Pink Floyd - Piper At the Gates of Dawn I Vinyl Monday

[@abigaildevoe]

hey everybody Madcap Laughs was actually released in 1970! typo was left over from a section on syd recording post-floyd through ‘68 (including what would become Madcap) that was left out of the final cut. my bad!!

[@michaelwebster8389]

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is one of the truly great records of the rock music era - 1960s til now. It's just an explosion of creativity, utterly unique, and in a very small group of albums that achieved such a level or originality and ceativity.

[@raulmacias6146]

The "Piper" album was badly produced! Joe Boyd, who produced The Pink Floyd"s first single "Arnold Layne/Candy And A Currant Bun", would have done a much better job. I wish the band had signed with "Polydor Records" then Joe Boyd would have produced the album. Boyd was replaced with Norman Smith when the The Floyd signed with E.M.I. The rear drawing is actually a picture of The Pink Floyd.

@@raulmacias6146 You should hear the mono version, it’s sounds much more similar to the Arnold Layne’s sound.

We remember Roger 'Syd' Barrett here in Cambridge as a local lad who was like a comet in the sky which burnt brilliantly for a short time. His death here was a quiet affair in true English style but I attended one of the tribute concerts. Before the pandemic the drummer of Pink Floyd ,Nick Mason, came and played a set mainly of Syd's stuff in the Corn Exchange, the place where Syd last played in public in 1972.

[@davidellis5141]

Syd Barret did gift the world with the masterpiece Piper ... He was a Genius.

[@ChrisSmith-xh9wb]

What made this record stand out at the time was Rick Wright's unique, other-worldly keyboard playing, different from anything that had gone before and a perfect vehicle for Sid's whimsical lyrics, notable on" Scarecrow".

[@debbiehanisch2099]

It really is very sad that Syd had become a vegetable and had never regained his health in terms of being conscious of the reality of what we all really feel all the time. If he wanted to, he could have went to visit the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi just like the Beatles did when they were trying to get away from the use of drugs.Instead, he chose to keep using LSD to help him creatively in both music and art.Such a very sad case to happen to someone who was a creative genius.Nice video as usual Abby!!!

[@You_Do_Have_The_Power_33]

That “we dumped your tea in the harbor” song/dance just so randomly thrown in that way is just one example of why Abigail is so unique and fun to listen to. What a trip ☺️

THE GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME (TIME TIME TIME!)

[@crisprtalk6963]

As much as I enjoy all the classic Floyd tunes, Shine On, Echoes etc, I never really go out of my way to listen to them anymore. I always however, go out of my way to listen to Syd tunes, whether from PIper, Madcap. Barrett, or Opel. He was the best songwriter! His tunes are timeless and filled with pure emotions. Long live the Madcap!

[@cwyt-ck8cu]

Wow Abigail!!! I am getting old and was googling "Bike" to see if my recollection of such a track by Pink Floyd was even genuine, and it led me to this video. I thought I would watch for 20 seconds and move on. What a knowledgeable, thoughtful, entertaining lady you are. Big respect goes to you.

[@GaryArmstrongmacgh]

David Gilmour saw to it that even after Syd Barrett's exit from the band...Syd got his royalties so he could live. Bless David's good heart. So much skullduggery in business. Gilmour showed the higher power of human morals. As well as being a badass guitarists and singer himself!

[@abigaildevoe]

i always wonder what became of syd after he left the music business, it really warms my heart that david and the guys made sure their old friend was taken care of.

[@jonvought700]

I know very little but remember (barely) reading an article about him in the seventies (in a magazine). I believe he was living at his mother's house in London, and gardening. He was interviewed for the article, so he was willing to brook questions, but only to a point. He said, and I believe this is an accurate quote, "It's very painful." There was a picture too. @@abigaildevoe

[@yehbytheway2297]

I got into Syd Barret in the 90s Piper especially when the rave and psychedelic scene hit the UK. Another psychedelic band I loved from that time was Gong give them a listen.

