Collector Guide: Syd Barrett – Opel (1988)

Opel ist das dritte Album mit neuem Material des ehemaligen Pink-Floyd-Frontmanns Syd Barrett. Das am 17. Oktober 1988 veröffentlichte Album ist eine Sammlung von bisher unveröffentlichtem Material und alternativen Aufnahmen, die während Barretts Solo-Sessions in den späten 1960er und frühen 1970er Jahren entstanden. Es bietet einen faszinierenden Einblick in seinen kreativen Prozess und die rohe, ungefilterte Kunstfertigkeit, die seine Jahre nach Floyd prägte.

„Opel“ wurde fast zwei Jahrzehnte später zusammengestellt und veröffentlicht, um einige dieser versteckten Perlen hervorzuheben und den Fans einen Einblick in Barretts einzigartiges künstlerisches Schaffen zu geben. Das Album enthält Outtakes, alternative Versionen und Songs, die es nicht auf seine früheren Alben geschafft haben.
