He was invited by the record company.Mississippi Blind Child Assburn wrote:Also, slinky Permatroid, I do not wish to put you in the spotlight but this mystery has been bothering me:
we all know the story how, after 7 years absence, Barrett walks (un-identified cos he is now fat & shaved bald) into the very studio where Floyd are at the moment doing "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" - the Barrett TRIBUTE , for foxsake.
This is just too much of an impossible co-incidence.
Barrett just must of been tipped off.
By whom?
Is this chronicled anywheres? (I have not read any of the Floyd/Barrett books).

he was there when the band was there and they didn't recognise him or react until he was gone and were told it was him. He was brought in by EMI execs, I know because my (now dead) brother in law Colin Burn was one of them.

Bleedin' Nora!
You say Syd was brought in by EMI executives! Now that IS an eye-opener (if only for mesen.)
Makes sense that do.
So , allow me to let this settle in; allow me to take the measure of this:
Colin was well-known for his promotion-pushing, no?
So then , in effect, the executives exploited the mental defective to artificially cement this legendary moment , so that they could use it to help sales .
Totally underhand and....really, EXPECTED suit-behaviour.
And, you say, without the band's complicity.
Makes one wonder though: to fit the ploy all the better, the "workable" title, "Wish You Were Here" , where did that come from? Was it slyly hinted at to Waters from some EMI-agent?
Scarry stuff.

EMI were never interested in music, only money.

Which resulted in them flogging it to Hands and it's ultimate destruction! (you mean the directors not the company).
