An Introduction to Syd Barrett is a collection that brings together for the first time the tracks of Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett on one compilation. David Gilmour, who originally worked with Syd Barrett on the solo albums by co-producing The Madcap Laughs and as producer of Barrett has taken the role of executive producer for the album and has, along with Damon Iddins and Andy Jackson at Astoria studios, remixed five tracks including 'Octopus', 'She Took a Long Cool Look', 'Dominoes' and 'Here I Go On' which David Gilmour has added and played bass guitar. Pink Floyd's 'Matilda mother' also receives a fresh 2010 mix. Brand new artwork has been provided by Storm Thorgerson and his estimable studio.
