Sound
have a listen,this is recorded live so quality is fairly low but nice capture in time of a great band

Syd Barrett connection
I live quite near to Cambridge, Syd's home town. My brother in law said his girlfriend’s mother was emigrating and had left a bunch of records at his office and did I want to buy them, they say never judge a book by the cover as I had met the lady whose name was Pauline at a wedding, a blonde sophisticated striking lady so I thought 'possibly'. Cliff Richards or worse still Des O’Connor collection, err schoolboy error which lead to me dragging my heals. Brother in law phoned chasing me and said come and look at these records or they are going in the skip as they were cluttering up the place.
Popped over and found 300 or so of the most lovely records you could find, this record, Skip Bifferty, Beatles, Stones, Hendix, loads of Pink Floyd and an autographed Syd Barrett. Wow. Yes I did buy them!!
I spoke to Pauline and it turns out she was a hippie chick whose boyfriend was in a band called “Those Without”, Syd's first group, she recollected how she would hump the gear around as a female roadie (probably the light stuff) into a regular venue called 'The Dorothy' and how she and Syd sneaked into one of the colleges to see and meet MC5. Syd was her good friend and they went to loads of house parties where these records got played. She did say some of the records were Syd's and had got muddled up with hers, so I guess a mark on a record is a bit better if made by Syd or his band.
She really knew how to look after her records and would immediately put them into plastic protectors and you can kind of sense which ones were hers and which ones like the Doors which she confirmed was Syd's.
When I asked her about the autographed Barrett, she told me she worked in a record shop called 'Millers' this is the shop Syd was narrowly beaten into second place in a twisting dance competition when he was a youngster and Pauline was there on that day working.
Many years later Syd was gonna autograph his new album for a promo prize for the shop, and when Pauline clocked it she used her “womanly charms”for Syd to give her the copy which he didn’t mind as he had another one at home, he never returned with the other copy so that left a nice rare copy.
Pauline bought many first issues as she had first Dobs of new arrivals and also she was buddies with Andy Gray of Andy’s records where more rare items would surface. (She even kept an original carrier bag with Dark side on)
Pauline’s maiden name was 'Blades' and her Dad, Arnold and their family moved to Peterborough when he became secretary of Peterborough United home of the Mighty Posh bringing a lovely record collection to our fair city.
I have no authentication as such apart from solid autograph , so will sell the records at normal prices but most are rare in their own right and its nice to know they have a bit of history.
Gonna be selling this bunch soon so keep me on your radar!
Collection fine, if posted will be very secure, signed for 1st class, tracked fully insured. Any questions just pin to me.
No new to ebayers unless cash and collection, no Russia, South America , postage too unreliable.
