Crazy Diamond: Syd Barrett Syd Barrett and the Dawn of Pink Floyd

New revised edition.

Crazy Diamond is the best-selling biography of Syd Barrett, the legendary founder of Pink Floyd whose all too brief flash of erratic brilliance became one of rock's greatest enigmas.

Originally Pink Floyd's singer, guitarist, and principal composer, Barrett left the group in 1968 amid wild tales of acid induced madness. He made two solo albums which became cult classics and the disappeared, only to become the subject of countless "Where is Syd?" investigations.

Crazy Diamond draws on years of research and numerous interviews with Barrett's family and associates to relate a rock tragedy of epic proportions. This new edition of the book has been updated following Barrett's death in 2006.

Includes numerous rare photographs, a full discography and a foreword by Julian Cope.
