Album Notes & Community Reviews

Issued to capitalize on the staggering commercial explosion of 'The Dark Side of the Moon', this double-LP repackaged the British group's first two studio albums. The release successfully re-introduced new fans to Syd Barrett's whimsical, defining psychedelic pop and the band's initial forays into expansive space rock.
