Comment: Harvested is the most serious label producing Pink Floyd bootlegs. He only produces bootlegs of this group or its solo members. The Harvested catalog is here: http://www.harvested.org/ . His productions are neat, richly documented, very strict on the accuracy of the information provided and on the choice of sound sources. Quite the opposite of bootleg like "Fountains of Roma", from the Black Panther label. The compilation "What Syd Wants" (released in 2007) is an attempt to achieve an unsurpassable sum (both in quality and quantity) of Pink Floyd live Barrett era. However, it is clear that some bootlegs from other labels manage to surpass the productions of the Harvested label. This is the case, for example, with the bootlegs of the Copenhagen concert of September 13, 1967, whose version "Marbal's Copenhagen Tape" is much better than that of "What Syd Wants".
