LSD
hey. I've heard "authoritative" assertions that Syd was a heavy user of LSD for many years. Recently I've read what I can find in print about Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett and have found little suggestion that Syd did ANY acid ~ or little experimentation with it. Am I missing something?

Please offer directions to find more info about Syd on acid.

Mick Rock
I see that Mick Rock is listed as personnel. Mick Rock did not shoot the cover, Storm Thorgerson of Hipgnosis did (although Mick Rock was taking shots the same day, these pictures were later published in his Psychedelic Renegades book). In Mind Over Matter Storm Thorgerson clearly states the cover is his. --Felix Atagong (talk) 20:54, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Biased?
This article, in addition to being very light on information, seems heavily biased toward presenting Syd, and this album, in the image of his "crazy man" legend. There is a link at the bottom of the article which leads to the text of a very detailed book by Malcolm Jones about his part in producing this album. I just finished reading it, and it is full of information which goes against the tone of this article. He describes the sessions as being very productive with very few problems. In addition, he describes Barrett himself as being lucid, upbeat, and full of ideas. Of the few problems he mentioned, most were due to studio limitations or time limitations put on the session musicians. If anyone would like to take a stab at expanding this article and maybe balancing it out, that link is a good read. I may get around to doing something one day if no one else does. I would like to see articles for more of the songs as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.182.8.21 (talk) 01:04, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

The band
If the musicians' list written down here was correct there should be no Hammond organ on "Long Gone". ;-) As the other Wikipedia articles on "The Madcap Laughs" have the same problem, there are probably no information on this topic - although I think that David Gilmour is the additional keyboarder on this album, showing a similar playing style to, for example, "Wined And Dined" from "Barrett". 217.232.103.65 (talk) 13:09, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
