New Syd Official Website

Post by Bigmanpigman »

Launched today on what would have been his 70th Birthday - www.sydbarrett.com. I think it needs a bit of work - I've been unable to access it so far. Try again tomorrow I guess.

A good selection of previously unseen photos. Gees he was photogenic!

Interesting to see a complete list of Syd's songs in the music section, with the ones that have no surviving recording noted.. does that mean more evidence the likes of Scream Thy Last Scream will be released?

Some pages work, but the functionality and features need some development ... nevertheless, it has promise and what is currently available is good and gets my vote of approval.

I wonder how it came about that they would launch it when it was broken? I guess they wanted to launch it on Syd's birthday whether or not the site was finished. Eager beavers launching a cheeky website. :o

The site looks broken in Firefox 43.
Internet Explorer 11 doesn't have that problem.
So, I guess the site looks broken because of compatibility problems.

Nice to see the site is produced by Syd's family. Maybe some things are missing or are inconvenient, but I've just browsed it a bit, and it seems fine :)
