Six Hour Technicolor Dream

A rare recording of what possibly turned out to be the last recorded live performance of Syd Barrett. This original reel of tape has been the Holy Grail for thousands of Syd Barrett fans around the world. The CD booklet includes an exclusive interview with legend Twink who was drummer on the night. The band comprised of the late American singer Bruce Paine (Steamhammer & HAIR), Jack Monck (Delivery), and Twink (Tomorrow, Pretty Things, Pink Fairies).

At the "Six Hour Technicolor Dream" at the Cambridge Corn Exchange on 27 January 1972, the Last Minute Put Together Boogie Band, with guests Fred Frith and Syd Barrett, played on a bill with Hawkwind and the Pink Fairies.

The Boogie Band played five tracks before being joined on stage by Syd for a further three. This gig was recorded, and while one mastertape was confiscated by EMI in 1985, another copy surfaced in 2005.

In June 2010 this tape was offered for auction but failed to reach its reserve price. It was then purchased by the Easy Action label, who also hold the tapes of the Pink Fairies and Hawkwind sets from the same show.
