Hey Charade I Am,

I'm sorry I didn't answer before, I'm having a lot of work to do lately. But anyway, the "Crazy Diamond" boxed set is a must have, I think, for any Syd fan. It's awesome to hear some of the takes for his song, you can actually have a feeling of how they evoluted, and also of Syd's state of mind (including how high he was [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] )at the time.

For instance, on one of the takes for "She took a long cold look", he goes completely out of tune, he can't reach the higher pitches. Then you check out the song that was released and see how he just dropped it a little. At first, I thought it was a bad taste to include that take on the boxed set, but then I thought it was actually cool to see how things went.

I have mine for 4 or 5 years, so I can't tell if it's really out of the stores in the US. You might want to check the information out on Syd'd releases page...

Anyway, shine on!!!

CrazyDiamond
