Syd Barrett: A Very Irregular Head
by Rob Chapman
Syd Barrett was the lead guitarist, vocalist, and principle songwriter in the original line up of Pink Floyd.
During his brief time with the band (1966-68), he was the driving force behind the unit.
After he left Pink Floyd he made just two further solo albums which were both released in 1970, before withdrawing from public view to lead
a quiet, and occasionally troubled life in Cambridge, the town of his birth.
Rob Chapman's book is the first authoritative and exhaustively researched biography of Syd Barrett that fully celebrates
his life and legacy as a musician, lyricist and artist, and which highlights the influence that he continues to have over
contemporary bands and music fans alike.
