 In August 1974 , Jenner persuaded Barrett to return to Abbey Road Studios in hope of recording another album . According to John Leckie , who engineered these sessions , even at this point Syd still " looked like he did when he was younger .. long haired " . The sessions lasted three days and consisted of blues rhythm tracks with tentative and disjointed guitar overdubs . Barrett recorded 11 tracks , the only one of which to be titled was " If You Go , Don 't Be Slow " . Once again , Barrett withdrew from the music industry , but this time for good . He sold the rights to his solo albums back to the record label and moved into a London hotel . During this period , several attempts to employ him as a record producer ( including one by Jamie Reid on behalf of the Sex Pistols , and another by The Damned , who wanted him to produce their second album ) were all fruitless .
