"Syd Barrett" is a 1974 double-album pairing of Syd Barrett's two solo albums, "The Madcap Laughs" and "Barrett", both originally released in the UK in 1970.

After the unexpectedly massive success of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon", EMI re-issued the Barrett-era albums, "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" and "A Saucerful of Secrets" as "A Nice Pair" in the hopes that the fans may be interested in the band's earlier work with Barrett. Once that was a success, primarily in the U.S. where both albums had initially flopped, "Syd Barrett" was compiled to meet demand.

As a result, "The Madcap Laughs/Barrett" (as it was titled in the U.S.) made #163, giving Barrett his only US chart album.