[@MarsHottentot]

Great anecdote: playing Piper at work in a kitchen, a younger hippie girl co-worker who routinely wore Pink Floyd shirts scrunched up her face and said "Gah, what is this Shit?" Which is funny enough, right, but when I said "Pink Floyd!!", without missing beat she goes "OH! I love Pink Floyd!"😂😂😂😂

[@WolfgangXP65-67]

PFFFFFFFFFTTTTT!!!! As so she calls herself a hippie 😭.

[@sledzeppelin]

Animals is like Zeppelin’s Presence. It’s the least favorite of new fans, but it’s the one seasoned fans spin most often.

[@jonvought700]

Presence is a special album to me. Oh, hell, they're both great albums. I think Animals suffers only by comparison with what came right before and right after.

[@raulmacias6146]

Quote by SYD BARRETT ~ "There's so much around, you don't know what to listen to. All I've got at home is Bo Diddley, some Stones and Beatles stuff, and old Jazz records." Very good choices!

[@TTM9691]

The thing about comparing Syd's and Roger's work is: we don't know what Syd would have been writing in the 70s. The musical climate was entirely different in the 70s than it was in '67. Roger's work is informed by what happened to Syd, his melodic gifts and even his singing. Syd's "Dark Globe" sounds like Roger on "The Wall". //GREAT THUMBNAIL!!!!

[@TTM9691]

PS: And excellent review! PSS: Flaming was actually the b-side to "See Emily Play", so it was expendable. That's why "See Emily Play" opens the album. In America, they wanted to capitalize on the singles for albums. In the UK, they kept them off the albums (as you know) to give extra value. That's the biggest reason why you have different track listings, not to mention greed. In America, it was 12 per side as opposed to 14 in the UK (or maybe it was 10 to 12, can't remember). So the US companies could make entire albums out of held-over album tracks and UK singles. In America, there was a new Beatle album out every three months (as opposed to the two a year in England).

[@abigaildevoe]

had syd been able to stick around, i think floyd history as we know wit would have stayed the same up until saucerful of secrets. then things would have gone in a completely different direction! syd and his absence truly influenced the rest of floyd's discography

[@raulmacias6146]

Quote by SYD BARRETT ~ "I'm a painter, I was trained as a painter...I seem to have spent a little less time painting than I might've done...But it didn't transcend the feeling of playing UFO and those sort of places with the lights and that, the fact that the group was getting bigger and bigger."

Recently stumbled upon the album while tripping -- and instantly fell in love with it. This is such a radically different work from the pretentious stuff they would continue to put out without Barrett. It's raw, it's funny, and it's incredibly addictive.

[@frugalseverin2282]

British psychedelia was centered more on childhood reveries, in the U.S. it centered on long instrumental solos, acid rock. For 4 whole discs of British psychedelic music you must hear the "Nuggets II" box set from Rhino. Amazing stuff, mostly by bands you never heard of but many of the band members will be familiar to you.

[@abigaildevoe]

[@vov.7397]

I got a little misty eyed at the end there when she was talking about Syd. I love him, too. I got Barrett and The Madcap Laughs as a double album when I was a teen and listened to them practically every day for a very long time. Syd expressed something that I didn't even know was in me, and also seemed to give me permission to be silly and whimsical sometimes. Sure, I love Dostoevsky, but I also love with equal enthusiasm Caroll's Alice books. He was a rare one.

One of my favorite albums of all time, hence, one I have multiple different international pressings of. Syd was just amazing and unique. Syd is actually on three songs on A Saucerful Of Secrets by just has a vocal and writing credit for Jugband Blues. His two solo albums are also a must if you love Piper.

[@babylemonade2868]

The mono reissue vinyl from a few years ago sounds amazing. It’s my go to copy now.

