Barrett DVD |
MVD reports: Music Video Distributors and
Chrome Dreams are pleased to announce the home viewing release of Syd Barrett
- Under Review for US distribution on DVD Feb 21, 2006.
While his former band mates in Pink Floyd
have become global superstars, Syd Barrett remains an enigma and a complete
recluse. But it was Syd who originally formed the band, immediately becoming
its chief songwriter and lead guitarist, and, many would say, the force
who dominated the group throughout its most creative period.
