my favorite pink floyd album by a long distance---excellent production---syd barret was amazing--i would supplement piper at the gates of dawn with "relics" to get some of the singles that i do not think are on it. by the time you get to saucerful of secrets, barret is already kinda out of it. i understand that david gilmour did most of the guitar work on it.
i dont imagine other folk who listen to pink floyd will agree with this, but i prefer barrett to gilmour--this based not on my initial reaction, but over the long haul, listening to the records far too many times, barrett's stuff seems more inventive--gilmour is basically a great blues guitarist. barrett is from a different place altogether.
