The Best of Syd Barrett: Wouldn't You Miss Me? is a compilation album by Syd Barrett released in 2001 that spans Barrett's entire solo career.
Comprising highlights from Syd Barrett's two 1970 albums The Madcap Laughs (seven songs),Barrett (nine songs), and the 1988 out-takes collection Opel (four songs), the album was issued to service casual Barrett fans who presumably would only require one disc of his music.
As a bonus to dedicated Barrett followers, The Best of Syd Barrett: Wouldn't You Miss Me? includes "Two of a Kind", from Barrett's John Peel radio show performance in February 1970, and, courtesy of David Gilmour's personal collection, Barrett's previously-unreleased "Bob Dylan Blues", an original recorded a few days after "Two of a Kind", that before this release was a very rare and sought-after song.
All songs by Syd Barrett, except where noted.
