Madcap Laughs, The
‘The Madcap Laughs’ is the debut solo album by the English singer-songwriter Syd Barrett. It was recorded after Barrett had left Pink Floyd in April 1968.
The album had a chequered recording history, with work beginning in mid-1968, but the bulk of the sessions taking place between April and July 1969, for which five different producers were credited, including Barrett, Peter Jenner (1968 sessions), Malcolm Jones (early-to-mid-1969 sessions), and fellow Pink Floyd members David Gilmour and Roger Waters (mid-1969 sessions).
Among the guest musicians are Willie Wilson from (Gilmour’s old band) Jokers Wild and Robert Wyatt of the band Soft Machine.
