The ultimate tribute to a man who holds an unparalleled place in rock mythology.
Syd Barrett remains one of the world's true cult figures. Mick Rock's friendship with Syd began in Cambridge in the mid-1960s, and flourished when they both subsequently lived in London. This magnificent book covers the period 1969–'71, including the iconic photo sessions that culminated in the cover for Syd Barrett's first solo album, The Madcap Laughs.
'Images and eye-witness accounts of a golden age that will never return.' - La Repubblica
Not only does Psychdelic Renegades exquisitely reproduce many of the most famous images of Syd Barrett ever taken, the edition also includes a wealth of never-before-published photographs. Many of these have not even been printed up from Mick Rock's original historic negatives - until now.
'We were psychedelic renegades exploring an inner landscape where everything was turned upside down. We had penetrated the looking glass and were living in a parallel dimension where everyone was beautiful and spiritually free.' - Mick Rock
