On September 18th, The Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story will get the deluxe treatment through MVD Entertainment Group. The two-disc set ups the original running time from 49 minutes to a whopping 203 minutes. That's more than a three hour Syd trip for all you stoner mathematicians.
From the MVD website: John Edginton's documentary tells the full bizarre, tragic and celebratory story of Syd Barrett with contribution from friends, managers, and band members - Roger Waters, Dave Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Wright. The film includes rare early television appearances of Pink Floyd and home movies too. In this new definitive edition DVD, the full unedited interviews conducted by the director with Pink Floyd are now made available raw and unedited, alongside the original documentary. The three hours of DVD extras also include acoustic performances of Syds songs by Robyn Hitchcock and ex-Blur member Graham Coxon.
