Notes

Front laminated sleeve.

5C054-04299 catalog number on cover, 5C 054-04299 catalog number on labels.
Track A2 is misspelled on both cover and label as "Mathilda Mother". Should be "Matilda Mother".
Track A4 is misspelled on both cover and label as ''Candy And A Current Bun''. Should be "Candy And A Currant Bun".
May have 'Odeon' stickers attached over the Columbia logos.
There are several minor variations of label leading and kerning. Differences to look for are: Leading between the band name and album title in relation to the track list; location of matrix# on the left side; and much tighter kerning on side A with the text "(1-5: Barrett)".

    Great way to get all of the early hard-to-find singles etc. Nice sounding pressing, although my A Side appears to be cut slightly off centre which causes a whirring noise throughout (only really noticeable between tracks).

      This was the first LP release anywhere of some of the rare Syd Barret singles.

        Far better cover than the Masters Of Rock version, but Dave Gilmour? He is only on three tracks...
