Originally broadcast on BBCradio6 music. Now available on the BBC sounds app, i believe it can be had on other podcast servers. but well worth a listen. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05k8003/episodes/downloads

Thanks... I will check this out. I've been checking out some YouTube videos on Syd Barrett lately. Some of his music I find really interesting, even some of the stuff where he was starting to become unstable... although it can be a little disturbing.

Oh yeah, many, many names I recognize there! Thanks for posting, James - I'll bookmark and check them out.

I love that song! Skip Spence is right up there with Syd Barrett and Roky Erikson, in my book.

Here's another of his tracks from Oar - very psychedelic:

Ooh thanks, wasn't aware of this. Recognize most of the names there as they formed the soundtrack to my youth and teen years.....

I then saw the A to Z of punk as well, and I know every name there....

Have just finished psychedelia episodes and working my way through punk which is equally as interesting.

Really enjoying this. I realise how much of a soundtrack to my youth this was as I was really starting to get into music in 1966/7.
