Haven't posted for a while, but this is so good I had to put it up here. What we have is a collection of rare Syd Barrett and Barrett-era Pink Floyd tracks that was compiled by a group of fans that call themselves the Madcaps Laughing group over on Yahoo! The "Have You Got it Yet" series is legendary among Barrett/Floyd traders and was compiled from various sources over years.
This particular collection is the new, improved "v2.0" featuring upgraded source material and the absolute cleanest sound ever heard on these tracks. These are all lossless, FLAC-formatted files for the best quality. Get a load of the track listing:
