Footnotes

  1. This version originally closed the standard edition of Opel . [12]
  2. The first take, a false start, and the second take of "Octopus" was released on the 1993 Crazy Diamond reissue of The Madcap Laughs. [20] [21] An early version of "Clowns and Jugglers", involving military-style drumming and organ overdubs was included on the standard version of Opel, [21] while a stripped-down version is included on the Crazy Diamond reissue of Opel. [21]
  3. Titled "Silas Lang" on the recording sheet, later retitled to "Swan Lee". [22]
  4. Despite the "Opel" being almost complete and better produced, Gilmour and Waters decided to leave the track off Madcap. [31]
  5. The version of "Clowns and Jugglers" that was overdubbed, was the first version that Jones and Barrett had worked on during their first session together. [34]
  6. Gilmour and Waters may have heard the Soft Machine version of "Clowns and Jugglers", which may have been the reason to why they later re-made it. [38]
  7. 11 takes were recorded for both new versions of "Octopus" and "Golden Hair". [46]
  8. Not finishing it in this session, it was attempted and finished at a later date. [46]
  9. After only recording two takes of "Dark Globe", it was deemed finished, however, by the end of the session they recorded a third take. [46] Although the version recorded earlier in the session was issued instead. [47]
  10. Jones' reaction to this version was that of disappointment. [48]
  11. This later version of "Long Gone" became the album master. [48]
  12. For this session, "Dark Globe" was titled "Wouldn't You Miss Me" on the recording sheet. [48]
  13. The Gilmour–Waters-produced tracks were mixed first by Gilmour and Waters, while the Jones-produced tracks for mixed by Gilmour alone on 16 September. [50]
  14. According to Jones, Barrett was "pissed off", with the delay, as was Jones himself. [48]
  15. UK EMI Harvest HAR 5009 [59]
  16. At Jones' choice, it was backed by the Gilmour–Waters-produced version of "Golden Hair" as the b-side. [46]
  17. UK EMI Harvest SHVL 765 [61]
  18. Back in the 60s and 70s, labels were being resistant to letting their stars appear on other rival label releases. In the case of Madcap, Jones thought this gained it "an air of mystery". [60]

An Introduction to Syd Barrett is a 'best of' compilation featuring the work of Syd Barrett spanning the period 1967–1970, including both material written during his time with Pink Floyd and his post-band solo career.

"Baby Lemonade", and another song, "Gigolo Aunt", were recorded by Barrett playing and singing over a prerecorded backing track. The solo was performed by Barrett, not David Gilmour as is often noted. The intro was actually Barrett simply warming-up on guitar, that Gilmour had managed to record and placed it at the start of the album, making it seem like an intro to the song. It was included on the multi-artist Harvest compilation, A Breath of Fresh Air – A Harvest Records Anthology 1969–1974 in 2007.

Playing acoustic guitar and singing disconnected lyrics as if their meaning were patently obvious, Barrett comes off like John Lennon on a placid acid trip: pretty, poetic, strange. Although this is an important and rewarding document, Barrett — also recently reissued — is a more accessible record of his final creative efforts.
