DVD review: Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story

There's a new range of music DVDs in the shops from next week from Slam Dunk Media, predominantly reissue titles of full price titles with all the same extras, but with one big difference - they all cost just £5.99.

First up is the Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story. Bit of a misleading title, as it's really just the Syd Barrett Story. And it's no quick cash-in after Syd's death - this is the BBC's well-received Omnibus documentary from a few years back.

Well-received because it was incredibly well put-together. With just the right amount of sentimentality, it pulls together all the main players in his early life, adds some interesting period footage, throws in a couple of contemporary fans and you a well-balanced, very watchable show for both casual and serious Syd fans.
