[11][14], About three weeks later, the band were introduced to the mainstream media. [84] It was one of Barrett's favourite books, and he often gave friends the impression that he was the embodiment of Pan. Singh shared a studio with photographer David Bailey, and he was friends with Beatles guitarist George Harrison. Pink Floyd – The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn Steve Huey: ‘The title of Pink Floyd’s debut album is taken from a chapter in Syd Barrett’s favorite children’s book, The Wind in the Willows, and the lyrical imagery of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is indeed full of colorful, childlike, distinctly British whimsy, albeit filtered through the perceptive lens of LSD. [101] In 1999, Rolling Stone magazine gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, calling it "the golden achievement of Syd Barrett". [67], To the band's consternation, they were forced to cancel their appearance at the prestigious National Jazz and Blues Festival, informing the music press that Barrett was suffering from nervous exhaustion. [88], In 2018, the album was reissued in its mono mix. It was also ranked 40th in Mojo magazine's "The 50 Most Out There Albums of All Time" list. [17][18] The single was released almost a month later, on 16 June, and reached number six in the charts. For the American tour, many numbers such as "Flaming" and "The Gnome" were dropped, while others such as "Astronomy Domine" and "Interstellar Overdrive" remained, and were central to the band's set list during this period, often performed as encores until around 1971. This mono CD included a slightly edited version of "Flaming". Create and get +5 IQ. "Flaming" and "Pow R. Toc H." were also played regularly by the post-Barrett Pink Floyd in 1968, even though these songs were in complete contrast to the band's other works at this time. [30][48] The following day, the band recorded Waters' "Take Up Thy Stethoscope and Walk". [8], James E. Perone says that Piper became known as a concept album in later years, because listeners wanted to play it all the way through rather than pick out a favourite song. It was unsuccessful, mainly because of the mental breakdown of Barrett.
