UNDER REVIEW DVD

THE ULTIMATE REVIEW AND CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE MUSIC OF SYD BARRETT




INCLUDES RARE PERFORMANCE FOOTAGE NEVER BEFORE ON DVD


RUNNING TIME OF 60 MINUTES



While his former band mates in Pink Floyd have become global superstars, Syd Barrett remains an enigma and a complete recluse. But it was Syd who originally formed the band, immediately becoming its chief songwriter and lead guitarist, and, many would say, the force who dominated the group throughout its most creative period.

Syd Barrett – Under Review features rare live and studio performances from this hugely influential and legendary musician, interspersed with the independent review and criticism from a panel of esteemed experts.

These include; Melody Maker contributor during the 1960s and early champion of Syd Barrett, Chris Welch ; Barrett biographer and all round expert, David Parker ; Uncut Magazine’s features editor, Nigel Williamson; former Soft Machine bassist who backed Syd on Madcap Laughs, Hugh Hopper; Total Rock DJ and journalist, Malcolm Dome and many more.

The film also features rarely seen promo films, interview footage with Syd and other Floyd members, TV clips and a host of other features. Covering Syd Barrett’s time with Pink Floyd as well as his solo years, and with extra features including; the story behind the lost Barrett recordings; the ‘hardest Syd Barrett interactive quiz in the world ever’ and full contributor biographies, this is the most complete, informative and downright entertaining Syd Barrett film yet to emerge.

Hendrix's 'flaming' guitar sold for £280,000

A collector has paid £280,000 at auction for the first guitar set alight on stage by rock legend Jimi Hendrix.
A delighted Daniel Boucher, 51, of Boylston, Massachusetts, said: "I thought I'd have to pay a little bit more for the guitar, actually. I am going to play it, I hope some of it rubs off on me.

He added: "It changed music, he raised the bar so high you couldn't get over it. Obviously it is an investment, it couldn't not be an investment for that amount of money, but I bought it because I like it."

Mr Boucher who plays the guitar himself said that he would have the get the instrument converted for right hand playing - Hendrix was left-handed.

Hendrix torched the 1965 Fender Stratocaster at the end of his show at the Astoria in Finsbury Park, north London, in March 1967.

But roadies put out the flames while Hendrix was being treated for minor burns and his press officer, Tony Garland, stored it in his parents' garage in Hove, East Sussex.

Hendrix later became famous for burning his guitars on stage but this instrument remained undiscovered until last year when it was unearthed by Garland's nephew.

Another bidder at the auction in east London spent £240,000 on the first management contract between The Beatles and their manager Brian Epstein at the the Fame Bureau's It's More Than Rock And Roll auction at the Idea Generation Gallery.

The document, billed as the most important music contract of all time, belonged to Epstein, the businessman who helped launch the band after seeing them play at Liverpool's now famous Cavern Club.

Jim Morrison's last notebook of lyrics and poetry penned in Paris in 1971 just months before he died sold for £58,000.
