Шаблон:For Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Refimprove Шаблон:Infobox album Шаблон:Album ratings Crazy Diamond is a 1993 triple-CD boxed set of Syd Barrett's two 1970 albums The Madcap Laughs and Barrett, and Opel, an out-takes compilation from 1988. All discs are further augmented by various alternate takes.
"Our main plan was to find Syd's acoustic takes, before the other musicians were drafted in to overdub them. But we stumbled across some fascinating material that sheds new light on Syd's working methods." — Phil Smee[1]
Design and release
The box set is packaged in a 6 x 12-inch longbox, and also contains a 24-page booklet.
Simultaneously with this release, EMI reissued The Madcap Laughs, Barrett and Opel separately as well, along with the new bonus tracks of alternate takes.
Two unreleased Syd Barrett songs with Pink Floyd, "Scream Thy Last Scream" and "Vegetable Man" were remixed by Malcolm Jones,[2] and were planned to be released on Opel, but they were pulled, apparently by Pink Floyd.[3]
Title
The album is named after "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", a composition by Pink Floyd about and dedicated to Barrett, who led the band during its earlier years.
