I was baffled when I learned that the song "Incarsuration of a Flower Child " was released in 1999 and was not the song I thought I heard on the radio 30+years ago. The song I'm describing had a reoccuring baroque-like keyboard melody and a trippy 3 minute middle 8 guitar solo and few lyrics sung by I believe Roger. It was quite different from some of the other Floyd songs from the mid 60s in that it was more up tempo. The OUTRO sounded like remnents from the Committee LP parts 1 and 2 and this song did not appear on any of Floyd's commercial LPs. I'm interested in finding out whether or not this tune had an official title
Syd Barrett wrote 52 songs. He was a talented, gifted young man. Unfortunately, before his time with Pink Floyd, he smoked a joint now and then. Unfortunately, Syd started taking drugs very early on. His mental state deteriorated in the shared apartment where Syd lived!!! He took LSD several times a week. No brain can handle that. Drug addiction is a mental illness... Syd became lethargic... He didn't live in the here and now... He could no longer play the right scale... He wanted to climb walls... He wanted to hit his sister Rosemary's head with the guitar... At 22, Syd was a sick person. He failed as a painter and musician. I don't know if he ever found salvation or peace for his soul?? Did he ever have therapy? I'm interested in how Syd lived with his illness.
How strange! I always thought the December "Tomorrow's World" recording was much, much earlier. Thanks for sharing. You've done some great work here.