[@Stimpy77777]

It’s a masterpiece; their first 2 LPs seem similar in nature to me. They expanded and grew as a band from there. If you can find the song Syd did called “Bob Dylan Blues” it’s great; even if he’s revealing his delusion about who Dylan was/is. It shows his whit and sarcasm, just as his only song on A Saucer of Secrets, “Jugband Blues” does so clearly. He was on another level. Great channel one more thing to look forward to on Mondays!

Great video Abi. It's such a shame that in the US the record company felt they had to change the track listing of this perfect debut album. To cut Astromony Domine, (one of the best opening tracks from ANY album) Flaming and Bike is just crazy. Just goes to show how little record companies know about music.

[@steveoszman8746]

Young Abi the professor of rock, what fun stuff. When I listen to this stuff way back when, I just considered it fun background music.

[@drdavid1963]

You've nailed it again Abby. Your fashion sense is straight out of a 1967 London club watching The Pink Floyd as they blazed a trail through the psychedelic scene. Piper is my favourite Floyd album. I, like you, love Syd Barrett and his sense of fun and experimentation is sorely lacking after he left the band. Dark Side is a high point and The Wall and Wish You were Here have their moments but, for my ears, I would rather listen to Syd singing about Gnomes, Bikes and Scarecrows to a psychedelic backing. - WATCHING BUTTERCUPS COME TO LI -I- I -I -I -I - IFE !!!

Groovy Baby...🎶🍄 "the" Pink Floyd... That's two mondays in a row. You knocked me off my chair. BlockBuster albums. As you said last week, We never would have DSOTM without Syd getting the ball rolling. "Piper" is filled with sound effects too. The songs are so quirky and simplistic, their genius, that's what sells. I finally got a copy of Piper in 2016. I had to research it. Mine seems to be a 1967 but released in 1969 on Tower, stereo, ST 5093, but has a multi colored striped label. Chapter is spelled right. On the cover it's" My" stethoscope, on the label it's "Thy". Also in 2016 I found a double colored vinyl set "Complete BBC Sessions 1967-1968" I'm just now interested in seeing if they merged Barrett era with Gilmour on stage or not. You are starting a new trend of bringing back 60's style clothing to match the albums. When I hear "Lucifer Sam" it feels like a 007 James Bond soundtrack. I really dig those long improv tracks that go on and on, when you're in the groove, just keep going. I'm absolutely sure Syd would have gone on writing songs and The Floyd would have had a different path. I'm grateful for all the albums. I wish the band hadn't imploded like it did. But, I have kept up with all their solo projects too. Keep spinning @ 33 1/3....📀

[@DarthWaroc]

The best album Pink Floyd ever did. Bowie said once that Pink.Floyd ended for him once Syd Barrett was gone and I feel the same.

Sometimes a single that was a hit in the UK was then featured on a US version of an album in place of other tunes that were on the UK version.

There was no Vinyl Monday that day so, forlornly, he went looking for the gates of dawn. VM so quickly established the importance of cover artwork to the vinyl experience. Holding albums in your hands is enjoyable. Looking at the tracklisting I was thinking how great it would jave been to have Emily there not realizing that it was included for the US release. It feels right. The melody is lovely. In the spirit of 'the death of the author' theory I've always imagined the song to be about Emily Bronte. I'm surprised by how unaquainted with the album I am and the snappy pop of Lucifer Sam takes me by surprise. The organ on Flaming is dreamlike. How good this record is and wouldn't they have developed into a very different band with Syd's influence. Arnold Layne was a catchy singly too. Interstellar is imaginative, distinctive. You're admiration for Syd Barrett shines: it's a warm appraisal for this fine work. I didn't arrange it Emily I'm Sorry by Boygenius has just played on BBC radio 6.

Great review!! I definitely appreciate your shoutout to outsider music as well your praise of Syd Barrett. It’s the music genre I identify with probably the most. One thing I wanted to add is that Syd, according to David Gilmour, also made an appearance on “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun” from their second album - providing some guitar to the song. It’s apparently the only song to feature all five members of the band!

[@abigaildevoe]

i always forget he's on set the controls because he's not on vocals, thank you! this will be corrected in a video soon
