Until July 2nd, you have the chance to acquire the famous orange and blue painted wooden floor that was featured on the cover of Syd Barrett’s solo album ‘The Madcap Laughs’ (1970). Syd Barrett himself painted the floorboards before the photo shoot with Mick Rock & Storm Thorgerson, and it was Storm’s photograph that ended up on the album cover.
The vendor has purchased the London flat where the shoot took place and removed the boards during renovations. There are approximately 70 planks available, mostly in lengths of around 2.7m. If you’re interested, you can visit the auction site for more information: https://bid.omegaauctions.co.uk We hope that a fan will purchase and preserve these boards together, displaying them properly.

The record was produced by David and Charlie Andrew, best known for his work with alt-J and Marika Hackman. The album features nine tracks, including a beautiful reworking of The Montgolfier Brothers’ 1999 song, ‘Between Two Points’ which features 22-year-old Romany Gilmour on vocals and harp.
The video for ‘Between Two Points’ was shot on location in London and Manchester, with David on guitars and featuring Romany Gilmour on vocals and harp. Gavin Elder who directed the clip said: “Romany performs this song with an extraordinary level of fragility, vulnerability and understated control. There’s a subtle, yet deep emotional rapport between David and Romany, captured with hand held cameras, enhancing the tension within the video.”
