SYD BARRETT - OCTOPUS
1970 Audiodisc US mega rare unreleased 7" 45 rpm cut on 10" metal acetate
ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE ACETATE OF SYD BARRETT ONLY 7", TAKEN OFF HIS 2nd LP "THE MADCAP LAUGHS" AND UNRELEASED IN THE US!! AS A MATTER OF FACT THIS SONG WAS ONLY RELEASED IN UK AND FRANCE AS 7", SO IT MIGHT BE THE ONLY SURVIVING PROOF OF A PLANNED 7" RELEASE, SUBSEQUENTLY CANCELED DUE TO LP POOR SALES.
THIS FOUR-HOLES ACETATE COMES WITH AUDIODISC SLEEVE AND HAS ONE PLAYING OCTOPUS TRACK ON ONE SIDE AND A SMALL STICKER WITH "SYD BARRETT OCTOPUS 45 RPM" HANDWRITTEN IN PEN. ON THE OTHER SIDE IS THE AUDIODISC CLASSIC YELLOW LABEL WITH "RIGHT CHANNEL ONLY / NOT APPROVED" WRITTED IN PEN, "SYD BARRETT / OCTOPUS" IN BLACK PENCIL AND ON THE DISC "DO NOT PLAY / NO L-CHANNEL" IN WHITE PENCIL. I TRIED TO PLAY THIS SIDE (couldn't resist!) AND IT (BADLY) PLAYS AS IT SAYS ONLY RIGHT CHANNEL BUT AT 33 rpm.
CONDITION: VG. SHINY AND STILL WITH LUSTRE, THIS 10" ACETATE (TO BE CONSIDERED ONE-SIDED) PLAYS WITH OBVIOUS BACKGROUND NOISE AND CRACKLES, DUE TO ITS 50 YRS. OF AGE AND THE DELICATE NATURE OF ACETATE LATHE. NO HEAVY SCRATCHES AND DEFINITELY NO SKIPS. AUDIODISC SLEEVE ALSO HAS SOME WEAR AND RIPS NEAR THE CENTRAL HOLE AND SPLITS ON THE SEAMS. PLEASE CHECK PICTURES OR ASK FOR MORE IF YOU WANT
DEFINITELY ONE OF THE TOP RARE SYD BARRETT / PINK FLOYD RELATED RARITIES EVER SURFACED, AND NO RESERVE!!!
THIS MIGHT BE THE ONLY CHANCE YOU WILL EVER HAVE...YOU'VE BEEN SO LUCKY TO SEE IT... DON'T LET IT GO!
