webcast

In June 2017 a French 'Pathe Marconi' edition of Syd Barrett's Octopus single was sold for 10,500 Euro. The single came from the ORTF archives, Office de Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française.
The French-German television station Arte made a 25 minutes documentary about it all, existing in two languages: French (original) and German (dubbed).
The documentary has interviews with Peter Jenner, Duggie Fields, Pink Floyd collector Bill Palmieri (dubbed into French) and a few French people, including author Jean-Michel Espitallier who wrote a Syd Barrett book.
This DVD has the French version of the documentary: Au fil des enchères: Le 45-tours "Octopus" de Syd Barrett
Director: Joëlle Oosterlinck.
Bonus material: pre-release version of the English interviews, WITHOUT overdubs, but with some big French subtitles. (Many thanks to the person leaking this.)
