NME in "LET'S PUT SYD ON THE COVER" shock!!!

Post by Jimi Dean Barrett »

Syd recently made it to the cover of the NME.
It's a Cult Heroes special, in which some of the biggest names in music - Bowie, Alex Turner, Matt Bellamy etc. - tell us about their favourite cult icons. Yep, the freaks and oddballs who never made it big, but whose influence was immense. We're proud to have Syd Barrett as our cover star for it...
That said, when they review the reissues later this year and say it's only the stuff with Syd that mattered, then they can F*@! off!
Sorry, I've forgotten how much it costs, but one for the collectors, maybe?

EDIT: Syd WAS on the cover, hope you saw and got a hold of it anyway. Deleted the link as it changed to different musicians than was advertised in the thread title.
I hope this happened after the 90 people saw this thread.
I look forward to bumping this thread when they find another excuse to put him on the cover again!
