Quality:   Sup  - THE HEDONIST

Comments:  Regarded by some as the best available transcriptions of
           these early demos to appear so far. The accompanying book
           contains an interesting interview with Syd's sister Rosemary
           Breen (dated 15Aug95), a psychoanalytical discussion of Syd's
           state, and some intriguing reproductions of Syd's own artwork.
           The interview appears to have been translated from English
           into Italian and back again! This makes for some problematic
           language in places, but this flaw should not discourage the
           serious collector - the material contained here is unique.
