Too much brains, makes you insane! God bless insanity as his!...i would like to know if guys get a hold of it too...I didn't think any copies every existed. Have You Got It Yet? Have You Got It Yet? is a collection of bootlegs of the work of Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd's guitar player and frontman during the bands early years, both in the band and in the following solo career. Initiated by Kiloh Smith of the Laughing Madcaps Yahoo! group, the collection (named after a piece Barrett reportedly presented while in the Pink Floyd, but changed each time he played it) includes several alternate versions, interviews, radio and TV shows regarding Syd and a photo album. The first CDs include some of the earliest Pink Floyd tracks, including some unreleased such as Lucy Leave and King Bee, several bootlegs from BBC and live gigs , remixes by Peter Jenner and Malcolm Jones, Out Of Phase Stereo (OOPS) fan-made mixes One of the main attractions on the collection is in the fourth CD that includes portions of the unfinished 1974 sessions, and different takes of Barrett's solo work. There are also some interviews or shows regarding Syd - one of the later CDs is a taping of a 2001 radio show, condensed to fit on a regular CD (from two hours to around 74 minutes), other Nick Mason and David Gilmour interviews, others promos and tapings of retrospective BBC and VH1 shows. The final CDs include covers of Barrett's songs by other musicians such as The Flaming Lips, R.E.M. or Robyn Hitchcock. The final release, named Apocrypha has several tracks of dubious or fake origin.
