Barrett is the second and final studio album of new material by English musician Syd Barrett. Recording began at Abbey Road Studios on 26 February 1970 and lasted for 15 sessions until 21 July. The album was produced by Barrett's former Pink Floyd bandmates David Gilmour and Richard Wright, who also contributed bass and keyboards respectively. Jerry Shirley played drums; he and Gilmour had played on Barrett's previous album, The Madcap Laughs. Barrett was released in November 1970 on Harvest Records in the United Kingdom; unlike The Madcap Laughs, it failed to chart. The album was re-released in 1974 as part of Syd Barrett, which was the first US issue of these LPs. No singles were issued from the album. It was remastered and reissued in 1993, as were Madcap and Barrett's other album, Opel —both as standalone releases and as part of the Crazy Diamond box set. A newly remastered version of Barrett was issued in 2010.
