Description
Ultra Rare Syd Barrett Pink Floyd Collectible Vinyl! A rare opportunity to own one of the most desirable Syd/Floyd pieces, sure to be the centerpiece of a world class Floyd collection! Before you is the UK Promo MISPRESS of Syd Barrett's one and only single, Octopus b/w Golden Hair. Rare enough in its commercial 1969 issue, on this advance promo, unbelievably, Syd Barrett's name is misspelled as "BARRATT"! This is a poignant reminder of how little this groundbreaking, multitalented artist was appreciated, and how his amazing talent was lost to the darkness of personal turmoil and sadly, troubled mental health. Even his own record company could not get his name right -- or be bothered enough to make sure that it was. This mispress UK promo single is rarely seen, and even more rarely comes to market. When it does, it demands and gets top collector price, increasing all the time! Pink Floyd continues to be at the top of the rock world, continually remaining vital and gaining legions of new fans. This is the amazing -- and only -- single by the man who started it all, the original "Crazy Diamond", without whom there would be no Pink Floyd, no Dark Side of the Moon, no who knows what? A rare opportunity to own a piece of history, where it all started. Perhaps this was Syd's own copy?
