Not got through much of it so far, but Stockholm '67 is amazing, mostly for Syd's mindblowing guitar playing which is clear as a bell. Given this was September '67 when Syd was reportedly deeply into his downward spiral, it is pretty amazing and he sounds on top of his game. He was truly a groundbreaking guitar player and completely instinctual.

Vegetable man is also pretty incredible to hear in this quality and the mix is fantastic too making it sound like a proper finished track, but with all the madness left in it. Scream is also in amazing sound quality, but the mix lets it down slightly in my opinion. Beechwoods sounds like a real lost classic - up there with Syd's best stuff with Floyd and even in instrumental form is stunning. Oh for a vocal take.

That's about as far as I've got with it. Still to listen to John Latham tracks and BBC '67 sessions. I'm not a huge fan of post-Syd floyd, so I imagine it will take me a while to wade through the post-'68 stuff.

Actually, I am a fan of Ian Hunter, but I had already decided to give this a miss when I first heard of it (as I did with the Alex Harvey 'The Last of the Teenage Idols' box as well).
Most likely I'll be kicking myself in the future, but one has to prioritize right?

I've heard similar stories as well Paul, but so far so good. I really should try each one out as you suggest, but I guess I'm too much of a stick-in-the-mud to break up the sequence (everything in proper order!)

Going up-thread a bit to the "I hope you're not a fan of Ian Hunter" inquiry... guess what I'm getting for xmas?
Does anyone have it yet? I'm excited as hell, but I do seem to read a lot of grumbling that it's overpriced, etc. To me, $14 CDN per disc ain't bad at all!
