Originally published in 1982; this limited reprinting was sold through the pages of the Barrett fanzine 'Opel', edited by Ivor Trueman. 4to. Stab-stapled. Unpaginated (30pp.). 'Legend or otherwise, I was able, in a modest way, to be able to assist Syd in recording some of his best remembered solo recordings (I produced the first "Madcap Laughs" sessions amounting to half of the album). With the exception of the excellent "Terrapin" publications there has been remarkably little written about Syd, so this is my attempt to remedy this in some small way. This publication is a straight, factual account of the making of the album, "the Madcap Laughs" [sic]. As I kept all my studio production notes and files what follows is an accurate account of events in those few months of 1969.' Mild signs of handling only; the lower of the two staples is in fact two staples.
