We now have details of the new, non-deluxe version that is being published worldwide soon, at a much more affordable price.
Mick's friendship with Syd began in Cambridge in the mid-1960s, and flourished when they both subsequently lived in London. This magnificent book, featuring some 200 colour and black & white photos, covers the period 1969–71 and includes the photo session in and around Syd’s London flat, which culminated in the cover for his first solo album, The Madcap Laughs. Within these pages are some of the most famous images of Syd Barrett, as well as a wealth of photographs that have rarely been seen before. The book was published last month in Germany by Schwarzkopf & Schwarzkopf, and the worldwide edition - hitting stores around October 29th - is published by Plexus Publishing. You can order the book, at time of writing with a healthy discount, through the following special links: Amazon UK, Amazon US/International, Amazon Canada, Amazon Germany, or Amazon France. If you live outside these countries, don't worry - Amazon will ship the book, well packaged, worldwide. |
