How strange! I always thought the December "Tomorrow's World" recording was much, much earlier. Thanks for sharing. You've done some great work here.

There was a nice melodic jam from the Committee LP that reminded me of a song I heard about 30 years ago on the radio.This upbeat,about 5 minute song was a long lost track with a baroque-like keyboard melody and a trippy guitar solo ,very Floyd sounding with a few lyrics. Does anyone know what this song's title might be?

Syd Barrett wrote 52 songs. He was a talented, gifted young man. Unfortunately, before his time with Pink Floyd, he smoked a joint now and then. Unfortunately, Syd started taking drugs very early on. His mental state deteriorated in the shared apartment where Syd lived!!! He took LSD several times a week. No brain can handle that. Drug addiction is a mental illness... Syd became lethargic... He didn't live in the here and now... He could no longer play the right scale... He wanted to climb walls... He wanted to hit his sister Rosemary's head with the guitar... At 22, Syd was a sick person. He failed as a painter and musician. I don't know if he ever found salvation or peace for his soul?? Did he ever have therapy? I'm interested in how Syd lived with his illness.
