Description

Almost 4 years ago I decided to make first major DVD compilation of all Syd Barrett materials in circulation. The first set was called “Ultimate Collection” and “released” in 2009. Then later i updated this to Rev.A in summer of 2010 and then “Dope” footage appeared, so that was the birth of Rev.B ?
But this time all is different. You just need to throw away all my previous DVD’s, because this time I used non-compressed sources for this anthology, they are also more and more upgrades appeared last time. I decided to make the most complete picture, using all available sources (for example there was 4 versions of “Jugband Blues” with different audio and picture, 2 versions of complete “Look Of The Week”, because I can’t choose what’s the source is the best etc.)
This is 3 DVD set covering the most important years in Syd and group history – 1966 to 1969. I also added 4th DVD as bonus with related material (for example, how more Floyd collectors actually seen original backdrop film from UFO & Roundhouse days called “Speak” by John Latham ?)
More liner notes in DVD menu’s !
This compilation also related to HYGIY series.
I would like to thank all people who help me in this project: Pete M, Ron Toon (& Harvested), Captain Bronstain for his technical help & patience, Mark Jones for his wonderful covers.
Hope you are enjoy !

Seeing various documentaries, i found rare bit, that deleted from film.
It's included here.

Also 1994 promo + VH1 clip you get as nice bonus :)

5. Syd's Silent Home Movies - 1966 or early 67

Don't hold your breath too high! It was widely seen & available
snippet of one of Syd's home movies
(broadcasts in two documentaries, at least!).
Where it was shot & location still a mystery.
Probably it was shot in autumn of 66,
or early 67? Need to compare Syd's photos from this dates.

Some Technical info:

Complete broadcast was taken from 2nd generation VHS copy,
to this day it was best quality copy in circulation.

Non-voiceover version actually comes from Granada TV archives,
unfortunately audio of early version of "Matilda.." not survived
without voiceover.

Excerpts are included here for best enjoy and for full picture of
London Underground

2. Dope movie (Jan. or Feb. 67)

Filmed by underground filmmakers Diane and Sheldon Rochlin
for their film "Dope".

Before summer of 2009, actually no one floyd collector
knows about this footage.
It was big surprise for all fans.

Short footage of UFO Club also included
(& feat. 1 second of further floyd footage!)

Date: still unknown. And music ! Some UFO regulars says:
it was Soft Machine!
3. Die Jungen Nachtwandler (24.02.1967)

24-02-67 - Late show with Brothers Grimm and film shows.
Pink Floyd's perfomance of "IO" and general scenes of UFO Club
were filmed by German TV on this night for inclusion in
one-hour documentary arts programme entitled
"Die Jungen Nachtwandler - London unter 21", that also featured
The Who. It was broadcast on the Bayerischer Rundfunk TV
network on 3 July 1967 at 11.00pm

Master copy, thankfully, comes to me very recently.
It was best ever copy of this footage.

Best VHS source included here for historical interest only.

See The Who doco "Amazing Journey" i found footage
in UFO club, that NOT used in original documentary.
This is very brief excerpts of John "Hoppy" Hopkins and
John "Junior" Wood from Tomorrow band.

Unknown group in focus - actually Soft Machine

4. Arnold Layne (Promo video, late feb. 67)

A promotional film for their first single.
Filmed at Wittering Beach on the south coast
of England by Derek Nice,
this promo premiered at the UFO club on 10 March, 1967.

Source of master copy (?) is unknown, but 16:9 version are taken
from "A Tecnnicolour Dream" DVD.

Filmed - late february 67 or very early march.

5. Beach Home Movies (Spring of 67)

Interesting footage of Syd and The Pink Floyd
running along a beach and also viewing through a view-finder.
They all look happy, and the footage is merged with scenes of water.
1min. 56 sec

The footage of Syd on the beach is taken
from the Pros & Cons 1984 EPK video
(at the beginning of the documentary,
some brief scenes of Syd appear as incrustations;
they were zoomed for the montage)
and other short extracts that were broadcast by MTV
during the 1988 Over The Wall special (when Rick talks about Syd).

Filmed in spring of 67

6. Abbey Road Home Movies (April 67)



8mm home movies filmed outside of Abbey Road Studios.
Filmed probably by Nick Mason.

Date is still under the question, but it's looks like April 67.

Thanks "Harvested" Again

7. Bouton Rouge (Arnold Layne second promo, 29-04-67)

Some floyd's collectors (including me, haha)
previously thinks, that this are probably from
"Fan Club" programm, but this is not correct.

Promo was made in England at early morning of 29 april,
then move to Holland to mime the same song on "Fan Club".
Back to the UK again - 14 hour Technicolour dream appearance
in the morning of 30th!
What a crazy day !

It was broadcast on French TV - 21-05-67 in show "Bouton Rouge".

First source is non-remastered (by me),
2nd - from Harvested, thanks !

8. Look Of The Week (14-05-67) - Source 1

On 14-05-1967 Pink Floyd performed "Pow.R.Toh.H." and
"Astronomy Domine" live on arts programme "The Look Of The Week"
broadcast by BBC2 TV at 11.15pm. Barrett and Waters were also interviewed
by the classical music critic Professor Hans Keller, who considered their music
to "terribly loud" and a "regression to childhood". This appearance was
thankfully archieved and various clips have been used in Pink Floyd related
retrospectives, most notably in the "Sound of the 60's" BBC2 series in 1991.

Source 1:

edited from "Sound of The 60's" PAL master + unknown very good VHS source
