和劲道，赛德•贝瑞特揭开了《卢尼•赛德——酸性死亡》的神话，展现了一位少年轻狂，带着急速发展的迷离，正如其成功的早期专辑。《黎明之门前的吹笛人》让他感到震惊而陷入狂热的流行音乐世界。他还没有准备好——也许从未被需要过。也许，只是也许，赛德没有中途偏离摇滚乐之旅，也许，他就像颗彗星一样注定要闪亮燃烧，留下长长的痕迹。

本书是对一个处于世外桃源的天才作曲家和艺术家及其对朋克音乐、后朋克音乐以及英伦摇滚的影响的记录。本书首次披露了对巴雷特家族的大量访谈，并参考他的信件、早期作品以及作为艺术家赛德•贝瑞特的工作。最后，本书古怪的英语用词也是非常有价值的。(兼职翻译-JDM)

‘… sensitive and scrupulous … under the sticky layers of myth, Chapman reveals a remote but charming English eccentric.’ Helen Brown, Daily Telegraph

‘…delving beneath long-accepted “facts”’ Liz Thomson, Independent

‘Chapman’s biography digs beneath the romanticising of Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett as crazed psychedelic Icarus to find a dreamy child of Cambridge intellectuals, a 1960s bridge between the English Edwardian fantasies of Wind in the Willows and the acid-fuelled explorations of US psychedelic rock.’ Ludovic Hunter-Tilney, Financial Times

‘Rather amazingly, Barrett is recast as a fascinating, multifaceted human being rather than some crude 2D graphic on a square of LSD blotter.’ --Roy Wilkinson, Word (10 Best Books of 2010)
