Here is an early Pink Floyd track penned by Syd Barrett from the early days of The Floyd, where he was at the helm. Singing leads and playing lead guitar. A role that would be replaced by David Gilmour, later on after Barrett’s mental state unfortunately deteriorated, in 1968 on Saucerful of Secrets and subsequent albums after that. 

Lucifer Sam is about Syd’s Siamese Cat. 

       “Lucifer Sam, Siam cat.”

It’s far more psychedelic than the more known progressive songs by the band.  This is off there first LP, Piper at the Gates of Dawn. There’s definitely quite a few interesting tracks on this album, but Lucifer Sam is my favorite, and I think you’ll enjoy it. Check it out and as always, thank you for reading and listening…
