Syd Barrett released 'The Madcap Laughs'.
Yes — it’s Syd Barrett, the original frontman of Pink Floyd, who left the band in 1968 due to mental health struggles. The album came out in 1970, recorded after he’d already departed. It’s raw, fragmented, and unmistakably Syd — not a polished masterpiece, but a fascinating document.
The title alone tells you everything: The Madcap Laughs. If you’re curious about early Pink Floyd’s creative source, this is where it started and ended.
