Reissues
As part of Harvest Records's "Harvest Heritage" series of reissues − and to capitalise on the breakthrough commercial success of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon − The Madcap Laughs was re-released in September 1974 as record one of a double album, record two being Barrett's second and last solo album, Barrett. (The cover of the double album was also designed by Storm Thorgerson.) In 1993, The Madcap Laughs (along with Barrett and Opel) was reissued both independently and as part of the Crazy Diamond Barrett box set, on 26 April 1993. A remastered version was released in 2010. For release on An Introduction to Syd Barrett in 2010, Gilmour laid down a new bass track to four songs, three from Madcap: "Octopus", "She Took a Long Cold Look" and "Here I Go".
