next_no = 2"Terrapin" is a song by Syd Barrett that appears as the first track off his first solo album "The Madcap Laughs" and is notably the sole representative from that album that appears on "The Peel Session". The song's arrangement is sparse, like much of the album, and features only acoustic and electric guitar accompaniment to the vocals.

The song has been covered by Phish, The Smashing Pumpkins as well as David Gilmour, who featured the song on the live album "David Gilmour in Concert".

The Syd Barrett Appreciation Society titled its official magazine "Terrapin" (published from 1972-1976), in tribute to the song.
