Have you ever wondered what Syd Barrett was playing for Mick Rock when he (Mick) came over to Syd's room to take The Madcap Laughs photos? Well... Two enterprising members of the Laughing Madcaps Syd Barrett group have sussed it out! LM Members -  Göran Nyström and Giulio Bonfissuto deserve some MASSIVE praise for that! It turns out Syd was spinning Taj Mahal - The Natch'l Blues on the Direction (Columbia subsidiary) label.
