Lot #37:

Syd Barrett Signed “Dance of the Lemmings” Album Inner Sleeve (REAL)

Syd Barrett signed and inscribed the inner sleeve of this copy of the 1971 album “Dance of the Lemmings” by German rock group Amon Düül II using a pencil. The inscription reads, “Syd Barrett/ June 1975/ Amon Düül Dance of the Lemmings”. Barrett is one of the most important singers in rock and roll history, and was a founder and focal point of Pink Floyd’s early success before the band ousted him in 1968. Despite his immense talent, the rest of the band was concerned over his mental health and excessive drug use that they kicked him out of Pink Floyd. Afterwards, he released a few solo albums before retiring from music altogether in 1972. Amon Düül II is a German rock band that was founded in 1968 and is hailed as one of the cornerstones of the Krautrock movement. Very Good condition. Comes with a Roger Epperson (REAL) Letter of Authenticity and a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
