JUST ANNOUNCED: Following its cinema release last year, Have You Got It Yet? The Story Of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd is getting a release on DVD and Blu-ray on July 19th, 2024. It will also be available on digital formats as well as On Demand.

Directed by filmmaker Roddy Bogawa and the late Storm Thorgerson, the feature length documentary drew praise for its candid glimpse into the character and artistry of Syd Barrett. It includes interviews with David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Roger Waters, along with Syd’s sister Rosemary Breen, original band managers Peter Jenner and Andrew King, The Who’s Pete Townshend and Blur’s Graham Coxon.

The DVD and Blu-ray also includes additional bonus material including live performances of Syd’s songs from 2007 by David Gilmour with David Bowie, and David, Nick and Richard Wright at the Barrett tribute concert at London’s Barbican. It also comes with a specially designed poster, which, as with the packaging, has been designed by StormStudios.
